Thank you for chasing this shipment down, BK.

Good Morning.  The boys and I slept in a little today.  They are very cuddly.   Yesterdays festivities were very low key, but fun nonetheless.  Everyone is planning a big "blow-out" for next Christmas, I'll just be happy to get through each day as they come. 

In the meantime, we do what we can and stop complaining about it.

TOD - our family all shopped each other’s Amazon wish lists, so there weren’t many surprises other than which things were from Richard and which we’re from Rob and Mary Linda.  I got books and craft supplies and Richard got books and DVDs.  That tells you a lot about how we each spend our days during the pandemic.  Considering we have several more months of isolation, our gifts will come in handy.

I am very sorry.  Your brother is just being petty now.  He doesn't have to agree with your actions but he should take it personally and simply done the next best thing.

I'm killing time for the next hour before the Irish Rep show.  Thatch, Stella, and I had a nap together.  Annabelle refused to join us and napped elsewhere.

I'm listening to a podcast featuring a great deal of Rebecca Luker music (sadly, nothing from Anything Goes). It's good in that there's much more music than talking, but the host always pronounces her husband's name "Bernstein." It's very irritating.

Uploaded all of my music from Christmas. I did listen to The House Without a Christmas Tree. Ricky Ian Gordon's music sounds too much alike It's somewhat interesting at the beginning, then it all sounds the same, over and over again, endlessly.

Springsteen is up after Rebecca Luker.

We did not get mail delivered today. Did anyone else? Or should we take it personally?

It's intermission, and it's quite enjoyable.  Joshie's orchestrations are really good.

No, but I’m going to try to catch it before it closes.  Looking forward to your reactions.

Maybe it just needed to be trimmed down to a more manageable length.

One Amazon package has been sitting in New Jersey since 12/2 - it has apparently JUST left New Jersey.  Class action lawsuit for Mr. deJoy and the USPS.

The podcast does have a few of Luker's songs for BK at the end, my favorite of which was For a Moment of Your Love from Carnival in Flanders. What a gorgeous track.
