I slept poorly.  At 2:00 I got up, dragged out the neti pot and flushed my sinuses.  I spent the remainder of the night getting up every 90 minutes or so. Thatch, who had to move each time I got up, was very sweet about it.

This is 2 year-old Cali, railroaded by the ACC! He was brought into the Manhattan ACC only three days ago - only three damned days ago! - and the "staff" have marked him for death two days later: one lousy photo, no video, and because he's terrified, they've charged him with their usual excuse to murder a healthy dog: behavioral concerns.

The poor dog is terrified; he's lost his home, security, and possibly his life today. They must really want him dead.

I don't believe I ever tried it.  We used to live half an hour from there.  There were always loads of samples when we shopped.  Mostly we went when company wanted to go shopping and see the store.

I think the price of fruitcake has gone up because the fancy fruit has become pricey.

DR TCB, not sure what to say about the lack of response to your note.  Not everyone responds to emails.  If you are sincere about tonight I say send it even if they don't write back.  Wish them a happy solstice and then not worry if it is you.

I'm at school today hiding in my tech lab, trying to get everything prepared as I'll be missing 2 weekends at church after Christmas.  Not hard work, just tedious.  Tonight, I'm going to Great America - a local theme park - where for the past 2 years, they've had a "WinterFest" where they decorate the park, and there are shows, rides, etc... It's a lot of fun, reasonably priced, and a good alternative to the decorations of Disneyland - which I'm not getting to again this Holiday.

My head hurts, my eyeballs hurt, my teeth ache, and I suspect this will be worse before it starts clearing up.  Last year I came down on Dec. 26, so I hope this is on its way out of my system by Dec. 25.

Vibes this cold has a very fast turnaround!

Ditto!

The only happy ones are the new manager and her bestie who she hired to replace me
Neither of whom have any experience with the job

Oh, my goodness!  Who owns this company?  Why would they let that happen??

Just a sole attorney, he turned 50 and lost his mind

This is sad.  Audrey Geisel, Dr. Seuss’ widow and noted philanthropist, dies at 97 (https://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-ln-audrey-geisel-seuss-widow-obit-20181221-story.html).  But wow...97 years old!

97, not bad.

The package was delivered.  I hope the combination caramel & cheese popcorn inside the tin is still fresh.

This is 2 year-old Cali, railroaded by the ACC! He was brought into the Manhattan ACC only three days ago - only three damned days ago! - and the "staff" have marked him for death two days later: one lousy photo, no video, and because he's terrified, they've charged him with their usual excuse to murder a healthy dog: behavioral concerns.

The poor dog is terrified; he's lost his home, security, and possibly his life today. They must really want him dead.

I've always felt that the people who work in these "shelters" who put healthy animals down are sick bastards.  Definitely something wrong with them.

The Austin paper today gave MARY POPPINS RETURNS a "D-" review.

I'd heard it was quite good.

Anybody see it yet?

I don't know - do you read this site???

Yes, but I don't memorize it.

I saw Mary Poppins Returns the other day.  I enjoyed it but not nearly as much as the original.  The Washington Post reviewer gave it 1 1/2 stars out of 4, which I think is a little harsh.

I think that's the review that was reprinted in the Austin paper.

Is he getting ready to close down shop?

I wrote the email today to the entire cast and crew (minus the stage manager), but then I decided to delete it.  It just wasn’t worth it.

I did receive a survey from the theater asking me to evaluate my theater experience.  I just laughed and laughed.
