Matthew, Panni, TCB, Jane and Danise: Thanks for the sentiments!!! They mean a lot!
The rains have been pouring for an hour or more...heavy, with possibly some sleet (?) considering the sounds being produced upon my windows.
I had a nice, cosy, comfy, warm, cuddly nap this afternoon (3-5 p.m.). Miss Vickie reminded me at 5 p.m. that is was "SUPPER TIME" for her....I can always rely upon her yowl as an alarm clock.
I spent a few hours today taking in the "Law and Order: SVU" marathon on USA Network, although only one of the five shows I watched was one I had not seen.
TomofOz: I did, indeed, "lurk" a bit yesterday...had to catch up on some of what I missed, although I never totally catch up after Christmas. So very much is said in any given day that two weeks worth is mind-boggling.
The best CD I bought all of last year: The magnificent, unbelievably brilliant 3-CD original soundtrack recording of Bronislau Kaper's 1962 masterpiece "Mutiny on the Bounty." It's breathtaking, awe-inspiring, and in a class all its own.
I most definitely wish every one of you -- and yours -- a prosperous, love-filled and ecstatically joyous New Year!
