And the word of the day is: VICTUALS!
We have a 3:00 appointment, and I'm not getting anything done for it quickly enough.

Well, that's much more efficient than taking too much time to get nothing done, don't you think?
If everything goes according to plan, I have a wonderful surprise arranged for DW Wife Betsy today. Her best friend from college is in Portland for just a couple of hours, showing her daughter Lewis and Clark's campus, and I'm picking them up from the airport and then getting Betsy, who only knows something special is happening today at around noontime.
When I arrived yesterday to visit my niece she had set up an easter egg hunt for me. Only thing was that she hid them in the same places that she told me my sister hid them earlier! :)

Uh-oh--I've seen this plot on a sitcom once.
DR elmore & DR George, thank you for your comments (last month) regarding UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. We watched it last night & I too loved the movie. :) Keith gave it three stars on NetFlix.

What'ya know, my favorite all time movie (Attack of the Puppet People [1958] )was released in the middle east, back in the day! It is comforting to know that filmgoers the world over have been exposed to this movie.
I wonder how the reviews were?

We still have one mystery bird, but I sent a photo to a bird expert to see if he knows what it is.
Friend has arrived, Betsy has been surprised.
Last night, there were 12 of us dining on crown roast of pork stuffed with macaroni and cheese, a ham, purple cauliflower, a just-picked garden salad, plenty of snacks, homemade Kalamata olive bread and who knows what all else. What was missing was the asparagus, which I forgot to prepare. Guess I'll be eating two pounds of it over the next few days.
Desserts were a blueberry pie with whipped cream and an apple cake with rum sauce.

I saw a mystery bird last week. I was passing a car that obviously didn't see me...or didn't like that I was passing...and the driver flipped me off.
Why, I could not say. I was doing the speed limit, I didn't blow my horn, and I had no clue as to how she could have been pissed off at me.
But that mystery bird flew all the same.
Has anyone ever ridden on an electric bicycle? After watching TAR last night I'm thinking it would be fun to have one.
The paper has finally been submitted. Spent the last six hours doing corrections and rereading it and doing more corrections. I can actually take a few days off!

Back from an impromptu meeting with an editor friend. Something is in the air, I think - something that might just be a lot of fun.
Well, we just got an official e-mail saying that the candidate who was offered the collection manager job (my supervisor) has turned it down. "Although we found an outstanding candidate, her current employer offered her more money to stay and she turned down our job offer." The position was originally announced in early February and it's now late April. Who knows how long it'll take to do this all over again.
My sister and I have had a full day shopping and lunching and shopping some more. We came home and picked up my brother-in-law and went to the outlet mall near Frankenmuth before having dinner at Zender's. The shopping was mostly looking at potential mother-of-the-groom dresses and I deduced that it will be a challenge, but not impossible to find something. Mary Linda's Mom wants us to wear floor-length, but she hasn't chosen her color yet. I'll wait until she does before I start looking seriously.
The attendants are wearing purple. The only reason I'm shying away from my favorite blue is that my mother wore navy for our wedding and it looks black in the pictures.

Lucky person getting offered more money to stay. I'm surprised there wasn't a second choice.

There were two in-person interviews, but the other candidate really wasn't as good a choice as anyone would've liked. There was a very good in-house candidate (in the opinion of several of us...although she didn't make it to the final round of "in-person" interviews), but the director (whose decision it is) did not agree. ::)

Maybe the director will take a second look at the in-house candidate.
The mystery bird is a western scrub jay.
Here is one I found online:
congratulations on your new plateau Dr Jane!!Ditto.
