Even if the quality varies, the martinis are always dry.

Got the all-clear from the oral surgeon, so I’m celebrating with popcorn.

YAY!

Be careful not to break another tooth on the popcorn.

Access-a-Ride was 10 minutes early, the radiation treatment was early, and after I saw Dr Blacksburg, it was not yet 1:00. I took a taxi to my pharmacy, picked up four prescriptions, and I am home.

Not a bad day. So far.

It occurred to Pooh and Piglet that they hadn't heard from Eeyore for several days, so they put on their hats and coats and trotted across the Hundred Acre Wood to Eeyore's stick house. Inside the house was Eeyore.

"Hello Eeyore," said Pooh.

"Hello Pooh. Hello Piglet," said Eeyore, in a Glum Sounding Voice.

"We just thought we'd check in on you," said Piglet, "because we hadn't heard from you, and so we wanted to know if you were okay."

Eeyore was silent for a moment. "Am I okay?" he asked, eventually. "Well, I don't know, to be honest. Are any of us really okay? That's what I ask myself. All I can tell you, Pooh and Piglet, is that right now I feel really rather Sad, and Alone, and Not Much Fun To Be Around At All. Which is why I haven't bothered you. Because you wouldn't want to waste your time hanging out with someone who is Sad, and Alone, and Not Much Fun To Be Around At All, would you now."

Pooh looked at Piglet, and Piglet looked at Pooh, and they both sat down, one on either side of Eeyore in his stick house.

Eeyore looked at them in surprise. "What are you doing?"

"We're sitting here with you," said Pooh, "because we are your friends. And true friends don't care if someone is feeling Sad, or Alone, or Not Much Fun To Be Around At All. True friends are there for you anyway. And so here we are."

"Oh," said Eeyore. "Oh." And the three of them sat there in silence, and while Pooh and Piglet said nothing at all; somehow, almost imperceptibly, Eeyore started to feel a very tiny little bit better.

Because Pooh and Piglet were There.

No more; no less.

I’m ushering for Neil deGrasse Tyson tonight. Should be fun. I hope we have a better crowd than we had last night.

Hi, KevinH. Did you get the new remastered recording of i Can Get It for You Wholesale?

Jeanne, the library had the book you mentioned under the title Safe Passage. A reservation has been placed.

It’s in the upper 70s now. We may have sleet tomorrow.

I'm up, I'm up - ten hours of sleep - uninterrupted.

Thank you for that respite, DR Ron Pulliam. And quite timely, as A.A. Milne's birthday was just yesterday.

I think a morning bun is beyond me, but those do look yummy.

I hope bk's screenplay sells and makes him a heap o' money.

I finally figured out how to play. How? A local news station has a weekly "tech" report pointing out neat things on the internet. They actually played a game online. I didn't quite get that I was doing separate words seeking a final solution. Don't know why, but I have enjoyed playing the past week.
