Tramodol isn't really an opioid; it's a synthetic. At least that's my understanding. I don't find it does a thing by itself, so I take Advil with it. Then it helps.

So, that’s why they told me to take both. Thanks, Laura.

I was just watching J.K. Simmons yesterday in the movie The Accountant. He's just simply great.

I am both relieved and disappointed:  We have rescheduled our Sunday brunch until next Sunday.

It simply isn't worth the possible danger of driving to brunch on roads that are not being treated for ice.  We don't get sufficient wintry precipitation to merit road salt or whatever they use nowadays. Here, we just wait for the ice to melt.

Once again, I find myself solo on this here site with no one, not even a lurking guest, to address.

Ah, me.

The last time I went to brunch was on my birthday in 2015!!  I was taken to Brenda's French Soul Food, a wonderful little place that was very popular.  This is what I had:  Eggs Benedict with Fried Chicken and a bowl of Grits.

I think J.K. Simmons first made an impression on me in The Ref, though I knew his name a voice from Guys and Dolls and Birds of Paradise.

I am flattered to be included in DR CHAS SMITH's dream - but the rumors of my shortness have been greatly exaggerated.

It is 19 degrees now and temps are expected to reach 34 degrees later today.

Which is fine with me.

Just watched the Signature tribute to Sondheim.

I've now had my six-month quota of out-of-tune singing and straining for notes, thank you very much.

It's a brutally ugly day here in Johnston SC.

We haven't had any snow, but I can hear the freezing rain as it hits against the window.

There isn't any accumulation.  It's just at 33 degrees with a wind chill of 21 degrees.

Advisories beg us all to stay in today if at all possible.

Today
Now I'm so used to being home, it doesn't mean a thing.

Sad, I am sure you miss the days it was annoying.

Watching Reich and Sondheim from Lincoln Center. Not as fond of Reich's music as I am of Sondheim's, but the talk is great. So is Kate Baldwin.

However, we had 25,000 cases of covid reported yesterday. I don't see how packing a lot of people together can possibly be a good thing.

I would think not.

I watched for this news before asking.  I know you were looking forward to it.  May everyone stay healthy throughout the week.

It's a beautiful day here. I took a long walk, then I moseyed over to the church where the marathon people were packing up their stuff.

This surprised me, because I know we did not grant permission for them to set up on our property. I texted the steward chair, and she said we did not.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  Another quiet day here.  We might get grazed by the big winter storm, but it’s not anything we’re worried about.

So, though they didn't have permission, did they move, Laura?

So, is this the version of Anything Goes that's going to be in theaters in March?

Sigh.  I think you should send the marathon people a bill.
