That is great news.

I have only read The Splendid and the Vile.

The Splendid and the Vile - is that about my dating life?

[Jrand74]

I have almost decided to get a larger TV machine.  I saw one on sale today......I talked it over with my sister and of course she encourages to spend the money.....

So I probably will......tomorrow......and increase my viewing area by 10" diagonally......

So, on December 3rd, I bought a 1765(!) publication of John Gay's The Beggar's Opera on eBay for the grand sum of $47.97 ($39.99 + $3.86 shipping and $4.12 tax).  It's not in great condition, but I just liked the idea of owning a book that's actually older than the country.  The estimated delivery date was last Friday, December 11, but it was not delivered. As of yesterday, the last item in the shipping info was on December 8:  PROCESSED THROUGH USPS FACILITY, JERSEY CITY, NJ 07097! 

[George]

Well, today, FINALLY, there's another tracking item:  DEPART USPS FACILITY, FEDERAL WAY, WA 98003. Hopefully, it'll get here tomorrow, but more than likely, I'll get it on Monday.

Gratuitous Post #100!

Here's a picture of the title page from the eBay listing:

Here's the cover:

I really wonder if I overpaid.

[George]

And here's another page where you can see the "quality" of the book:

[John G.]

Looks wonderful, George.

[George]

Looks wonderful, George.

Thanks, John.  I just hope it's not stinky.

[George]

And now, I'm going home.

Be back later.

Zoom meeting was a bust - one of the people "forgot" - so, tomorrow at five.

[vixmom]

Dear vixmom, I thank the stars every day that you are now working where you are and away from that last dreadful company.  I love your boss, too!

Today was my 2 year anniversary

[vixmom]

I wonder if DR VIXMOM got to stay home today?

She did not

[vixmom]

Hmmm George. I consider honey vegetarian. I don't know if it is vegan. That might depend on how the bees are cared for.

I had read (assumed??) that honey wasn't even vegetarian.

I suppose it is perspective.  Bees are not killed to get the honey.  Originally I did not know they could be harmed.

Dairy products and eggs aren’t vegan either

So there are two owners of the law firm, my direct boss who is the elder brother and his younger brother (who is a year younger than me) who if course is also my boss

[vixmom]

Let’s call them A and B

[vixmom]

So B runs the day to day stuff .

[vixmom]

He texted us all this morning and said it would be a delayed start and we should stand by

[vixmom]

Vixdad and I were outside by around 8 to clear the paths

[vixmom]

I used the shovel on the pathway and front stoop and Vixdad used the scary impossible to start snowblower on the driveway and cleared off the cars

[vixmom]

It was cooooold

Listening to Strauss's Daphne - attractive music, but not my favorite of his operas.  Karl Bohm conducting, so that's always a plus.
