Anyone have a good Christmas punch recipe? Can be with or without alcohol, but bear in mind, for those who want it, it will eventually have alcohol in it.

[John G.]

Three!

The Access-a-Ride arrived at exactly 10:30, and I arrived at the CVS by 10:40. I was boostered as soon as I got there, not at my appointment time of 11:30. I called AccesspapRide to see if I could get an earlier ride back, rather than wait another hour, and they had nothing available, so I cancelled the ride and took a taxi home. I was home by 11:15.

Yay!  We're having our boosters on Thursday.

I am actually surprised you aren't waiting longer after having covid.  I haven't read anything one way or another and had been wondering if Bryan should get a booster.  How did you base your decision to do this?

We followed our instincts, DR Jane, and the advice of the pharmacist who gave Richard his flu shot.

I shall now be on my way to the theater.

Hello, everyone.

[Jeanne]

Hectic day here. Once again AT&T rerouted my phone call to their own people. This time, however, it took considerably longer to go through the rigamarole to undo the rerouting instructions.

How does AT&T -- or anyone -- justify this sort of treatment to their customers? I can't imagine any customer being anything other than outraged. Do they really think this would motivate someone to buy a phone from them??

[Jeanne]

Car vibes to DR George! Your new car looks great and the color is lovely, couldn't be any nicer. I hope all goes well and it gives you many, many years of good service.

[Jeanne]

Mega roof vibes to DR Laura. I hope that the next repair takes care of it once and for all. You really should not have to go through it. (Which is stating the obvious.)

Thanks.

DR Elmore, does Access-a-Ride have any explanation for their repeated failures?

Sorry you had yet another bad experience with them.

[Jeanne]

This was supposed to be a vacation week. It ended up being canceled, for a few reasons.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you're able to do it soon.

[Jeanne]

I’m pleased to note that the plagiarism claim is being taken very seriously, and I have actually been thanked for pointing it out and offering a workable solution that won’t have a great impact. They understand that work lies ahead, but they’re willing to address it. You never know with other departments.

It good to hear that the Powers That Be in your work world care about doing what is right. And clever you for finding a good solution.

DR Elmore and other cat lovers:

I was at Trader Joe's today and they had advent calendars for cats! Little cat treats inside! There's a version for dogs, too. They looked very cute!

[Jeanne]

Vibes to all.

TTFN.

[singdaw]

Good night, friends.

[Jane]

'night

Nice.

[George]

A simple, but cute, costume idea:

That's really cute!

[George]

Access-a-Ride never showed up. I had to reschedule my lab work to tomorrow. I hope they show up for my ride for the booster at 10:30.

How rude!

[John G.]

Hi, George.

[John G.]

Listening to David Sedaris and Tracy Ullmann read his latest volume of diaries, A Carnival of Snackery. Really funny. Can't reprint much of it. But I am laughing.

[John G.]

I wish I had more to post.

[John G.]

But work was hard.

[John G.]

Dance involved a hard two-step step.

[John G.]

And now I'm ready for bed.

[John G.]

But I would like to get onto page four soon.

[John G.]

It's coming soon.

[John G.]

I promise.
