YARD WORK…

 

I GET IT. IT’S BEEN A LONG SEASON AND IF WE LOOK AROUND, THERE’S ENOUGH REASON, TO GRAB A RAKE AND GET SQUEEZIN’

 

HOWEVER, IT’S THESE TRANSITION TIMES OF YEAR, THAT I SEE CERTAIN INJURIES AND HEAR STORIES WHICH I’M NOT TRYING TO MAKE YOU FEAR OF GETTING OUTSIDE TO WORK, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE  CLEAR ON A COUPLE OF STORIES AND INJURIES AND STORIES AND I SEE AND  HEAR... 

 

A RETIRED MAN WAS EXCITED TO GET OUT IN HIS YARD AND RAKE. 

 

HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS “GIVIN’ IT” LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES AFTER A LONG WINTER…  

 

BRISK, RAPID, RAKING. HE WAS MAKING SOME PROGRESS, AND THEN HE NOTICED HE WAS STARTING TO HAVE SOME UNUSUAL PAIN IN HIS LEFT ARM AND CHEST. 

 

SO HE SAT DOWN TO TAKE A REST…

 

NEXT, HE BEGAN TO SWEAT. NOBODY ELSE WAS HOME, SO HE DIDN’T WANT TO TAKE ANY CHANCES OR BET..

 

SO HE CALLED HIS NEIGHBOR, TOLD HIM WHAT HE WAS FEELING AND WHAT WAS WRONG… THEN DIALED 911…

 

WHILE HE WAITED HE DID A SMART THING… HE DIDN’T LAY DOWN. 

WHEN THE AMBULANCE ARRIVED, THEY HOOKED HIM UP TO A HEART MONITOR WHILE HE SAT IN HIS HOUSE… AND THEY LOOKED AT THE MONITOR AND SAID.. WELL IT DOESN’T LOOK BAD ARE YOU SURE YOU’D LIKE US TO TAKE YOU IN…?

 

SEEING THAT HE WAS ALONE…AND HE HAD CHEST PAIN, LEFT ARM PAIN AND WAS PROFUSELY SWEATING HE SAID “WE SHOULD GO” 

 

WHICH THEY DID AND WHEN THEY GOT HIM IN THE TRUCK, THAT’S WHERE HE RAN OUT OF LUCK..

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
