Maybe there's a strange door leading into the black castle.

There's a stranger door leading to Mikey's apartment.

I've finished my 2010 taxes! Yay. Hooray.

Yesterday, I watched THE STRANGE DOOR with Charles Laughton and Boris Karloff.

I remember when that film came out in the very early 1950s, yet this is the first time I'd ever seen it.

I can, truthfully, say that this is one of the worst written, directed and acted films I have ever seen.

But, the sets and the lighting were terrific.

I have the DVD of THE STRANGE DOOR sitting on my table at home, from Netflix. I saw it when I was a kid and all I recall is that I liked the leading lady, Paula Corday.

I have not yet gotten around to watching it.

Sally Forrest is the leading lady for THE STRANGE DOOR.

Paula Corday is in THE BLACK CASTLE.

Oh, I have always gotten those two movies mixed up for some reason. It is THE BLACK CASTLE that I have waiting to be viewed. However, I did see THE STRANGE DOOR not long ago.

I watched THE BLACK CASTLE on Sunday. It didn't have Charles Laughton, but I did like it better than THE STRANGE DOOR.

I'm working on mine. Almost done.

My accountant says that, because of the end-of-the-year changes, we can't file before mid-February anyway.

And if you think Tofurkey is in the shape of a turkey, you haven't seen Tofurkey.

From John G:
The last time I saw Tofurkey it was in the shape of the bottom of my garbage can.

IMHO that is exactly where it belongs

There is a local restaurant that makes two versions of Shepperd's pie, a traditional one & a veggi one. I used to made a vegetarian version using lentils that was a similar texture & flavor to the original. The first first few bites of the local one I was disappointed it didn't taste more like my favorite childhood dish. After a few more bites, and opening my mind to it, I decided it is delicious & order it whenever we go there.

I guess I never got on the vegetarian bandwagon.....it passed me by.....or maybe I waved it on.

Hoo and Ray, Rob's car passed the inspection! However, the next (and, I hope, final) step needs to take place at the BMV and their computers are down. Of course.

Richard is home safe and says the worst conditions he encountered were in our own driveway.

Wonderful news on your car!!!

Did you ice your driveway?

Mom went to the doctor this morning and she's recovering on schedule. She has stopped taking the pain pills and she's moving around the house fairly well. That's good news.

Don't know if you can read it, but I'm featured at the bottom of the page in the latest issue of Spirit, Southwest Airline's magazine. The topic: Bean burgers, a San Antonio tradition made with a hamburger patty, refried beans, cheese and Frito's. Good eats.

I can see your photo. The bean burgers sound yummy.

So, Richard called the BMV and found out that their computers are working. So he skated down the driveway and is over there accomplishing the next (dare I say final?) step.

Skating in a car is always fun.

It is obvious Richard knows how much you want your car back.

I, personally, had no problem getting to the train stations this morning. Ice easily slid off of the carsicle (love that word!), roads were merely wet, parking at the Speedline was quickly found. Speedline train quickly transported me across the river to Philly. But the R6 train to Conshohocken? My regular 7:40 train failed to show up at all (with no announcement.) And the 8:08 didn't decide to arrive until 8:20. But at least I did make it to the office. Which is more than I can say about a few of my team members, who live ten minutes away but decided to wait until noon to come in.

Grrrrrrrr....

I was thinking about you. Thanks for the report. My friend with cancer who lives about 45 minutes outside the city has her pantry stocked & is ready to stay in for the duration. Her neighbor makes sure her driveway is cleared which is made me relieved to hear.

Yes, DR Jane, they both know how much I want my car back, because I've been pouting about it since the day before Thanksgiving. Rob just pulled it into the garage for me, after scraping the ice off, and now he's cleaning out the coffee cups and other trash that's accumulated while he's been driving it.

Craig is outside doing yard work with Keith and Yogi is on the deck protesting loudly. Once in awhile Yogi becomes quiet & I check to make sure he is ok. I just checked again and couldn't see where he was. I apparently rattled the blinds looking for him and set him off to barking loudly which caused Craig to come up and check on Yogi. All is quiet again so I'm going to see if Yogi wants to come inside with me. He is very devoted to Craig and I'm not sure he will.
