Ode to a perfect sandwich

I know it sounds silly to marvel at something so pedestrian as a sandwich but I find myself is just such a position. I normally make a couple of folded sandwiches with which to break my fast during my hour long morning drive to the office. In recent past these are usually nothing more than toast with some butter or CheezeWiz on them. But an inspiration took me to try adding some luncheon meat to the folded feast and upon trying the product, I decided that this was a good thing. I’ve varied the types of luncheon meats that I have used in them and have found that I detest any kind of honey baked ham but that I love pastrami. This helped to greatly improve the morning breakfast menu.

Today was notable in that I also added some very thin slices of white onion to the sandwich. The experience was an epiphany. No, really. I know we all have those moments of absolute clarity where we understand where we are in the universe (although without actual comprehension of the fact) and find a level of contentment as sought by the the tenets of Zen. The moment remain quite clear in my mind. The traffic was even quite agreeable to the moment in question, such that the experience was that much more intense. I am almost afraid to see what the effect of adding mayonnaise to the equation will bring.

Not much of a radical nature in life right now. It feels like I am in a period between the ebb and flow of tides. Work life is wonderful and the challenges and situation very much suited to my temperament of at this time. I am deep into reading a LOT of books thanks to finding a new source for material. We’re well into the new allergy season and as such I am pretty much closeted in my room for the balance of time I am at home and not having to do any yard work. And when I do have to engage in outdoor activities I am careful to wear a dust mask to limit exposure to all of the allergens. The kids are well and Shirley is quite happy with her studies. Now if only the economy can find it feet again, it would truly be idyllic.
