How is your son enjoying his first Texas Christmas season DR DRUXY?

He seems to be enjoying it.  Settling in very well.

We'll probably have breakfast or lunch together tomorrow.

I drifted off somewhere between four and five.  I was up to feed Nick by 7:30.

I expect there will be a nap in my future.  There will be, if I expect to make it to the gathering this evening.

I am responsible for bringing (in addition to my gifts) Uncle's (that's me) Famous Shrimp Dip.  The name of the dip is an old joke.

Has anyone here read Nancy Mitford? I've started her book, Christmas Pudding, and it's like a winning cross between Wodehouse and Waugh.

I have not.  Should I?

If you're looking for a laugh, yes.

I will put the book on my wish list.

Back from Costco, which was a madhouse, but I managed to escape in about thirty minutes and got almost everything.  One of things I don't like about it is that for years they carry what you like and then suddenly they don't.  So, I had to go to Gelson's and get much smaller versions of things that I would normally only need two of.  What a joke.  But all foodstuffs have been bought save for rolls, which I'll get after tomorrow's matinee.  Oh, and tuna for the tuna pasta salad - the one thing I forgot to put on my list.  Annoying.

We almost went to Costco today, glad we didn't.  We did a quick stop at Fred Meyer where only the parking lot was an issue.

There's one thing at Costco I'm almost in need of (cat litter) but wild horses could not have dragged me into their parking lot on the Saturday before Christmas.

I did succeed in making about ten (yes, ten) other stops in the six hours I was out.

I should be awarded a medal for getting back alive. (I'll probably just be given a laurel, and hearty handshake.)

I'm at the theater and the intermission of our matinee just ended.  Last night's performance went well and so far our audiences have enjoyed it very much!

After last night's show, I went to my friend pug's house for her annual Yulefest.  It was quite festive and much food and chatting was had by all!

Just when I think the sinuses and runny nose have cleared, it revs up again.

We've been playing lots of cards lately. Rummy. It's been fun.


Are you drinking gin with your rummy?

TOD:

I will be getting together with family at my nephew's house. We're having carp, which is regional. In fact, we toured the carp museum here.


I thought your nephew was serving crap.  It sounded like a rather brutal review of the upcoming culinary selections.

I fell asleep watching the Abbott and Costello Holiday Hour.  I got about a twenty minute nap.

No. I'm new to her. I have another back at home but can't remember the title.

Now there's something I'd love, that I never think of doing, or seeking out -- watching old holiday specials. Christmas and otherwise. I'm an idiot. I would absolutely love that.

Just ouzo and beer. Not together.
