Well, no one can say we didn't get to page four.

Good night, friends.

Oh a whim, I decided to go see the Betty White Birthday memorial special at the movies.

I first wanted to go out just to get out of the house, so I went to Taco Bell.

George · « **Reply #94 on:** January 17, 2022, 06:53:53 PM »

I brought my Kindle and read a couple of chapters of my book while eating in the Taco Bell.

Then, I decided to see when the Betty White special was playing, and one showing was going to be in 20 minutes, so I came to the theater, bought my ticket, and now I'm sitting here waiting for it to start.

They're showing Betty White trivia screens now, before the movie starts.

Until later!

Sounds like fun, George. I'd like a fuller report later.

Gratuitous post No. 99!

I had a dance lesson at 3 p.m. today. When I got to the studio, I ran into a friend whom I hadn't seen since his wife died in 2019.

Turns out Jim caught covid and was hospitalized for five months. This was about 18 months ago. He said this first 12 days in the ICU are a complete blank to him. It was only after that, when he started to get better, that he can remember what happened.

John G. · « **Reply #102 on:** January 17, 2022, 07:47:57 PM »

Turns out that he was laid up for so long that he couldn't remember how to walk easily when he was finally able to get on his feet.

John G. · « **Reply #103 on:** January 17, 2022, 07:48:18 PM »

So, now he has a trainer helping him regain his strength and some lung power.

John G. · « **Reply #104 on:** January 17, 2022, 07:49:36 PM »

And he's been using my teacher, Jack, to learn how to regain his balance. Jim had been a dance student for years, which is where we met. His wife was one of Jack's students.

John G. · « **Reply #105 on:** January 17, 2022, 07:50:03 PM »

Very nice to see him again. I hope that he's able to regain more of his health.

I finished reading Elena Ferrante's The Lost Daughter today. I loved the book, which makes me nervous about the film version. I know BK was not a fan. I'm curious, but seeing it isn't a necessity for me.

John G. · « **Reply #107 on:** January 17, 2022, 07:54:30 PM »

The book shared many themes that were in Ferrante's Neapolitan novels, though this was much shorter. And I liked the unapologetic depiction of the leading character, warts and all, for being true to herself. Granted, the novel was in first person, so she was able to explain her actions, sometimes despite a lack of reason behind them.

Whither all this evening?

John G. · « **Reply #110 on:** January 17, 2022, 08:21:57 PM »

I am beginning to fade.

John G. · « **Reply #111 on:** January 17, 2022, 08:22:11 PM »

I won't be able to push us to page five.

John G. · « **Reply #112 on:** January 17, 2022, 08:22:20 PM »

Good night, all.

Monday is over.

Tuesday is upon me here in SC.

My day of holiday indolence was a major success, if I say so myself.

I cooked myself a pot of pinto beans.

I baked myself a pan of corn bread.

I dined upon both southern delights.

That was lunch. I was very happy with it.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #115 on:** January 17, 2022, 09:05:39 PM »

I have new plans to attend a brunch next Sunday at Christine's Farm to Fork.

Am looking forward to it, weather permitting!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #116 on:** January 17, 2022, 09:06:11 PM »

I see 6 guests are lurking.

Whatever can that mean?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #117 on:** January 17, 2022, 09:06:34 PM »

My day has ended and dreamland beckons.

Ta-ta.

George · « **Reply #118 on:** January 17, 2022, 10:15:51 PM »

I'm back.

George · « **Reply #119 on:** January 17, 2022, 10:16:32 PM »

But first...
