Monday evening greetings! Not sure where today has gone, but I did finish an audiobook while doing some organizing in my crafty corner. The book was I Was Told It Would Get Easier by Abbi Waxman, the December selection for my AAUW book group. The story was cute and timely, but I really disliked one of the dual narrators. She sounded about as much like a teenage girl as I do.

Bruce, is it also windy there? It is very windy here.

It's not very windy here but it's raining. The lights blinked a couple of times but the power hasn't gone out, yet.

There is an ambulance outside our building. I do not know, but can guess, which unit it is visiting.

Just came across a recipe on the Internet called "Chili Cheese Tater Tot Casserole," and wondering how I feel about that.

It left while I wasn't looking. I hope the neighbor didn't leave with it. He often doesn't.

I have an ancient translation of Zola novels on Kindle. I stopped reading them because everything was flat. Seems that everything was censored. Got a modern translation of L’Assommoir and it’s wonderful. Sex, violence and drinking.

Same is true of Balzac and Dumas/

Not really. I’ve read a lot of old translations of Balzac and a couple of Dumas. They were definitely expurgated, but the difference is that they were still entertaining to read, even when cut. The Zola novels, in this set of translations, are not entertaining. You know something is missing.

The best clam strips I ever had were at a snack bar at the Jersey Shore.

Is covid the reason for a shortage of rooms? Today my doctor said she is SO TIRED of hearing covid as an excuse. It is also why it might take a couple of weeks to find out if the tests she ordered will be pre-approved by my insurance company.
