They have streamed a production of Rusalka, but I don’t remember who was in it.

[John G.]

Two!

[John G.]

I don’t want to work. I want to lay in the sun all day.

Sadly, it’s 30 degrees here. And cloudy.

Battery replacement but it was under warranty so no charge....except my two hour wait.

Of course at first they couldn't find the receipt in the their system....I was a bit surprised....and said this and that.....and the man said "We're responsible because YOU lost YOUR receipt?"

I just said ....  no.   And sat down to wait trying to think of all the other shops in town where I could take my car next time.

And then about half an hour later - he brought me a copy of my receipt which he had found "in the system."

I just said "thanks."

Good Morning!   I've been E&T the last few days as I came down with some sort of stomach issue early Sunday morning.  I spent most of Sunday on the couch with the boys, and most of yesterday as well.  Today, I'm back to normal.  All is well.  I have some apartment stuff to do today, and I hope to get on my bike at some point today as well and take a little ride.  The weather is crisp today, perfect time to bundle up and get out. 

[Matthew]

DR Jane - for the manhattans I made the other night, I used Bullet Bourbon and dry vermouth, I know you are suppose to use sweet, but that's what I had on hand, bitters and cherries - from Trader Joes, they are great.   I have rye as well, but I chose Bullet for these. 

[Jane]

DR George I am glad your mother's story ended well yesterday.

[Jane]

Ugh. Car vibes for JRAND.

Ditto!

Jane, I do qualify for phase 1B, but I don’t think I’ll get the vaccine until I get back to Texas. 1A is for emergency workers and the elderly.

This is also different than the news report I read.  Phase 1b is not before first responders.  They just dropped the age to begin at 65.  Instead of being in 1c I would be in 1b.  You remain in the same phase as with the CDC.

When are you returning home?

[Jane]

I think the Texas website is better than our Washington one, plus ours only explains phase 1a and doesn't go beyond it.  I am just going by the CDC recommendation which puts me in 1c and am guessing it will be the same here.

Sounds like he was having a bad day.  I hope you find a friendlier place next time.  At least it was free but what a long wait.

[Jane]

DR Matthew I am glad you are feeling better.

Thanks for the description.  I don't think I like a dry vermouth in anything.

Sweet Vermouth is now on my shopping list!

Good afternoon!

[George]

DR George, your mother was really lucky yesterday.  I'm happy the thief was caught.

Thanks, Larry!  I think everyone was happy at that!

[George]

Glad that DR George's DM enjoyed good fortune.

Thanks, Singdaw!

Cats have superpowers, you know.

But of course!

Don't you hate it when that happens??

Good news about the no charge, but what a rude comment about the receipt!  I've been fortunate to have never had this problem where I take my car.  Other than the dealer, it's the only place that I've ever taken it, so they have the complete record for almost all of its life.

[George]

DR George I am glad your mother's story ended well yesterday.

Thanks, Jane!

I've paid my bills, which I will mail tomorrow on my way to my doctor's appointment.

[Ginny]

Tuesday afternoon greetings!  I woke up at 4:30 this morning and after tossing and turning and, maybe, dozing a bit, finally got up at 5:45.  Needless to say, Richard found me asleep in my recliner when he got up and still asleep when he returned from his walk.

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.

Sweet Vermouth is now on my shopping list!

We usually ask for Bullet rye.  Antica is a good staple.  Do you have a preference? 

We have had especially delicious rye Manhattans made with Cocchi and Cinzano Rosso though we never experimented with them at home.

Thanks for the Met Opera streams information, DR ChasSmith.

Wouldn't that make a great song title?

I prefer something smooth, like Bullet either bourbon or rye - Makers is good as well, but that's whisky.  Someone gave me a bottle of Knob Creek for Christmas -99 proof.  Last time I had Knob Creek it ended up in the sink, to oak-y for me.  I'm willing to give it another try, of course.  I actually have some Rosso vermouth, I'll have to try that next time.
