Cicada brood IX (red…2020) and brood XIX (purple…2024)

Today’s highlights:

  • Andy and I went for a walk after work.
  • We had a Zoom birthday party for my niece.

Today’s ice cream:  n/a

Today’s beer:  Haychaser from Pitt Street Brewing Company in Greenville and Hop Bullet from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company in Mills River.

Today’s pet peeve:  My mother had to verify her identify with the IRS. This involved a username, a password, a mailed access code, a letter number, a control number, a one-time passcode over the landline and two numbers from her 2019 tax return. That seems like a lot to put a little old lady through…

Today’s moment of gratitude:  Parmesan goldfish are the best flavor. And they were BOGO on Saturday at Harris-Teeter.

Word of the day:  Estival
