We had a tentative plan to meet our friends in Vegas again for my birthday.  A second couple that couldn't go last year was to go with us.  Since they can't make it we have postponed the plans.

As much as going to a warmer climate was appealing we decided not to get on a plane & drive someplace for the night.  That decision was made when our weather was still decent.

Now the temps have dropped & rain or snow is expected wherever we want to go.

Trying to find an easy, not too far, non stop flight to a warmer location has become a challenge.  So much for spontaneity.

DR John we would go to San Antonio again if we could get a non-stop flight.  We would be happy to simply walk the Riverwalk.

I enjoyed a good sourdough bread or roll.

I used to bake a white bread Vienna loaf, or make it into bread bowls, or rolls, depending what we needed.

I like a good Jewish rye or Challah.

And now, I'm finally leaving work.  I just saw that Taco Bell has a taquito-like product!  If the local Taco Bell has it, I must try it!  So, I'm off to Taco Bell to see if they have it.

Be back later.

I watched BEING THERE, a Peter Sellers film from 1979. I'd never heard of it before, but found it quite interesting.

I love that movie. Probably Hal Ashby's best. Definitely Peter Sellers at his finest.

We're having a weird fall/winter. Some days, it's freezing. Today, it topped 80. Friday, back down in the 50s. It's all over the place. And you never know what to wear. I now leave my Irish cable sweater in the car just in case.

There aren't many non-stop flights to San Antonio. If you want to spend any time in the Hill Country, you might look at Austin and drive down.

Watching a film called News from Home by a French filmmaker called Chantal Ackerman. Criterion Collection thinks she's something. Frankly, I'm finding the three movies on this disc pretentious and visually limited, yet the visuals are supposed to be the big deal here.

Glad that one is from the library and not something I paid any money for.

I managed to get the treadmill I haven't used in 10 years out to the garage. Will put it out for the next trash pickup.

I'm also getting rid of old stereo speakers. But I may donate those to Goodwill.

The soundbar has replaced the need for speakers like those.

I managed to get some stuff for a Greek salad tonight, and braving the grocery wasn't too bad.

Not too many people were buying fruits and vegetables. They were in the bakery and in the instant stuffing/instant mashed potatoes aisle.

After all the cleaning, I've discovered there's a little more floor space in this room now.

And I have more DVDs to watch than I will ever have time for in the rest of my life. I need to stop buying and start watching.
