Watching The Circus, which I'm loving. Chaplin and the Girl are sweet together. Her relationship with her horrible father is all too typical and a bit disturbing.

Keith went to the Barber in the same shopping area.  After his haircut he went to the gym & picked me up on the way home.  I walked over to Fort Vancouver before my appointment & then met him at Fred Meyer after we were both done.  It is very convenient getting our hair cuts there.

No. I've made New Orleans Oyster Artichoke Soup though.

Do you like Jerusalem artichokes? I tend to ignore them in public because they cause flatulence even more than beans. But I do like the flavor.

Oh, I had no idea.  I don't normally like Jerusalem artichokes but the soup sounds good.  I used to make my mac & cheese with DeBoles Jerusalem artichoke pasta but I haven't found it here.  On the very rare occasion I make mac & cheese I buy whatever looks good now.

Jane, did you see that the PBS's book club choice for November was The Overstory? I can't remember, did you ever finish it?

I've not read enough of the two library books I've started to know whether I like them yet or not. One is Inland by Tea Obreht. The other is Flights by Olga Tokarczul, who just won the Nobel Prize.

In The Circus, Chaplin does a tightrope bit with monkeys that is truly hilarious.

Thanks.  I am looking at the Goodreads favorite book discussion books.  I have read & liked a good many of the books on the list.  Maybe I can find something there I haven't read.  It is a long list.

BK was right. The Circus is prime Chaplin. Laughs and heartbreak. It's got it all. And the Criterion print is just gorgeous.

I was hoping I would still be here when George got back from Seattle, but I don’t think it is going to happen.

Sorry, Tom.  You posted your post about the time I actually got home, but I had to feed my cat, feed myself a snack, take my meds, brush my teeth, then I crashed.  When I got to work today, I never had a chance to ketchup on today's posts, until now, but now I have to leave work because I've been here too long. ::)

Be back later...but not much later!

I am out of the shower and sporting a new bandage. Aren’t you all proud of me? Of course you are.

The cut is about two (count ‘em) inches long and has about a thousand stitches. Well, maybe not quite that many. But Nathan says that’s a good thing. On the face, the more stitches the better, for nicest healing.

Healing vibes for you!

I learned this summer that facial stitches should be removed after 5 days.

I’m actually scheduled for the 8th day. I’ll check with them tomorrow. Thanks, DR Ginny.
