Actually, I just ate two tiny cans of tuna on a pair of english muffins
for lunch today in my office. I bought some oddball brand of tuna from
the Chelsea Market when I was there with Margaret and Sue one day last
spring, I took the cans to work and I promptly forgot about them until
now.

As it happens, I have to pack up all my stuff at work so my office can
be renovated. When I was going through a pile of stuff on one of my
desks, I found those tuna cans, so I ate two today for lunch. I did not
do this due to a lack of time though and the tuna was quite good!

I have some cans of soup that I need to polish off too. I will be damned
if I eat those cans of soup cold. Nothing in my life is so important
that it can't wait a couple of minutes for me to heat up a can of soup.
