Porch vibes for Ginny.

So far, so good, DR John G!

To be accurate, we’re replacing the porch with a patio and steps. Today they’re leveling the area and they’ve outlined the footprint.

I loved many of the mini-series already mentioned, especially I, Claudius, Lonesome Dove and War & Peace with a wonderful Anthony Hopkins performance.

I will add a few foreign favorites:

Scenes from a Marriage
Berlin Alexanderplatz
Heimat
Dekalog

Well, four hours of sleep and there's a damn big concrete machine churning away outside with men trying to talk over that awful sound, thanks to Grant redoing the driveway next door - he's been very bad during this, not keeping anyone informed of anything and that's a big problem today because the big machine is blocking MY driveway and there'll be no going anywhere until it's gone, which is truly irritating.

Welcome to our world, BK! Between our projects and the city’s, we’ve had stuff like that going on for 6 weeks now.

And right now we have no running water…

I have two miniseries on hold at the library, Mare of Easttown and I Know this Much Is True, based on a book I loved.

I have three of those (not HEIMAT) but to date I've only ever seen SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE. Especially looking forward to being up for DEKALOG when the time is right. I bought it sight unseen.

Went down the driveway and talked with them, and they apologized for lack of warning. (Uh, thanks.) But they were almost done with the whole damn thing, and in fact, the generator just went off so I know we've got power. The trucks will be out of here in a little while.

You’re in for a real treat. Dekalog is powerful.

TCB, the person in a dress you mentioned is Carl Clemons-Hopkins, a non-binary actor in Hacks.

Grant tells me they'll be gone within the hour. We shall see.

TOD, in no particular order--

THE STAND
LONESOME DOVE
JOHN ADAMS
MILDRED PIERCE
CHERNOBYL
THE TERROR
FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON
THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS
HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY

I remember having THE WINDS OF WAR, WAR AND REMEMBRANCE, and SHOGUN (and maybe THORN BIRDS) on when they aired, and not paying too close attention to them -- in fact, I might not even have stuck with them all the way through -- but I would appreciate seeing them now.

I suggest you read THE WINDS OF WAR and WAR AND REMEMBRANCE instead of watching them.

I would question how informed he is to begin with.

I am home from my errands. The UN is in session, and traffic on the East Side is a mess. It took forever to hail a cab. Next injection: December 6.

Well....my sister in law passed away at 2:15 p.m. Two of my sisters are at my brother's house....along with her son and a friend.

My brother said don't come over right now.....it's okay....

So we shall see what the next few days bring.

Richard’s test was NOT negative and I totally blame the church. I’m scheduled for a test on Wednesday.

But we have running water, so that’s something.

DR Ginny, have him take another one. Last week a friend of Rob Berman's tested positive after having lunch with Rob. The next day he had a second test and it was negative.

DR Elmore, Richard had and has symptoms that remove any reason to doubt the validity of this morning’s test.
