Central Grocery

\"CentralCentral Grocery, a mom-and-pop style store, has been in business for over a century. It\’s famous for its olive salad and the muffuletta sandwich.

Now and then I visit Central Grocery when cravings for a \”muf\” (pronounced \”muff\”) strike. You can get either a whole muf or a half-muf, and believe me, a half-muf is a very generous meal!

So this morning I headed down there. I needed a break from working on the web site, and besides that I\’ve really wanted a half-muf lately. Saturday mornings I\’m usually busy getting groceries, and Sundays I\’m usually out on a long bicycle ride. Now, before my vacation is over, was my chance.

And here I am back home.

Early this morning I took a short jaunt on the road bike, and rode over 6 miles. I felt a twinge in the hamstring here and there, and I still can\’t push the pace, but things are getting better. After a week or so of not riding until daylight, it felt rather strange to be riding in the dark. It\’s amazing how quickly I became unused to the visual aspects of riding in the dark. But I\’d better get used to it again, because next week it\’s back to the old grind.
