Things You Learn Over Salmon




 It is still light out there, and quiet compared with last night's noisy party-like atmosphere. There is no noise. It's lovely.

 You see before you this lovely salmon dinner consisting of the delicious fish I purchased from the little outdoor fish market. With this there was a sweet potato ( microwaved) and vegetables (grilled on the stove). To finish this off, I sliced a piece of the great sourdough loaf I got from St Ives Bakery on Fore Street, toasted it, and spread British butter on top. Whilst eating this delicious repast, I listened to Howard Stern interviewing Hillory Clinton. Don't ask me why I was listening to this, because I'm not sure. But it was interesting. Howard Stern asked her a bunch of questions about that time the president found himself in deep doo-doo which did not end well. 

 Hmm. I had not thought about all this in decades, and now here it all was, back again in all its glory. I think the president told Hillory what he had done, and when she asked him why, he said because so many things were on his plate that he got stressed and went to find someone to distract him from his stress. Luckily he did not have to go very far because someone was already in the Oval Office waiting to take care of this.

Hillory was really quite forgiving after the significant dust-up that was not elaborated on during the interview. Things settled down somewhat, but the country never really got over it.

And anyway, didn't Howard Stern used to be a sort of racy guy? with shocking people and things happening on his show? It surprised me that Hillory had chosen to have Stern do the interview, sort of like a rat talking to a swan. Maybe he has changed because he didn't say as many bad words. And everybody was clothed.

Earlier, I told you the interview was 'interesting'. Well, maybe. But it wasn't all that much fun, either; so I think I'll shelve it again for the next several decades. 

But something tells me it won't improve with age.

                                                   

See you along the way!
