HUNGRY GERALD

Yea, HG was very sleepy yesterday when HG joined BSK at the Riverside, RI, home of HG/BSK daughter, Lesley, and her husband, Massimo. BSK has been dog sitting there. Lesley and  Massimo left Toby, The Wonder Dog, and Pip, the sensitive and brilliant female, behind as they were off to visit their daughter, Arianna, in Colorado. Meanwhile–until today–HG has been living alone in HG/BSK’s Central Falls, RI.,loft. In a previous post, HG noted that loneliness has some virtues. (And sometimes it means getting to bed much too late and awakening too early). Drowsy HG’s spirits were enlivened by spending time with BSK and eating an afternoon bowl of ramen enriched with silken tofu. HG had the pleasure of watching Miami and San Diego State get to the NCAA Final Four by winning close games (Plucky Miami made its usual second half comeback). Dinner was BSK’s delicious improvisation. BSK found some Italian sausage in the fridge and cooked it with tomatoes, garlic,onions, tomato paste, olive oil–made a lovely sauce sauce when served over linguine. HG dusted the pasta with parmesan. Enjoyed it with many glasses of Italian red wine. Slept in a king size bed with BSK (Woman of endless virtues.) Dogs slept at the foot of the bed. Happily, HG slept until noon. Bliss.
