Isn't there also something about eating something green, for prosperity in the new year?

singdaw · « **Reply #181 on:** December 31, 2020, 07:43:00 PM »

Well, no one can say we didn't reach page 7.

singdaw · « **Reply #182 on:** December 31, 2020, 07:43:16 PM »

Well, they could. But they'd be wrong.

That dog don't hunt.

It's all insane, DR singdaw.

I really thought the USPS madness would wind itself down by Christmas. Apparently it was just the luck of the draw that everything we were expecting actually got here by then, including my couple of eBay media mail packages that had been in limbo for a couple of weeks.

But it seems like it's not gotten any better at all in the past week. I'm now seeing the same nonsense you describe, and I already have two newer packages with tracking that makes no sense whatever.

Hmm. I don't know, but I also have a can of collard greens I could open up...

Sylvia's brand, both of these. Sylvia's is the great soul food restaurant in Harlem that I've heard people rave about for years.

Sounds good!

I think I shall descend momentarily and see what actually arrived today.

I'm here for some partying!

I'm here for some merriment and mirth and laughter and legs.

Still listening to this Kienzl opera - it's long.

Page seven? Really?

singdaw · « **Reply #195 on:** December 31, 2020, 07:58:10 PM »

Well, the Korngold opera from bk's Entartete series arrived, at least.

singdaw · « **Reply #196 on:** December 31, 2020, 07:58:52 PM »

It seems to have 3 versions, but I got the one with the libretto enclosed.

Vibes for TCB!

Paul Krugman has an article in the NYTimes that's both realistic, I think, and upbeat. I suspect a lot of people could use a little upbeat about now.

Odd question, but does anyone have a microwave popcorn popper that they recommend?

I'll say! Thanks, DR Jeanne.

I started watching A BEAUTIFUL BOY on Acorn TV. It's a sort of coming-of-age story about a young woman in 1950s India, whose parents are trying to marry her off--pronto! It's well done and interesting.

Not I. Sorry. But I'm suspect that there are lots of reviews on Amazon.

Less than an hour to the East Coast New Year.

I think I'll shave.

bk · « **Reply #208 on:** December 31, 2020, 08:06:30 PM »

Why not?
