I made blueberry pancakes for breakfast this morning. I figured that would be a nice way to start a new year.

I didn’t get mine.

Watching The Fortune Cookie for the first time. Andre Previn’s score is variations on You’d Be So Nice to Come Home To.

It could be worse. It could be "Pop Goes the Weasel."

I’m not complaining. It’s Cole Porter. But Previn gets the credit.

The movie isn’t one of Billy Wilder’s best, but Walter Matthau is great.

Finessed tracks, futzed and finessed what I'd written for the new book, and wrote a couple of new pages.  I'll take a little break now and then write more.  I'd like to do at least five to ten more today so I'm really into it.

I had a nice dinner: cabbage, pork sausages, and mashed potatoes.  I'll have some chips and guacamole later.

We have a mostly sunny day here, with warmer temps than we've had. Feels like it's getting the new year off to a good start.

Let's hope that cabbage brings New Year's magic and moolah.

I just got in from an hour-long walk. The temperatures are in the 60s. The sun was out, but the standing water was heavy. No walking on the sidewalks, only on the edge of the street -- and even then.

I made an easy seafood stew with fish, shrimp and clams mixed in. And coleslaw on the side. Figured it would be a healthy way to start the year.

Did another page, then went to Gelson's, which, I'm happy to report, was quite empty.  I got two chicken tenders (baked - their fryer is on the fritz), a small rack of ribs, some mac-and-cheese, bagels and cream cheese and some tapioca pudding for a treat.

Good Afternoon!    The start of 2021 began with a Mass that I played for, which was lovely.  Then a trip to the grocery to get stuff for brunch tomorrow as well as the ingredients for my favorite crock pot sausage-tortilinni soup which I'm making on Sunday.  I also picked up a pork roast for this evenings dinner.  Now I have to figure out how to cook it.

I'm listening to "Carpenters with The Royal Philharmonic" on vinyl.  I've had the digital edition for a while and I went ahead and bought the vinyl basically for the liner notes, etc.  I'm not a fan of the new technology used to create new vinyl records.  First of all, they are so thick, you could use them as a hot plate and they probably wouldn't melt.  They just don't have the same warmth as old records do.  And do you know, it's impossible to find an old-fashioned record changer?  Remember how you could put a stack of records on the player and they'd play one after the other?  Can't find those anymore.  We are all so spoiled with being able to listen to an entire album digitally and not have to make any changes.  Usually, when a side of record is over, I'm in the middle of something and can't stop to turn it over. LOL.    First world issues....
