The cleaner contacted me. Apparently I got the date wrong. So that hassle is settled. I did go out and get the mail. It is a block and a half away. So it was nice being out in the fresh air. Maybe I will take a little walk tomorrow as well. Supposed to be even warmer. I run cold so I do enjoy the warmer weather. Feeling relaxed enough to turn on the TV and Watch Iron Chef. I know the show is old, but I love watching their knife techniques and the way they present their food. So much better than seeing people popping out of their clothes and committing mayhem all over the place.

Good morning @thisismarilynb Nice to read your cleaner is "reset" so to speak! I agree it can often be seemingly small (to other people) irritants that send those of us who are grieving into personal tailspins.

I wanted to thank you for this post -- it made me smile and chuckle! When the original Japanese version of Iron Chef played on TV, all our family were HUGE fans! We'd never miss seeing what Chairman Kaga's mystery ingredient was and whenever we see daikon radish in the grocery or farmers market I still shout it out like he did on this show. Folks think I'm crazy, but it brings me a touch of joy.

During the show's run we moved to Chicago and one day our daughter was walking to her first job when she stopped to see what a crowd was doing. It turned out The Food Network was holding a promotional event for Iron Chef! As part of this event, they did an Iron Chef trivia contest. Our daughter joined in, much to the astonishment of the crew got 100% of the answers right, and won a basketful of Iron Chef merchandise, cookbooks, and a set of knives she still uses in her kitchen. I still love Iron Chef and nice to know there is another fan out there!

Thanks for kicking off such a nice memory for me!

I hope the sun is shining on you today,
Strength, Courage, & Peace
