Jelly on the Left
Porter has been a big fan of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as long as he was on solid foods. It was one of his first favorites and remains popular today. But there have been a few minor changes over the years. Sometimes he liked his sandwiches cut, sometimes not at all. There was a toast vs. cold bread phase. His new one is even curiouser. He now prefers half-sandwiches that are folded rather than cut, which he calls rather simply, “fold sandwiches” as in “I want a fold sandwich.” But apparently even more important is which side the jelly goes on and which side the peanut butter goes on. It’s jelly on the left and peanut butter on the right. Do it wrong and he won’t eat it. Weird. Before I was aware of this, I tried turning the piece of bread around 180° so that the two had switched places, but he wasn’t buying that. So now I know, and so do you, it’s jelly on the left.

The Widower
Call me “The Widower.” For the second week out of the last three or four, Sarah will gone almost the entire week traveling on business. She left early this morning for Virginia. Then it’s on to Florida and a meeting Friday morning in Arizona before heading home. Sheesh, I’m going to go stir crazy.
