...neighbourhood #3 (power out)...

Friday sees newfound optimism. After a week of most of the free world bailing on me time and time again, today will be better because I will it to be so.

Lesson the first: When you make plans with people, don't take them seriously. They may not necessarily keep them. Not angry, but used to it. Thankfully, the world is a little more kind than that and one plan taken away, drops a better one on the plate. A plan delicious like a potato latke, crispy on the outside and melts within.

So raise your glass to potato latkes, and to heavy duty narcotics. They have nothing to do with each other, but both were elements of yesterday (imaginary and otherwise). The only person who would get any of this isn't going to read today, so it's written for no reason at all, it seems.
