Pie in the Sky Season 5 has picked up some gumption, although I really miss one character, played by Bella Enahoro, who was written out. Perhaps she didn't want to renew her contract.  So far, Season 5 is better than Season 4, which was getting poor.

DR Ginny, have you seen this series? Richard Griffiths at times reminds me of a hefty version of Richard.

I read that Michael Bloomberg is considering running for president as a third-party candidate. Cilla, any buzz on that? I think all the attention is going to the official contenders.

I saw that earlier.  Well, that's one more ego into the ring! He wasn't a very good mayor, although I admired much about him.

My impression is that he thinks before he speaks, and I rather like that.

I ran into the mail lady on my return from the laundry room. A Netflix disc of mine had been sitting in the outgoing mail since, I think, Thursday. I asked her if they deliberately skip us from time to time. She says no, but I'm not convinced. It happens about once every 3 weeks. It's unusual for me to have a day without mail, but when NO ONE in four apartments (6 tenants) gets any, I really have to wonder what's going on.

Watched the new documentary on Tower Records - in the end it's very touching and you really understand why they went into the toilet, which I'll talk about in the notes, because boy do I empathize.

I was, BTW, really one of the first to predict they would be gone by 2006 - no one believed me, everyone scoffed and - they were gone by 2006.

Well, I need to leave now to get ready for tonight's ushering.  Hopefully, my clothes will be dry enough by the time I'm done with my shower and have to leave. :-\

Have a good rest of the day, everyone!

We went out to dinner tonight.  There is a restaurant near us with fantastic artichoke, spinach dip served with delicious flat bread and/or fresh seasoned chips.  The atmosphere and the drinks are very good.  My problem is the dinner menu.  Keith likes fish and chips and always orders that.  So far I haven't had the nerve to try the vegetarian version of paella since I'm not a fan of paella.  Next time I will because that only leave me with salmon to order.  I will eat fish out but prefer not to.

The salmon normally comes with Pearl couscous which feels too my like eating tapioca to me and I dislike the feel of tapioca, not that I'm all that keen on the taste.

Luckily this is Caturday, so I could sleep in.  I didn't wake up until almost 11:00!!! I NEVER do that. Can't remember sleeping this late since college

I thought every day was Caturday at your house

VIXMOM, here's a story in the DM Register about caucus tourists. You could be one next time

That sounds so interesting I am going to seriously think about doing this in 4 years

Haven't heard anything about that, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. The caucuses don't include 3rd parties so it wouldn't necessarily be the focus here right now

What I'm hearing from the people who support Trump is that none of the main stream politicians seem to be able to accomplish anything so it's time to try something different. People like that he speaks his mind no matter how politically incorrect it is.  It doesn't have anything to do with issues or positions, in fact a lot of his supporters don't necessarily agree on all his positions, but he's something different.  I know both Republicans and Democrats who feel this way.  Will they caucus for him?  Don't know.

Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton got the endorsement of the DM Register.   Neither Cruz or Trump would talk to them because of their liberal bent, so Rubio really isn't a surprise. They endorsed Hillary in 2008 so it's no surprise there either.

I had lots of laundry today.  It's been below zero out and my dryer vent goes into the garage so I have to open the garage door when I dry clothes.  Wasn't going to do that when it was below zero

We're about to be bombarded with the candidates last push to the caucuses. They'll be doing 4 and 5 events a day. Has to be totally mind numbing.   I  don't have a very full schedule this week so I'll try to see anyone who I haven't seen before and may go see a couple of them again, especially my top 3.

If you really decide to do it, it takes some planning.  If you wait until the last month, you'll likely see everyone.  We're notorious for not making up our minds until the last minute so that's when the big push happens.  You know, you could also do the same thing in New Hampshire. The distances to travel within the state would be a lot less than here. Of course you'd miss my sparkling company

The Dems have a town hall on tv, not sure if it's tomorrow night or a week from tomorrow and the Reps have their last debate before Iowa on the 28th, just in case anyone wants to watch.  Enough politics for now.  I am glad at least some of you enjoy reading this.  I'm trying not to get to into issues and just talk about what's happening.

Vixmom, may we "assume" (and I think we all know what that means) that you are finally where you belong?

Back from a birthday party and then the fun part of the evening - dining out with Nick and Julie at our favorite Thai place.  We were there almost three hours - what fun was had.
