Today's biggest remaining task is to finish up a book called Book of Ages, a biography of Benjamin Franklin's sister Jane. It's been a rather interesting effort, but there is so little information on Jane that the appeal lies in information about the times of her life.

Then I can pay attention to The Mother's Recompense, the latest Edith Wharton I've been enjoying.

Singdaw, in that video of pianist Leonardo Colafelice, he's seen in a kitchen helping with Christmas dinner. I think I found a recipe for that amazing looking bread.

Just what I need: bread.

Hey, I hit a milestone.

Today was an acupuncture day. I then picked up delicious vegan fettuccine alfredo at Julie's.

Yes, we had some rain. Heavy rain was predicted, but what we got here in my 'hood was just a normal rain. Much better. We need the rain, but we don't need flooding.

Hi, John G. Happy milestone.

Health vibes all around.

I can't believe January is almost over. What happened?

Weekend vibes to all.

TTFN.

Normal rain is the best kind

Well, I'm off to my mom's for some Phase 10 playing.

Be back later.

Thanks, DR John G. I ~~think~~ know I could eat that entire thing.

Congratulations on your milestone, by the way.

I can barely type the word "by" without thinking of former DR Mikey Barnum, who once worked at BiMart.

I just attended virtual Shabbat services at a Chicago synagogue. Some of the musical settings featured a person playing what I learned is an EVI, or electronic valve instrument. You blow into it, I think, and then work the valves to play the various notes. It sounded variously like a cello, a clarinet, and various other things. I don't know if it was different devices to mimic the different instruments, or if the sound is altered electronically. It was kind of intriguing.

One advantage of attending online, you can choose interesting services to attend.

We ordered several items from Amazon. Of course the one item that has been delayed is the only item that was wanted right away

Good night, everyone.

Goodnight

Watching Richard Attenborough in Brighton Rock. Not as good as the Graham Greene novel, but Attenborough is creepy and menacing and very effective.

Finished with my viewing, have proofed over fifty pages and am more than halfway through now.

Did a quick Gelson's run and they had some caffeine free Diet Coke so I got two twelve packs of that.

Now listening to Britten's Gloriana, which is enjoyable.

John G. · « **Reply #88 on:** January 29, 2021, 08:40:05 PM »

I still need to dig that Gloriana recording out. Paul Bunyan, too.

John G. · « **Reply #89 on:** January 29, 2021, 08:40:15 PM »

But it can wait until tomorrow.
