Sore throat and runny nose, and I thought I was getting better
I love Ethan Morddenn's Broadway Babies and Better Foot Forward, which is why I read most everything else he writes about movies and film, but I don't care for most of those.

Sorry to hear that, DR vixmom. Now get the hell better!
The garbanzos soaked all night and are now cooking.
Feel better vibes for DR VIXMOM.
Things are improving around here - such as they can and are.
Last night I caught an episode of Keeping Up Appearances, which amuses me, although I find Hyacinth Bucket too much like my aunt Jean to be funny. I spent most of the time wondering why no one's killed her or why Richard hasn't walked out.

Is George okay? Very unusual.
He is a party boy - so he may have had performances and parties and family last night.
Yesterday I started looking through my stuff for a couple of photographs, which I found, but this morning that pursuit led me to going through my woefully ignored collection of color slides. In addition to prints, I shot slides from the early 1970s through the mid-1980s. Rediscovered some amazing stuff, which little by little I'll scan for various people (including myself), and I'll no doubt post a few things here eventually that might be of interest.
Still no George.
Autographed Kay Cole has arrived in Indiana!
Who said it feels like Sunday? It TOTALLY feels like Sunday to me, and has since I got up. I was happy to realize it's only Saturday, which is better for doing a few of the things I'd sort of planned on doing.
I also had the triple AAA come out because it's been sounding like my battery's going bad - slow to turn over in the mornings. But he checked it, the alternator and the starter and all show as in perfect working order, so maybe it's just the cold weather.
I am doing laundry. It is a glorious day here, sunny and brisk, after all our RAIN. Can you believe it? RAIN!
The rain returns tomorrow, and as I must go outside to get to the laundry room, I wanted to get it done today.
Today, I'm going to my parents' for the weekly family get-together (it's usually on Friday, but wasn't yesterday, so we're getting together today). Also, my mom had me buy a recumbent excercise bike (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KV1MJU/) for her (she paid for it). It arrived on Tuesday, so I'll bring it over today and assemble it. I'm sure we'll play our family favorite, Phase 10 (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B004MU9V8Q/), then I'll come home for the rest of the evening. :)
And now, I must be off. I have to shower and get dressed, remove the recycling from my trunk (it's been there for too long), put the recumbent bike into my trunk, then go to my parents' for family frivolity.
Have a good day, all!

Did I post a week or two ago about having accidentally (i.e., carelessly) leaving a door ajar and running my battery down? We have a battery charger here that works beautifully, and after a couple of hours all was well. And it's been well ever since.
Until today.
This afternoon I went out to start on my errands, and -- no battery. Put the charging unit to it again, and all is well again. For now. But I hadn't driven the car for two days, and even though nothing was left turned on, AND we aren't in arctic weather, I'm taking this as a sign that it's time for a new battery. I'll check my records, but I think it's been a good several years ago that I got this one. And several years, say, five to seven, is a good life span.
I would like to file a pay pal dispute... I have not yet received BKs new book
I wish I could just tell you all all about it - believe me, that's the hardest part of this, not to be able to share even the title, but we all know about the prying eyes.
Starting to watch an Acorn miniseries called Restless with a great cast: Michelle Dockery from Downton Abbey, Charlotte Rampling, Michael Gambon, Hayley Atwell and Rufus Sewell. It's a World War II drama with connections to the present. Should be fun.

This sounds good. Please let me know if you like it.
It will be fun to see everyone again and to meet the two new members of the team.

From your trunk? You don't have a bin at your building?
Are you feeling okay?
I was worried when you said all you wanted to do was sleep.
How many years do you have with the library?
I do believe I have just finished a book. There were two options as to how many pages it would be (just a little superstitious thing I sometimes do) - it turned out to be the slightly shorter option (just a seven page difference). It feels like a good length to me and should come out around 200 real book pages. So, I actually wrote thirteen pages in two-and-a-half hours. I'm sure I'll be futzing and finessing aplenty and perhaps adding a thing or two, but if whatever I add sends it over the current page then I have to add the seven pages to get to the second option for how many pages the book is. It's over 50,000 words and it may be the fastest book I've written, although I'm not sure about that. But a day shy of three weeks.
I think this photo from Denver is my favorite photo from today's women's marches.

We have our first read-through tomorrow evening.

We shall all have to wait patiently until it's officially announced.

I'm betting it is the long-awaited biography of Millard Filmore.
