One day, Jeff Friedland came to our senior staff meeting for a discussion. Later that day, I recorded the parts of my structures that might need to be replenished and the new look for the recent D pennies and for the older D pennies and for all S pennies.

It being the day before break week, I drove to Lambertville where I ran into DrLen getting out of his car and we drove to Frenchtown to get some Coconut Cream Cake to admire the ice cream cone sign to get a vanilla donut and as DrLen ate his coconut cream cake to admire the ice cream cone sign and bemoan the dispersion of Small World coffee (support your local everything) to the wider world.

Next we were off to Milford and to the Ship Inn where DrLen and I read the menu and the details of how they brew best bitters like these as we admire their guiding philosophy and noted the old wood the bar beyond the tables and the brick work. As DrLen read the philosophy I tried to sort out this old sign but then his curry and my wrap came with condiments which were nicely displayed by our waitress who also knew cockney phrases like ``apples and pears'' for a flight of stairs as she brought my unusual coffee and then posed for one last picture.

Next we went to the soft ice cream stand in Pennsylvania (so that we could get a free reset) and celebrated Halloween happily without dogs as we overate once more to prepare for our long hibernation into winter.
