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.
