Prior to reliable refrigeration, it was basically a way to preserve foods. My friend from Hungary once brought me a sausage from his home that had never been cooked. It was WONDEFUL.
Support Network 7/29/20
Our support network, in an ideal world, should begin with my family. Mine just reminded me that my support network does not include them
Shameful Heritage 7/29/20
I love the opportunity to ask about their homeland and their experiences and perspective of America. Unfortunately, right now, the US is rather hostile towards people from other countries.

Uncle Al 7/25/20
He was so kind, but he was married to Aunt Rose, a racist nightmare of a woman who, as it turns out, was my father’s sister.
WPAFB 7/24/20
if you find yourself in Dayton, check it out, and try to get beyond the holocaust display. Believe me, it’s worth it.

The Summer Show 7/22/20
we were married on July 20. We were separated in June, and the divorce was finalized in August. I lost two jobs in the summer, and my mother died in August
Hospice 7/21/20
Today, I received a text from a number that my phone did not recognize that said, “Hey Rich, just FYI, they have admitted your dad into Hospice tonight.”
