HUNGRY GERALD

HG was busy at lunch today in HG/BSK’s spacious (3,200 sq. ft.) Central Falls, RI, loft.  There was a lot of catching up –mail delivered here while family was at the Prince Edward Island oceanfront home; unread magazines, bills, etc. HG was absorbed in breaking news in The New York Times —plus obits, opinions, columns,essays, etc. Has American democracy become Fascist? Despite gloomy thoughts, HG had a convenient lunch of Virginia Diner Tailgate Trail Mix–ingredients included sesame batons plus plenty of nuts–almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds. HG augmented this mix with Planter’s cashews and washed it all down with a tall glass of one half orange juice and one half ice water .
