I realized there were no black slacks in the closet so again pulled down a bin from the shelf to try on pants. There were two pair of dressy slacks and one of them fits so I've saved myself a shopping trip. I also hung up a few more pair of jeans (good brands that I held onto even when they didn't fit). I didn't buy the LL Bean jeans but I have put a comparable Eddy Bauer pair into use.

Today was an eating day and a special event day - a friend and I went to dinner then to an evening lecture. I would swear this guy knows every wonderful little restaurant in town so it was pleased that I could introduce him to a New Jersey submarine sandwich shop (in business since 1980). It was a delight to see him read through the lists of all of the sandwiches they make (they have names and/or numbers) with the usual sandwich meats, but also peppered beef, salami, pastrami, sausage, pepperoni, and other named meats, mostly Italian, that I couldn't tell you what they are except they're found on antipasto trays. Cheeses, marinated red bell peppers, topped with "the works" - onions, tomatoes, spices, oil and vinegar. This is a gift that keeps on giving, because I know in the next few weeks he'll go back to try other sandwiches.

A delivery today of a phantom Amazon order - something I never thought I ordered (I was looking at the category to find the size bottle I've previously ordered), and not a quantity or price I would consider. It must have been a misplaced keystroke, and it seems it can't be returned, so it got a really scathing review. Really odd.
