Well, today is not only the birthdays of former DRs PennyO and Dan (the Man), it's also the birthday of my friend Margo!

And my best girlfriend, Susan, since 9th grade. When I met Penny in 10th grade it was easy to remember her birthday.

Happy Birthday to Susan!

I wished her a happy birthday on Facebook, and I sent her a text. Hopefully, I'll actually be able to chat with her on the phone, or even in person.

Happy birthday to Margo. I haven't reached my friend Susan yet. I did send her an email.

Thanks, Jane!

My sister just texted me, asking if I would go shopping with her so that she could get ingredients for Nuts & Bolts (aka the original homemade Chex Mix), and fudge...but she's not making Nuts & Bolts Fudge. That would just be too weird.

Thunderstorms are hovering over the city. And I went out shopping in them.

No thunderstorms, but it's raining here in Tumwater.

Headlamps are whole again, thankfully (and thankfully, that's not too difficult on this car).

And though it seems like I just got up and it should be - oh, maybe only about ten in the morning? - it's 2 pm and I have but three hours before getting ready to go. I believe someone stole half a day from me.

Whew!!

I had a very good phone conversation with the project's chief funder, and all seems good. This is a relief.

Great news, Larry!!

We are only 30 mi from home, plus the time it takes to stock up on essentials at the market.

Welcome home, Jane!

Here's a feel-good story that a friend just sent to me:

Arizona grandmother tried to return Nintendo Switches mistakenly delivered to her. Now Target is gifting them back as thanks.

Arizona grandmas have been in the news lately.

This Arizona grandma had to stop because her back is aching.

One year, I'll make it to the Sydney Opera House. Until then, there is this spritely version of Handel's Messiah filmed there.

There's a countertenor instead of an alto.

I'm being incredibly lazy. Mostly stars, candy canes, and snowflakes. They are the quickest to do.

I wouldn't call that lazy

And the word of the day is: VOLANT!

Didn’t Robert Wagner play Prince VOLANT back in the 50’s? That wig made him look so nelly. Come to think of it, maybe……..

Twenty years ago, or so, Rob and I took Richard’s mother to a Messiah performance where they did that and she DID NOT APPROVE. When it was over, she wouldn’t even clap. I was so embarrassed by her behavior I drove her home in silence.

The next day she was ranting to her musician eldest son. He told her there was probably some historic validity to that choice, but she still wasn’t convinced.

Have I mentioned my mother-in-law was a force of nature?
