I text, asking if he's really there, and he is. But it takes so long for him and his one other co-worker to clean the place before they get to leave that they didn't get done until about 12:25! It took about 15 minutes to drive him home, then another 15 for me to get home. He was very appreciative and said that if I hadn't been able to drive him, he would've had to walk home! It was cold and he was not dressed warmly enough to walk that far at night, so I didn't mind driving him home.

And that was my evening last night.

Did he happen to explain how 11:10 turned into 12:25?

Yes. He said that normally it wouldn't take very long, but it got really busy during the evening and there were only two people there. They didn't have time to clean while they were open, so it all had to be done after the customers left. And because the other people who would normally be there weren't there (he normally works in their Lacey store), the two of them had to do everything. $:-\$

The bathroom leaks continue. The plumbers haver restored some water pressure to the bathroom sink, but the leak in the main valve will be an issue next week.

So i watched the first season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

I liked it more than BK, but i didnt get what all the fuss has been about. The style kept changing as the episodes progressed. And i didnt care for the exercise scene stolen directly from The Women.

The lead is quite good but, down to the hairstyle, she reminds me of crazy Lydia on A Place to Call Home.

Oh, and the anachronisms bothered me.

John G. · « **Reply #39 on:** December 28, 2018, 01:10:20 PM »

But any show that features a lot of Blossom Dearie on the soundtrack is okay by me.

I wish the music credits were included at the end of each episode.

That is super nice of you. Sorry but making you wait that long was ridiculous. He should have asked you to come at 12:20am not have you wait.

If there's a next time, he will. I figure that it's because he's young, but since I stay up late anyway, it wasn't a horrible situation...or maybe I'm just a pushover.

I hope that everyone's travel plans are proceeding as planned.

Well Ellison and Hunter both passed away close to the same dates as my mom.....Menzies passed away last December 24 - and now I do remember her son writing about it on Facebook....Fabray died last February....so I guess I just spaced it......

BK - Did you know Norman Gimbel? Mr. Gimbel passed away at 91. He was the lyricist on several of the TV themes for shows you were on. (Was this already mentioned oin HHW?)

I am enjoying some cheese and crackers.

Probably healthier than the non-stop sweets this past week.

Nobody ever gives you a three-pound box of carrots for Christmas.

Would we eat them if they did?
