Baum-kuchen is a cake, shaped like a cross section of a tree. From the German, “Baum” meaning tree and “Kuchen” meaning cake. It is also the name of a stationary store that was located in Altadena. Today they held a soft opening at their new location in Eagle Rock. I was very pleased to see the store busy.

Guys & Dolls, a quote from Sky Masterson
One of these days in your travels a guy is going to show you a brand new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet! Because as sure as you stand there, you’re going to wind up with an ear full of cider!

I am pleased to announce that I am still using my Plotter although perhaps not in a productive planning way.
Planner update: I bought a plotter (bible sized) and it’s been a near constant companion of mine. I guess it’s a bullet journal with a leather cover. Shiranami Blue.
I scheduled a vaccination appointment for tomorrow. Probably the most responsible action I make regarding my health all year.
