Big congratulations to TCB on his beautiful round millstone. 

I was glad you held out for the arrival of DR George because that was one not to miss.  And kudos on selecting such an ideal quote for the occasion.  Well done, sir.


Thank you, sir!

Good news about the novel from MR BK, a comic novel is always welcome!!!

AND congrats on moving ahead with getting your pension money that is all YOURS and belongs to you and should be in your account.  Hopefully that will include your social security AND Medicare A & B which is most reassuring to have....just in case.

Some good choices for the TOD....I shall continue to think.

When I saw the description of the SHERLOCK HOLMES and saw that it was set in the original time period, I thought for some reason that it was NOT a Cumberbatch episode.....so perhaps I will see it online or ON DEMAND at some point.

I feel like Emily in Our Town.  I'd like to go back to a family gathering around 1960. My grandmother, my parents, and my aunts and uncles seemed so much older than I. Now that I am older than many of them were when they died, I'd like another perspective.

DR elmore--please say hi to Ben and Anthony for me.  I considered going to NY this weekend but it was too late to get a good train fare or airfare.  The hotel prices are very reasonable, though.

Will do!

Me, too, DR Elmore.  I'd like to go back to the 1920s or '30s in Owensboro, KY, to meet my paternal grandmother and Indianapolis, IN, to meet my maternal grandfather.  They both died before my parents even met and loom large as mythical figures to me.

Today I'd like to visit Mom, but I'm still coughing (especially when I talk too much) and I sound kind of like Darth Vader.  Maybe tomorrow...

Like DR ELMORE, I am sometimes astonished to realize that I knew my grandparents when they were MY age now, and they seem so much older than I am today....

And I watch old movies and realize that I am older than Humphrey Bogart, for example, when he died....and older than so many of them when they made the movies I am watching.....

It is a strange feeling.

I need to make some recordings today and do some shopping.  Tonight is the parish staff Christmas party in which I (along with the youth minister and Fr. Brian) am one of the chefs.  It's a fun gathering.  I'm hoping to take tomorrow off from church, also.

I've been up for an hour trying to answer a lot of e-mails.  I didn't fall asleep till almost six because of the old itchy leg thing.

Back from a lovely lunch with cousins from the Scranton area (or more specifically, Dallas, PA).   

Interesting that they think nothing about coming into New York City just to see a show or a ball game, while it seems so many New Yorkers think a 2-1/2 to 3 hour trip requires an over night stay.  Or am i wrong about that perception?

Aw, man.  I never got in there.

But I'm sorry to hear about such closings, anyway.  Damn it to hell.

Sadley Rio was a bust due to lousy weather, long lines to see nothing, and the tour guide refusing to go someplace else where of interest.

We are losing our wifi.  Hopefully I can post from our next stop, Iguazu Falls and the hotel has wifi.

We are leaving the ship at 6:30 tomorrow morning.

I hope we can see the falls and don't have a repeat of today.

I'm listening to Kiri te Kanawa's Christmas album. After dealing with her and her general and genuine ugliness on her Gershwin recording, I never wanted to hear her name again. When I realized that the album was arranged and conducted by Carl Davis, I decided I should hear it for his orchestrations. Him I like. Her I don't.

i think i only l like her on the A Room with a View soundtrack
