My Encounter With Mandeep

It has been a long, long time since I've written a real blog. Since the pandemic days, in fact. But this warrants it. So there I was, going about my usual afternoon busywork at the AVN compound, when I hear a call from downstairs: "Hello?" I thought I heard my co-worker moving in that direction to see what was up, but then a few minutes later: "Hello?" Looked like it was gonna be up to me.

It's National Hot Dog Day

I am not the biggest hot dog eater in the world, but I do occasionally enjoy one. Only with chili, though, do not give me any non-chili waste of a bunned meat tube. Anyway, since it has been declared National Hot Dog Day by somebody or other, I guess I'd like to eat one later. For dinner probably. Or maybe two. Somebody go eat hot dogs with me. Oh! Maybe I'll try that funky hot dog spot by my apartment I've been wanting to try. C'mon! It's a nationally sanctioned holiday!

I am going to be eating hot dogs alone, aren't I? Like so many time before.
