I was feeling quite puny last night so I was in bed by 7:00. Around 6:30 this morning I finally got out of bed, fed the cats,m and went back until 8:00. I was thinking, is it Covid?

This morning, though, I'm moving cautiously, but I feel okay.

Hello to one and all!  There's a new Broadway Radio Show up for your listening pleasure.  I chat with singer & author Allyson Hernandez about her novel Ballad of Dreams, which began life as a musical & is now a novel filled with music.  It's a wonderful story of 2 women & their through the 20th Century. I found it captivating and Allyson was a delight to chat with!  ENJOY

Today my brother Kent came by to pick up a keyboard for his wife's computer.

I asked him if he would help me jump start Smarty and he said yes.  Of course I had already looked up where the battery is located.  Under the floor board in front of the passenger seat.

It just took a few minutes - so now I have BOTH of my cars.

My sister Paula and I are going out to Maple Leaf Cemetery today to make sure Uncle Wayne's name and dates have been place on his crypt......I got an email about 10 days ago saying the monument company had delivered it so hopefully the cemetery has had the time to put it up.

I was hungry after the gym and couldn't resist the Girl Scout cookies at the market entrance.  Aside from having shrunk to about half the size, the Samoas didn't taste very good.  Keith agreed.  After eating two I felt sick, probably just me as Keith is fine.

Darn...that's too bad. :-\

I tried another one in the evening after slightly softening it in the microwave.  While it didn't taste must better, I didn't get sick again.

Speaking of pasta, does anyone here like an arrabbiata sauce? I didn't know about it till a couple of months ago when someone told me to get a jar and try it. Apparently the really great brand to get is Rao's, and the only one I found that day was Vesper Bros. But wow, what a great new experience in tomato sauces. It packs some heat from crushed red pepper, but it's not outrageously hot or overbearing (for my taste), and the flavor is absolutely incredible.

Yes Smarty was glad to be out on the road.

The name plate looks very nice.  The dates are correct and the name is spelled correctly.  It is just as he requested.

His crypt faces the west so he will be able to have the sunset on him every day.  And he is on the top row.....so no monkey business from marauders, unless they bring a ladder.

Rutgers plays Purdue later today.....and I am hoping Purdue wins.

I have several cousins and friends who attended Purdue University - which for a long time was known as a farmers/agricultural college.

I asked my friend Brian if he had pledged to a fraternity there and he said:  "Yes, a famous Purdue fraternity:  I Grabba Hoe."  Which means something different nowadays.

At the beginning of the covid lockdown a woman began a group on Facebook called ROOM WITH A VIEW.  People around the world have shared photos looking out their windows.  Many of the photos include stories to go with the photos.  This extremely popular group avoids politics and the people are mostly kind to each other.

Currently many of the photos are from the Ukraine.  The outpouring of responses of good wishes for peace and for their safety is very moving, so many that not everyone can post a comment.

I was antsy for some light entertainment this evening, and my channel guide did not offer any hope.

I went to Disney+ and what do you think?  I watched "The Parent Trap" (Hayley Mills, Brian Keither, Maureen O'Hara).  A totally wonderful film after you get through a lengthy and somewhat annoying title/credits sequence.

Tomorrow is President's Day.  A holiday, IIRC.

No mail delivery, of course.

And sometimes there are some decent sales in major stores.

I've never made my own spaghetti sauce, so I just might add some red pepper flakes to a jar of sauce that I have.  And I already have some red pepper flakes, too.
