I have never had any leftover pizza. I'm too much of a glutton.

I usually am, too. But we had some substantial appetizers before the pizza. The arancini were like deep-fried macaroni and cheese balls, only with rice instead of pasta. And we had some sausage-stuffed mushroom halves with a mountain of cheese melted on top. then we had two pizzas.

We just watched the 2015 film version of Ahrens and Flaherty's Lucky Stiff.  Fun!

One could almost gain a lot of weight just reading HHW.

DR Laura, I've never seen the Kitten Academy before, but I've now subscribed to it.  Thanks!

I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.  Got up at eleven-thirty and dealing with a touch of merde soon thereafter, but hopefully that will go away by the end of this day.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  Yesterday afternoon we had a video chat with Charlotte and her parents and in the evening we had a socially distant patio dinner with friends.  I made lasagna, Sharon made a salad, and our hostess Marianne made garlic bread and chocolate mousse.  Richard, Tom, and Steve (and their wives) ate and drank heartily and enjoyed the in-person conversation.

Apologies to TCB for not responding to his inquiry last night.
I remembered that someone had asked this, so I went back and found it:

Quote
I have never seen ASSASSINS, is Santa Claus a character in the show?

That character is Sam Byck whose plan it was to assassinate Richard Nixon. He wears the Santa suit throughout the show, which is unexplained, but it fits in beautifully with his persona and his two over-the-top monologues. It's based on his having been arrested at a protest in which he was indeed in such a suit.

Here's a pic that wasn't mine to share on the other site.

Mom is taking a short nap. Then we're doing to the park near the cemetery where Dad is buried. We used to go there when I was a kid. I remember ponds and ducks and all sorts of weeping willow trees, really serene.

Nice.

Good Afternoon.  I am done with my church duties for the day.  Got the car washed now I'm home futzing with the old video camera.  I've been a crusade of digitizing things, so it's like Christmas whenever I put in a video tape because I have a bad habit of not marking things. 

I'll probably go for a bike ride and then return and get things ready for the week.

We had a nice long birthday chat with Craig.  He spends most of his time on the computer planning classes and trying to teach.  It is sad the hours of work he puts in each day doesn't offer much reward.

Yes I would like a recipe that gives the secret of the sloppy joe staying together.

I have changed my shirt twice.

DR Jane - bless Craig, and all teachers who are doing such important work at this time. They are working so hard to pull things together, at great personal cost and without much acknowledgement (or compensation for the extra effort).

We are watching Kol Nidre services at the Temple where DH Jayson plays. Everything was pre-recorded over the past month.

Thank you.  What shocks me the most is the amount of time that is required to teach from home.  Everything is new.  He said the other teachers at his school are all working as hard.

Funny stuff - was nuking stuff from iTunes and came upon two Saint-Saens piano concertos with Philippe Entremont doing the pianistics.  I forgot how much I love his playing and these were magnificent performances with the added magnificence of Ormandy and the Philadelphia  Orchestra.  So, I looked up to see what else was available, as I could see I had two other concertos with him playing.  And I came upon a wonderful original jackets box from 2014, which Amazon told me I bought in 2014.  So, out to the garage I went and found it right away, brought it in and began loading the other seventeen albums, which I realized I hadn't even gotten around to listening to!  Disc one, recorded in 1950 in glorious Columbia stereo sound is Grieg's piano concerto - great performance, coupled with Rachmaninov's Rhapsody, also spectacular.

I'll second that greeting.

It was interesting. The sermon this morning would have made a good message for Yom Kippur. It was essentially calling for everyone to take stock and atone for past mistakes.
