Good morning!Will be leaving for Buffalo this morning, I think. They're expecting high winds and several inches of snow. I hope my flight isn't delayed for hours.
After seeing the promos NOTHING could induce me to watch a movie called THE LIFE OF PI.
P.P.S. to TOD:I stand corrected: I did have a favorite thing during this past year -- a "former" co-worker and friend was hired to be my new boss! Things have been going very well at work since he came back.
One of my big highlights was being taken off Plavix in August, which indicates my reaching the 2-year survival point from my heart attack.
Yes, I am alive
The telephone guys were just here putting in a new telephone pole - but hey didn't move any wires so we have the telephone pole that got smashed still up with the wires connected and a new one next to it with nothing connected to it
Well I discovered that my package is now at a reasonably local FEDEX location so I have to drive 20 miles round trip to collct the thing

I have been getting the flu shot every year and been fine this is the first year I caught anything but there is definitely a virulent strain going around Vixdad and I still are fighting the gift our SIL gave us on Thanksgiving and from what I hear she still has it as well

TOD:Travelling is always the most memorable time for me and this year I had a good time in Prague, Kiev, Vienna and Madrid.Attending the Olympics and having the Olympics in London, was the most fabulous, memorable event of the year - in fact of many years.
I looked in the mailbox and what did I see? A Christmas present? No.Another jury summons.
Watching Once Upon a Time in America still. Delivered two boxes of caramels, picked up one package and no envelope (slow this time of year - envelope is coming from Washington and I was told three times it was absolutely sent), had an omelet and a bagel for the meal.
We watched KILLER JOE last night.There are some difficult to watch sequences in this one, but it is one of the most clever and surprising black comedies I've seen in years. Performances are excellent.Gina Gershon's first appearance is certainly one for the books.
DR John G your year does seem to be ending very well, except for losing your badge & books not arriving on time.Vibes your badge is found before Monday.
I hauled out the holly...tablecloth and got the dining room somewhat ready for Christmas dinner. Richard and I then went to Kroger, which was a zoo. Fortunately I didn't need too much, just some last minute things that I would have shopped for yesterday if the weather had cooperated. We survived and are in for the night.
Well, we sold all but two copies of the book that we had, which was good, about 33-34 in all. We also got to see a lot of people that we knew and catch up with them, which was fun.
I only had time to bake on thing, so the beer cake is in the oven. It smells wonderful. It should. It has allspice and cinnamon, 2 cups of nuts, 2 cups of dried cherries, blueberries and figs, and 2 cups of beer in it.

You all know what the worst event of the year was and still is.
