On Sunday morning, went to the mega Indian grocery store in NJ - Patel Brothers. Seemed like the latest trend in fashion for Indian people is to go grocery shopping in their pajamas! Wondering if this is limited to NJ or it is a nationwide phenomenon?
Have been listening to Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited” on a loop all day long. What a fantastic album it is! Can’t believe it was released 60 years ago even before I was born.

Spotted another of Fernando Botero’s “La gorda” statue in his home country of Colombia. This one is in Plaza de Santo Domingo in Cartagena. The other one was in San Juan, Puerto Rico about two years ago when Botero was still alive.

I hate daylight saving time. By the time it is dark enough to start imaging, it is after 8 pm. Not enough time after that on a week night. It will only get worse from here on. Hoping for some clear nights on weekends - not going to happen this weekend. ☹️
Wanted to be a stay-at-home dad and now want be a kept-man but, it is not working out. Can’t seem to get away from the day job. 😬
My son is at the ACS Spring meeting in San Diego. On Wednesday evening, he is presenting a poster with 2 other students about their undergraduate research over the last year. If you are there, please go ask him some tough questions. 😄
I’m going to see The Moth live tonight at the Garde Arts Center in New London, CT. I’ve followed this show as a podcast for many years, and seeing it live for the first time will be great.
