Sunday evening greetings! Do you remember what you did 40 years ago today?

Richard and I got married!

Yesterday or today?

Today, DR Jane. The 17th was the first Saturday in 1981 that the church would not smell like chicken soup from the Twelfth Night feast.

Thank you for posting that beautiful greeting!

That's funny.

You are welcome.

I went for a walk and ending up doing part of it with a neighbor I like. I do wish though that her mask didn't keep falling down-lol. We did keep our distance.

HAPPIEST OF ANNIVERSARY WISHES TO DR Ginny and DH Richard!

Checked out a book from the library yesterday called Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin. She was Benjamin Franklin's sister and apparently a wit in her own right. I'd never heard of her before.

I have a couple of books to finish first, Private Life by Jane Smiley and Written in the Stars.

The latter is a lesbian Pride & Prejudice with one of the women named Darcy and the other Elle. Despite the twee naming, the beginning is fairly interesting. It's not pure romance novel.

We are not in the home stretch.

John G. · « **Reply #67 on:** January 17, 2021, 07:35:15 PM »

At least not in terms of pages posted after the delayed start of the day.

I just learned from Wikipedia that Jane Smiley has written eight YA novels about horses. I wonder if they are any good.

John G. · « **Reply #69 on:** January 17, 2021, 08:02:40 PM »

I'm just a little on edge waiting for the next three days to pass.

The new video from the New Yorker doesn't help matters any, except to show how culpable Cruz and Hawley were in all of this.

The stupidity on display is scarier when I remember that these folks were armed.

John G. · « **Reply #72 on:** January 17, 2021, 08:04:15 PM »

Armed and Stupid. The title of my fourth novel.

John G. · « **Reply #73 on:** January 17, 2021, 08:05:14 PM »

Now, when am I going to write the first three?

John G. · « **Reply #74 on:** January 17, 2021, 08:06:55 PM »

I certainly can't do it as quickly as BK or Anthony Trollope, who was more of a word processor than Stephen King. Trollope would wake every morning at 5:30 a.m. and write until 8:30, when he left for work. He wrote the same number of words every day, and the stories always seemed to keep coming, because the novels (more than 40) did.

That's terrible.

George · « **Reply #78 on:** January 17, 2021, 10:15:56 PM »

Of course, they're all stupid enough to not only not wear masks, but they video recorded themselves AND posted them on the interwebs!

I gotta tell you.

Let's at least get to page five.

I've done twelve pages so far. I got stuck rewriting the same three pages about twenty times, but I think I finally got them right. I knew this part would go slowly because I really am in the last fifteen or twenty pages now.

I just spent most of the day reading. It was a luxury.
