I had a positively horrible night of it. I turned off the lights around 9:30, fell asleep shortly thereafter, and woke around 11:45 to a fierce barrage  of fireworks that had thrown the cats into panic mode. I believe they ere all hiding under the bed. The noise continued until 12:45 or so, so I put on my glasses and read more of Shy until 1:30. Then I slept very badly until the alarm rang at 6:30.

I spent much of the night worrying about the cats, Thatch in particularly, since he's got a bad heart. Annabelle came back t sleep on her pillow next to me, Stella showed up to check in shortly thereafter, but much as I called Thatch's name, he never showed up until early morning, around 4:30 or so, when he settled next to me and stayed until the alarm rang.

Happy New Year!

I had a nice New Year's dinner at the country club with Butch and Sharon.  I had corn-and-shrimp chowder, a Caesar Salad, Filet Mignon with asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes, and I finished with tiramisu and coffee.  We met at 5:30 p.m. and we were done by 7:30 p.m.

I spent my evening watching two football games:  TCU vs. Michigan and Georgia vs. Ohio State.  They were very good, intensely fought games.  TCU and Georgia won, but both games went down to the final plays. 

I also watched a few more episodes of "True Blood" before calling it a night.

One nagging item, though:  While my dreams were odd but harmless, I recall thinking I was going to fail a subject in school because I had not been going to class.  In fact, I have had this dream before. I believe I am in a class that I didn't like and wanted to drop.  But...I had failed to withdraw and feared a failing grade that might prevent me from graduating.

I don't know where that comes from, because nothing like that ever happened.

Corn and shrimp Chowder sounds delicious.

It really was.  I like shrimp well enough, but wasn't sure about it being in a chowder.  I reasoned that the corn and shrimp are key elements in a "low country boil" (which is a really delicious combination of corn on the cob, shrimp, potatoes and sausages), so it would probably be fine.  And it was.

I have HBO MAX because I have an HBO subscription. TCM is not included in that for me on Comcast, I had to buy some kind of sports package to get TCM a few years ago.

I only have HBO through my cable provider (Concast/Xfinity) and the HBO Max I get DOES include TCM and other channels.

Taking a break as I've been writing for the past two hours. I finessed what I'd written and have written about eight more pages. I'm not sure how many pages of this book I'll do a day because the style of it is weird and so pages take longer to write. But I'm enjoying it so far.

Oh, no...Anita Pointer, Singer of The Pointer Sisters, Dies at 74 (https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/news/anita-pointer-singer-of-the-pointer-sisters-dies-at-74/ar-AA15RPyB).

They performed at the Washington Center in the early 2000s, and at that time only two of the original sisters performed.  They included one of their daughters to make the trio.  I ushered for that show and they were fantastic.

I think I've written about eleven new pages, in addition to the fourteen or fifteen I'd written in advance and that I futzed and finessed. So, I think I'll shower now and then begin cooking. I may write another few pages after people leave. But so far I'm on page twenty-six so that's pretty amazing actually.

My son was video calling them lighting the sparklers, and big loud BANGS loud enough to make them all jump kept happening. I told them they were gunshots and were close by. He was sure it was just fireworks. I was so glad when they went back inside.

To all who wished me and family well:

The visitation was quite an event.  I arrived at 1:30 p.m., half an hour early, and it was already underway.  The line did not abate until about 3:50 p.m. 

I met a lot of people for the first time, saw folks I hadn't seen in a while, and reunited with family members I hadn't seen since my Uncle's passing in late February.

There were good memories being shared and a lot of joy that Rob's pain was over.  He was a well-loved member of the community, and it turned out for his family.

From DR Singdaw:

Quote
Apparently Dorothy Parker wrote to Robert Benchley on December 31, 1929:

Come right over here and explain why they are having another year.

That describes exactly how I felt this year ;D

Dorothy Parker also wrote that she once went to a Halloween party at a friend's apartment.  Upon arrival, the friend exclaimed that she was just in time...that everyone was "ducking for apples".

Parker replied that except for a "typographical error", that activity was the story of her life.

I can relate.

It's my bedtime.  I have a morning memorial service tomorrow at 11.

I need some restorative sleep so I don't scare anyone who might attend.
