An update to the Incident of the Unwashed Hands:
Some of you may recall a month or so ago when I was waiting for my falafel take-out order and witnessed an employee go outside to see his friends. They all shook hands and hugged, then chatted for a bit. He came back inside and returned to work without washing his hands. I found it very off-putting.

A few days later I was at the little Mexican eatery where I often go and mentioned the incident to the owners. It seems the owner of the Mexican place knows the owner of the falafel place and they sometimes have coffee together. He said he'd mention it to him, but I know he has a poor memory and didn't expect him to remember. Today when I showed up for some tacos he told me he'd spoken to the other owner, and said other owner said he'd take care of it.

I want small businesses, especially restaurants, to make it through Covid and stay in business. Please, practice good hygiene!

That's great.  I too want them to survive.

I recently purchased some no-show socks from Amazon. The morning of the day they were to be delivered I received an email from the sock manufacturer with several paragraphs of instructions of how to wear the socks. They also arrived with the same set of instructions. I do appreciate good customer service, but this is indeed the first time I've ever received instructions with a pair of socks!

I’m trying to imagine what follows...

  1. Put them on.

  2. 

They have a series of rubbery stripes on the heel to prevent the heel of the sock from sliding off your heel. A lot of it had to do with what to do if that happens. And then there was other stuff.

I always loved Kathleen Battle. I never worked with her.

I am grateful to be functioning.  Yesterday was one of my debilitating stomach pain days.  I knew it was a two day bout so I am very happy to be functioning enough to enjoy the day and sit at my computer.

I hope you'll have more and more good days.

[Jeanne]

TTFN.

Oh, God, make them stop!

But wait...there's more!  Here's the American Idol remix:

I needed that.

Enjoying Capriccio - Strauss' final opera and an opera within an opera.  I gather it's not that popular and rarely staged.  This recording is wonderful, though - Karl Bohm conducting and the singers are terrific.

Something to look forward to.

$1,300 in plumbing costs. Merry Christmas to me.

Sorry   Did they fix the problem?

I think so. I'll find out more tomorrow when the sun is up.

I have had to write processes lately, so I'm an expert at this.

Let's see:

Take 1 sock and 1 foot that isn't wearing a sock. Place the sock on the bare foot. Now, check to see if you have a matching sock to complete the ritual. If you do, you may be in luck. Now, check to see if you have another foot that needs to be covered. You do? Even better.

Just hear a little earlier that my friend Mickey has covid and has been hospitalized. She has no one with her, which is truly sad.

[KevinH]

Vibes for DR Matthew.

Sorry about your friends' Moms, DR Ginny.

[KevinH]

Sorry about your friend, DR John G.

Thanks.  I blame it on covid, but after all these years Keith finally saw how much pain I am in and wanted to take me for an ultrasound or some sort of test. He suggested it yesterday and again today.

A number of birthday memories popped up on fb today.  The most spectacular one was my celebration in beautiful Mauritius.

[Jane]

I have spent a lot of birthdays sick in bed, and there is the year my mother was in a bad car accident which was memorable.  That was a depressing birthday.  Fortunately she recovered.

[Jane]

The year we moved back to Michigan from Connecticut Keith surprised me with a trip to Williamsburg. We enjoyed a delicious birthday dinner at the Williamsburg Inn while the Christmas lighting ceremony was in process.  We exited the inn to find an enchanted old Christmas town.
