Well who was hanging out with at 18 year old Glen Levit the other night? 

DR JANE & DR VIXMOM both deny it.....

That would be DR Jane, despite her denials 😉

I am not denying indulging in 18 year old scotch.  I wouldn't have indulged if they carried 12 year.

[Jane]

My pets learned they ate when I got up, whenever that was & until then they had better leave me alone.  Dogs were permitted to wake me to go out to potty but then I was permitted to go back to bed if I felt like it

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.

[Jrand74]

LOL DR JANE.

[John G.]

Went out in the freezing weather to get a long-sleeved shirt and just walk around. I ended up with three pairs of socks, a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts. Go figure.

[John G.]

Had lunch at a Himalayan place, named aptly enough Himalayan Restaurant.

[John G.]

It tasted mostly Indian to me. Had salmon in a spicy curry and some chicken dumplings as well as garlic naan.

[John G.]

Then meandered back to the hotel.

Back from picking up a package - containing a toaster from Amazon.  I kept meaning to get one ever since I moved and never got around to it.  I had a nice credit at Amazon and so how I have one.  Haven't tried it out yet.

I decided on pizza for the meal o' the day - it was good.

Because there are a lot of shops in Chicago.  Did you make it to Uniqlo?  They have great clothes for traveling plus lightweight vests & coats to keep you warm.

Sounds interesting.  Did you like it?

The "interesting" part of my comment has been solved.

I made it to Macy’s in the old Marshall Field building.

My lightweight coat is the warmest I’ve ever worn. So warm I have to open it or take it off in every place I go into.

[John G.]

I’m now in an Italian joint called Pizano’s, owned by a member of the Malnati famiky, which started deep-dish pizza.

[John G.]

The low-carb pizza is made with a sausage crust.

I’m sitting under a picture of Joe E. Brown, a character actor who did not make anyone’s list the other day.

[Ginny]

And we're back from a delightful afternoon with our friends Tom and Sharon.  The play was very thought-provoking and provided fuel for some great conversation over a meal at Bravo Italian Cucina.  We got some info about the new building for which Cincinnati Playhouse is about to break ground.

[Ginny]

While we were occupied today, Rob and Mary Linda made the announcement to extended family that she has accepted a work promotion that will have them moving to Chicagoland after the first of the year.  We've known for a couple of months, which is why I've kept kind of quiet here.  Didn't want to spill it before all the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins knew.  There is also a job for Rob in the package and, for the first time in their marriage, he will work days and they will have similar hours.

Even the frozen food section of the market

Are you eating your way through Chicago?

[Jane]

I like the idea of a low-carb pizza but that would not do for me.  Even when I liked meat I was not a fan of sausage.  Keith always got it on our pizzas & I ate around it.

I think of him more as a "character" than a character actor -lol

Congratulations to them both.  What will Rob be doing in this new job & what about their new house??

Rob will be working in one of the testing labs, similar to what he's been doing here since last spring.  Their house here will be going on the market soon 

[Jane]

I am sorry about the house.  I hope they won't lose money on it.  If the company has offered to buy the house if it doesn't sell I highly suggest finding out what that amount will be before they put the house on the market.

[Ginny]

Good advice, DR Jane, from someone who's been there.  I'll pass that along...

[Laura]

Good evening.

[Laura]

It's been a busy bunch of days, and this week promises more of the same.
