Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

It is 65 degrees.  I think I will sit on my front porch and watch for airplanes.

Are you on a flight path?

Minnesota is opening up the vaccine criteria tomorrow to the point where I'd be eligible. Finding an appointment will be a challenge, I'm sure.

Super vibes you find an appointment!

Add me to the sleepless list. I ate something last night that didn't agree with me and it took several hours for my tummy to settle down. I didn't get to bed until 1:00, then woke up at 6:30. Ugh! I'm pretty wasted today.

Have you ever tried Glycine to help sleep?  My eye doctor recommended it.

We have had a lovely day.  People were very friendly and I did a bit too much talking and not enough walking.

Go to flightradar24.com and watch the planes. I like to see where they are going.

I should really go back out for a short after dinner walk.  Increasing my walking has greatly reduced the pain in my stomach and from GERD.  Still, when I have my yearly check-up on Friday we will be discussing my concerns.

As I was about to get up from my desk and go for a walk I heard an unexpected sound outside.  To my great surprise it is pouring out there.

THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER and ENCHANTED APRIL are among my favorites. But also a British show, RECKLESS (the one starring Robson Green and Francesca Annis), a very quirky romance.

I loved Reckless. The great Michael Kitchen was in Enchanted April and Reckless, as well as Foyle.

Watching a documentary called Tabloid from Errol Morris. Very funny and weird.

Roger Mudd has died at 93. I always liked him. He appeared to be serious, focused and honest. Yet he also came across as very relaxed, very comfortable in himself in those moments when it wasn't entirely about the work.

Wow...93 years old.  That was quite a run.

I am suggesting Reckless to Keith.  Maybe we will watch it.

Your list, Vixmom, reminded me of a favorite that I somehow left off my lists:

Four Weddings and a Funeral

I've been in Indiegogoland for hours, doing perks and setting everything up so we can hopefully launch in the morning. Some really good perks - you'll want to get there early :)

Just saw the DGA list of the five best directors - the director of The Father is NOT up. I see no reason to vote, really.

How early, BK? Like during my sleep break, which is usually 3 a.m. my time or 1 a.m. your time.
