firsts i miss due to covid
« on: May 16, 2020, 06:06:28 PM »
the first...

...too-hot bite of a sausage pizza out of the wood-fired oven at my fave pizzeria

...icy sip of a cold negroni on the first really hot day of the year sitting outdoors in my favorite bar

...fresh cone of cotton candy still warm from the sugar spinner at our town's fair

...first morels of the season from our farmers market forager

this lockdown confirmed that i need a a metric fuck tonne of cash to live a happy retirement

I miss simple stuff too!  Some stuff you can recreate at home and others just aren’t the same.  I bet you could learn to make a wicked Negroni at home, though.

I really like freshly spin cotton candy, but I was amused it made the list.  I only have it once every few years because that’s about as often as I encounter a situation that sells it — how often are getting cotton candy that the virus distributed a steady supply?

Anyway, it doesn’t seem your aspirations are so high you need a “fuck ton” of cash at retirement.  Although it is good to know whether you are the type of person who just doesn’t enjoy restaurants (like some - many? - Mustachians) or a person who derives actual enjoyment.

On the flip side -  stoic perspective- doesn’t not having something make you appreciate it even more?

I suspect that this was an exercise in irony gone awry :-)
