My right shoulder has been bothering me again lately. I don't know if it's the rotator cuff again, or something else. My current plan is to be diligent about my stretches and exercises for the rotator cuff for the next ten days, and then decide whether to call my GP. (Getting in before Thanksgiving, given that it's not remotely an emergency and we're traveling Wednesday, seems unlikely.) Doing the strengthening exercises today, I found three went very smoothly, and the fourth caused an immediate "ouch" in a way that suggested I'd hit the relevant muscle, or a relevant muscle. However, that felt more like upper arm than shoulder, so there may be two things going on, or I may just have pushed things at the gym yesterday.

I have uploaded some more photos to Flickr: autumn in the park, two weird vegetables, and one picture of Julian. Here's one sample: a bush growing on the edge of a steep hill, with bright red leaves

When I was buying a piece of fish at the Greenmarket today, the vendor warned me that they won't be there next Saturday. I told her I wouldn't either, but thanked her for the warning. A bit of chat about plans led to her asking me "What's in Boston, your children?" I said "No, my girlfriend," and smiled. I not only look old enough to have grown children, I am that old, but it still surprised me.

We get the college alumni magazine (it would take an active effort not to), so it goes in the stack of "things to read in the bathroom" along with Science, the Nature Conservancy magazine, and occasional catalogs. I tend to do a really fast skim of the "class notes," and was thus reminded that my class's 25th reunion is next spring. If it weren't Wiscon weekend, I might think about going, though I'd probably decide against it: I haven't either kept in touch with, or missed, those people. The key point is the second half of that, I think.

[livejournal.com profile] cattitude has been buying hummus as a snack lately, and he is working his way through the flavors available at the nearest grocery. The garlic doesn't have enough garlic in it, and the pine nuts weren't noticeable in the pine nut flavored hummus, but the roasted pepper is nice. (The brand name is Sabra; this is not a global opinion of garlic hummus.)

Sabra Olive is quite nifty -- salty enough, at least. Another variety we're fond of is Three Kings (with camels on the lid!) Their garlic is truly garlicky.

Yeah, I happen to consider any garlic in hummus a plus factor, but withold Global Opinions in this sphere. Errrr... not that I consider hummus a snack in itself, but rather something to enliven pita or other grain-based items (including tortillas de maize, "Jewish rye bread", &cet.).

Sabra's "Supremely Spicy" flavor is very good. But you're right the garlic isn't garlicky enough.
