6.206 jus’ chillin’

Saturday 06/28/2025

Day of self-indulgence. In the morning I walked over to the local farmers market and bought a basket of raspberries and two ears of corn. Then for lunch, I shucked one ear of corn, wrapped it in saran wrap, and gave it 2:30 in the microwave. While I put the raspberries in a bowl and poured over them the contents of 6 of the little coffee creamer things I had picked up in the dining room. So that was lunch: hot buttered corn on the cob and raspberries with cream. Or, “cream”. Whatever, it was good.

Middle of the afternoon I walked down to the Edgewood market. That’s a walk I’ve taken with Joanne a couple of times (and expect I will again in a few weeks). Hmm, looking at the phone I see I have got 5.1 miles, 12K steps, for the day. Not all on that walk, but, heck, go me.

At5:30 I was looking at the dining room menu for tonight when I remembered, there is a summer concert in the park series starting. Tonight at Mitchell Park, Petty Theft (Tom Petty cover band). Well, what the heck.

Rather than get out the Forester, I took Lyft for the 3-mile ride. Probably picked up at least a mile of that walking just getting from one end of the large park to the other and back. They had advertised “food trucks” but there was only one. I had a burrito, it wasn’t bad. But I did not have what everybody else had come with, a chair or at least a blanket.

So I stood around and listened a while and decided I wasn’t that big a Tom Petty fan after all, so I came on home.
