I have yet to receive my first Christmas card this season.

Today is the birthday of my nephew Lance.....who is married to a stupid bipolar woman who is 19 years older than he is.  Because he is completely under her thumb - he hasn't seen his family in over five years - no communication.....she says:  "He isn't ready...."

Anyway - she is one of the very few folks in the world that I truly hate. 

Because of her, Lance did NOT attend the funerals of either of my parents - his grandparents - they made arrangements to come before anyone else...."because of circumstances..."

My mother would have loved to see him before she passed....and certainly would have loved for him to be there for dad's funeral....BUT "circumstances" prevented it.......

I think I've talked about it before.....but anyway.  Happy Birthday, Lance Gambill.....miss you, buddy!

I mostly went to the drugstore for lunch, which always included an Orange Julius, with my mother.  I have fond memories of going there   I don't recall the newstand next door but then she would not have taken me for comic books since she didn't like us reading them.

Annabelle loved today's patrol.  We ran into Maryanne from the fifth floor who petted her and told her how pretty she is.  She purred so loudly I thought she'd explode.  She'll be hard to live with today.

I have yet to receive my first Christmas card this season.


I have received two, one from DR JohnG and one from MTI.  I hold my cards and open them on Christmas day.

Irony:  the check is ready and it's just now about the time I had anticipated yesterday to pick up the check after my haircut.

But . . . the check is ready!

RE: The Magnificent Ambersons....

I have only seen it on TCM a few times never on DVD....but it is hard for me to watch Agnes Moorehead in anything because her voice and delivery is just so DAMNED irritating....I try to avoid her when I can....

Thursday morning greetings!  Monday and Tuesday were busy days with my women's groups and yesterday I kind of vegged.  Today I'm trying to get motivated before we go to a holiday reception this evening at the local Miami University campus.

I am turning off my computer and leaving for the airport.  Then we are off to Las Vegas where I expected it to be warmer and drier.  Nope, only got the warmer part as it is raining there today.  It should be partly sunny, but warmer, for my birthday.

Dear Santa,

I want a bassoon for Christmas. Thank you.

Your pal,
John

PS, don’t make me bring it back from Germany. Please.

Home from picking up the check to find good news from the NYC ACC: the14 month-old puppy Cliff has been rescued from euthanasia today.  That leaves me five dogs to fret over before 6:00.
