My New Love

Love my new Beagle Mug. Love the polka dots, and at the bottom of the

cup are inscribed the words LOVE YOU. That's a lot of love, but we all 

need that these days.  Usually, in this particular cup, I drink  Quik Masala Chai

which I get at an Indian grocery store in Beaverton. A friend of mine gave 

me a packet to sample, and I became immediately hooked. Yes, it is possible 

to make  Masala Chai myself, but it would not be  Quik.

Bill has his own Beagle mug. His says "A house is not a home without 

a beagle." So true!  And a house without a beagle in confinement would be

less sane except around 5 P.M. when the beagle barks loudly at all

the dogs walking by.  Especially helpful during a lull in a Zoom Meeting is

showing the beagle off to other Zoomers. I always

watch her face. It evokes total incomprehension of technology and screens

with a certain "Je m'en fous"  (I couldn't care less.)  French students, please 

do not use this expression unless you are certain of its appropriate usage.

 It is often considered impolite.
