I am quite stuffed from lunch. Yes, it's the first time Bruce and I have seen each other since Covid started -- and also my first meal out. We ate at Louise's, a nice Italian bistro that, fortunately, hasn't changed. They did put two small tables on the sidewalk and we sat at one of them. The sun kept peeking between the clouds and warmed us up. Lunch was good and Bruce is never at a loss for conversation about movies.

John G, sorry to hear about your mother's fall, but glad the break was her arm and not her shoulder and that she's home already.

Vibes for a smooth and speedy recovery.

We have a Shell station here in Johnston.  Not the only gas station, no.  We have five or six, but I have used Shell for years.  Thing is, I went there a week and half ago to fill up my car and they were OUT of Regular.  They said they were expecting a delivery any day.

I drove by this morning and now they are out of ALL gas.   Still open, of course, but none of the pumps are functional.  I called and they said they are STILL awaiting a delivery.

I filled up at a BP station. 

Oh, my goodness!

Re the West Side Story sequel, called Maria - it sounds like an absolutely bogus PR grab by two nobodies who either work for or with the Long Wharf Theater or not. Never heard of either, and they haven't even started writing it - why on Earth would the estate of Arthur Laurents even consider such a dopey thing. My guess is they haven't and wouldn't and we'll never hear another peep about it..

I was thinking it would be about Anybodys and the journey to transhood.

That, at least, could be an interesting take.

[Jeanne]

I'm glad you were able to see the acupuncturist and hope he can clear up the problem. Your comments the other evening about waiting two hours to see the doctor and then she didn't have much to say -- well, that just echos so many of my experiences. Acupuncture can help with so many things -- it's truly holistic -- and a good choice, I think.

Or she ges to prison for participating in the killing of Bernardo and comes out a tough hardboiled dyke. Then she ends up running a lesbian bar and she ends up with Maria in the Village. They participate in the Stonewall riot.

Hello, everyone.

Hi Jeanne.  Where did you have lunch?

[ChasSmith]

Back from my running around and ready for a quiet and relaxing evening, may it please the gods.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is how the End begins.  Quietly.  In a typical small town in America, where one would least expect it.

DR John G. - sorry to hear about your Mom. Sounds like it is turning out better than it could have. But still worrisome.

[ChasSmith]

Lunch at Louise's sounds wonderful!

[ChasSmith]

My neighbor sent over last night a big container of her inedible chicken soup. About an hour later she called and told me to look out for any bones. Luckily, I had thew sausage roll from Ann and Jen for dinner, but now I'm trying to decide how to throw this soup out. I 'd throw it down the toilet if I knew there were no bones, and I really do not want to go on an archeological dig into it.

The soup was considered inedible before the warning about bones? I take it you've had this one before? 

[Jrand74]

Car vibes for MR BK.

[Jrand74]

vibes for the mother of DR JOHN G.

[Jrand74]

Train off the track.  My aunt is coming tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.

Then everyone else should fall in line ....  We shall see.

[Jrand74]

DR JANE if someone wants something on the appraisal list, they can pay the amount [everything is priced very low] - if it's not on the list South America Take It Away.

I imagine there will be plenty of stuff.  After the eight of us, there are only two more - and three girls who I doubt will even stop by....

[Jrand74]

We shall see.

Sadly, yes.

We are back from our partially successful errands.  We went to Verizon first to see about a new phone for Richard.  A very goofy young man eventually told me, “That’s not the way the world works,” and I wanted to smack him.  We’ve decided, since we know we want an iPhone, we’ll go to the Apple Store, but not before Christmas.

[Ginny]

Our trip to Barnes and Noble was much more fruitful and I now have some more wrapping to do this evening.

[Ginny]

TOD - Our plans for Christmas weekend involve Charlotte and that’s all I need to know.  We’ll be home for New Year’s, watching the college football playoff semifinals on Friday.  Go, Blue!  Go, Bearcats!

[John G.]

In a day of many ups and downs comes news that Mom has suffered another fall in her room. This one wasn’t as bad, but it’s still troubling.

[singdaw]

Oh gosh. Sorry, DR John G.  That doesn't sound good.

Yikes!!

[George]

On the happy news front, my copy of the new 50th anniversary 3-CD release of the Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack has arrived!

[John G.]

Onward!
