Mothers Day (Mother’s ?? Day?) was this last weekend. It seems Reed College is having graduation now. Because of this our planned trip to the Crystal Springs Park, a haven for birds especially waterfowl, was way too crowded to visit. Instead we went to a mini cart pod a few blocks away. A mini cart pod is a place with just a couple of food trucks. In this case there were three of them. The devil of temptation took over my brain and I ordered a Cuban Torta, a Torta Cubano, and, well I think that is it for Torta Cubanos this year. Why? Because the things are so filling. Because they include breaded pork loin, pork hot dogs, sliced deli ham, fried eggs (yes, plural), queso cheese, avocados, refried beans, onions, and a tomato, and Mexican mayonnaise. Or maybe the meats are different. One source says this sandwich was invented in the 1950s on Calle Republica de Cuba in Mexico City. A cook served everything he had stuffed onto a torta. Torts are not small either. No, I did not finish this one. Maybe tomorrow, there is do much there. If you eat meat you really should try one of these Someday. Someday. Then again, I could have the second half for dinner. I would have enough food to put me to sleep and I could use a good, long, full night of sleep.
In other unsolicited advice, hop onto YouTube and watch the current VlogBrothers featuring John Green. He is in Cincinnati (sp checked there) for a filming of a book he wrote. He is staying in a BNB where he took art from home so it would be a nicer place to stay. Except for the “art” bought by the owners. One of the pieces is Wanderlust in large type with its definition. Wanderlust? In Cincinnati? I agree with John Green, it does not fit. But worse, it cost a lot, way more than they could have spent on art from students at a local college. We have art from locals, like the I am sorry about the reflections on it but this etching was available locally. I know the money went to the person who executed it. (OK, forget ¥ does talk about art and what it does for us. Worth the 4:00 limit.
All of this is what happens when You Sit Down and Type. This is a response to Keep On Truckin Mike’s response to someone about the subject of freewriting. it is what I do almost every time. If I wait for ideas or inspiration to | arrive you end up with what I had in One Typed Page over the last two days. I do like to say that the muse will come to visit and see what you are up to when you are busy typing or painting or drawing or taking a walk or cooking or doing whatever it is you do. Sitting around waiting for a visit Just won’t work. The muse doesn’t care about you then. Do something and the muse will come to visit.
