DR John is there anyway you can get the recipe for the incredible Old Fashioned I had?  I would like to compare it to Craig's recipe.  I should tell him about the trick to dissolve the sugar cube.

I can message Chris from the bar. I think one of the differences, however, is that it was aged in an oak barrel for a few months.

The bourbon?  I don't remember, or never knew, what was used.

I've done seven pages so far and I do have to take at least a two-hour break now, maybe three, then I'll try and do the other three or four.  I do know where I'm going for the next five to ten pages so that's comforting.

[Jane]

So, here are Kathy and I this afternoon at Langan's.  I've known her since 1973 or so.  She looks so much like her mother.

What a nice photo! I'm glad you were able to visit.

It wasn't long enough  because I have so much to accomplish before Thursday's orchestra reading, but we had so much catching up to do.  she and John now have three grandchildren and two married daughters, and I wanted to hear how my ex sister-in-law is doing.  John gave me his impression of Lady M, since they have now crossed paths at several family events.  We have similar views on her charm.

That is a comfort they can see her charms, nothing worse than suffering from a person and others see it as being in your mind.  My close friends, my brother, and Keith's family saw what my sister was doing to me.  It was very hard to deal with those that believed her lies.  When she was up she could charm anyone and they loved her, that is until she turned on them

I found an incredible deal on amazon for one of those lightweight Tommy Hilfiger coats that allow absolutely no cold in. It is likely the warmest coat I've ever found and it was marked down from $195 to $38 for one-day only. I shared the sale with a couple of people who didn't buy it on that day. Now that I've got the coat they want me to find it on sale for them.

What did you buy?

I found a couple of heavy men's down jackets.

I see a women's jacket but it doesn't say it is that warm.  It is cute though & has a hood.  I need the warmest coat possible with a hood.
"This is the puffer that's light on bulk with a slim fill that works best on those in-between days."

There are some nice tailored jackets.  With the heavy layers I were tailored won't do-lol

[Jane]

DR John, my compliments on the great deal you got for the coat.

[Jane]

An excellent review of the Debbie and Carrie movie:

Thank you.

[Jane]

Now that credits have started rolling, I see that 10 Cloverfield Lane was co-written by the man who wrote and directed La La Land.

I shall tell Keith.  I'm not sure he has been interested in La La Land, however, we did like 10 Cloverfield.

Very nice!

Continued recovery vibes to DR Ginny.

Thank you, DR Jeanne!

Condolences to you for the loss of your friend...

Richard and I just came from dinner at The Spinning Fork, an Italian restaurant here in town that we like a lot.  I only wore my glasses to read the menu and he kept saying, "Are you sure you're my wife?"

Here's what I bought. I don't know if there's a woman's version or one with a hood. I have a knit cap I wear instead of the hood.

  The freedom of not wearing glasses is wonderful.  I am currently enjoying it with these new contacts, yet I wish they were more comfortable.

I am fascinated by this and would like to read about it.

Thanks.  I wear a hat, a pull up hood from a sweatshirt, then the jacket hood if I have one, and a scarf wrapped around me.  I am out in the cold a LONG time.

[Jane]

I saved the info and will explore more tomorrow.

We laughed when I realized that I couldn't read my own watch, but I could read his across the table!

I will have to have reading glasses that are more comfortable than these $10 ones from Target.

If you need any for the computer get some with an anti-glare.

That is a nice jacket DR JOHN G.

Performance vibes for DR GEORGE.

I enjoyed the BRIGHT LIGHTS documentary.....but circumstances made it difficult to watch.....

This pair I have works for reading and knitting, but I discovered pretty quick that they're not great for the computer.  I will talk to Dr. Meier about how to address that issue when I see him next Friday.

The Cocktail Dudes have something on barrel-aged old-fashioneds.

I remember laughing hysterically when I first heard Laurie Anderson's "Walk the Dog" back in 1981. Her voice, her music and her storytelling have hypnotized me ever since. I can understand that she's not for everyone, but if you enjoy her work, check out Heart of a Dog, a movie/meditation on life and death and what happens in between. She has an odd, highly personal take on 9/11 as well as some humorous takes on her dog learning to play the piano and taking up painting, all of which somehow morph into a loose tribute to her late husband, Lou Reed.
