One guy got in at the last possible second - he'd already taken the first memoir three minutes before. Then we closed but he somehow got in and got the second memoir and the total went up to five bucks under 29,500. So, we were only 500 away from 150%. What will be interesting, as it's happened before, is if anyone contacts me about something they missed. If that happens, then we just do it via PayPal or one of those kinds of platforms that I never remember the name of.

Topic of the Day:  I'm pretty excited to get everything, and it's always fun to get the name in the CD perk, but I'm especially excited about getting the Sondheim hand-corrected music, the Harvey Schmidt Art, and the Piano/Conductor's score for Take Me Along. ;D

I am not feeling well. Sme of it's poor sleep, and I'm sure soem of it is anxiety over my financial situation, and I suspect some of it's depression over no work. I'm sorry to be such a downer. Now that the cats are fed, I'm going back to bed.

I treated my cousin Butch, Debra and her husband Rob to dinner at Christine's Farm to Fork in Edgefield last night.

I wanted them all to order whatever they wished for.  I thought they would go for steaks, but they all ordered pork chops instead.  Truth to tell, they were very thick and beautifully fried pork chops.

My choice was one of the two specials: Sauteed chicken and vegetables over rice with sriracha sauce.  It was tasty.

Everyone seemed happy with their meals.  For dessert, Butch and Rob had house-made peach ice cream.  I had the house-made strawberry.  Debra was too full for dessert.

I'm the type who normally would go for a steak, too, but when I read DR Ron's post about the thick and beautifully fried pork chops, I immediately wanted to have a thick and beautifully fried pork chop.

I grew up having pork chops for dinner occasionally at home, and I think I made one or two attempts at cooking one in my earlier years of living on my own. I liked those at home okay, but they weren't anything special, and my own was probably an overcooked dried out disaster. I haven't even thought about doing it (or even grilling some) in years, nor have I ordered one anywhere.

Hmm. What to do, what to do? Oh well. The next time I pass through Johnston, SC...

The pre-show is a four-kid version of The Tempest. Very funny.

I think that (Silas Marner), To Kill A Mockingbird, and Gone With the Wind are the only books I remember reading in my teens that reduced me to tears.

I’m a big ol’ crybaby. To Kill …, Pere Goriot, The Yearling and Where the Red Fern Grows are among the titles that caused a tear or two.

I am not feeling well. Sme of it's poor sleep, and I'm sure soem of it is anxiety over my financial situation, and I suspect some of it's depression over no work. I'm sorry to be such a downer. Now that the cats are fed, I'm going back to bed.


Prayers and hugs to DR elmore.

I watched (I have no idea why)a documentary called IMPACT AFTER THE CRASH.  Wow!  A school bus full of mostly teenagers from a church group is hit head on by a drunk driver.  The bus explodes in flames and 27 are killed.  It is truly horrible to watch, but I am glad that I watched it.  I think it should be required viewing by everyone convicted of a DUI.
