Tell me that Ken Russell is not speaking with a Russian accent.

The power is flickering off and on.

Our power was off for a couple of hours and came back on just before 10pm.

I just got off the phone with a mutual friend, warning her to be careful the next few days.

Laura,  can you share the story behind your quote?

It was part of a dream I had a week or so ago. We were watching a skit about going to hell, and a kid looked distressed. I asked him if he was ok, and he said to me, "I'm sorry; I'm from Minneapolis."

LOL

DR Elmore, I upgraded to Windows 10 and now my speakers don't work. When my IT guy comes over next (my son), I'll have him fix that so I can listen to your interview.

Finished The Black Stallion Returns and watched half of another movie.  In addition to the two tacos (I ate the leftover meat without shells or anything), I had two little flour tortillas (120 calories each) with a little low-fat cheese in them.  I wasn't even that hungry but I had to get up to 1000 calories.  But then I got adventurous and did another jog - this one a mile-and-a-half so today was a four-mile day.  I probably netted out around eight hundred calories, and that's fine.  I'm still full from the tortilla things and that means my tummy has definitely shrunk.  This is now almost five weeks of being a very good boy and jogging every day.  Pants are fitting much nicer now and the big part of what had become a little gut is pretty much disappearing, but I have at least twenty to twenty-five pounds to go, but I'm over the difficult beginning hump for sure and I've certainly lost at least twelve pounds.  So, onward.  I'd like to be down another six pounds for sure by the Kritzerland show and three pounds more by the ALS benefit, and then six pounds more by the anniversary show.  That will give me a very good idea of how much further I need to go.  I have a certain goal in mind - and I've tried to attain it during the last two diets but didn't quite get there - this time I will absolutely get there.

It'll be great for the two plants I put in this Saturday, a tiny avocado tree in the ground and a plumbago in a large pot.

How nice.  May they both do well.

The power is flickering off and on.

We had a couple of incredible storms this evening, and while the power stayed solid, the landline phone went dead.  That's highly unusual.  It must have been off for four hours or more, and I just noticed it had a dial tone again.

It is better to lose the landlines than power ;)

I am glad you have both working now.
