I'm the type who normally would go for a steak, too, but when I read DR Ron's post about the thick and beautifully fried pork chops, I immediately wanted to have a thick and beautifully fried pork chop.

I grew up having pork chops for dinner occasionally at home, and I think I made one or two attempts at cooking one in my earlier years of living on my own. I liked those at home okay, but they weren't anything special, and my own was probably an overcooked dried out disaster. I haven't even thought about doing it (or even grilling some) in years, nor have I ordered one anywhere.

Hmm. What to do, what to do? Oh well. The next time I pass through Johnston, SC...

Down at the river, watching boats and life speed by.

You've heard of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)? Well, now there's JOMO. Much more up my alley.

Well, I received an e-mail this morning from someone who missed out on a perky perk they really wanted, so we did the deal outside of Indiegogo and it brought us up to exactly - drum roll - 150%! So, we did get there after all.

I picked up some herbs yesterday from my old Chinese acupuncturist. She told me that lots of people are cancelling their appointments because they're sick with Covid. But it's relatively mild, she added. I watch the numbers on it, but it's the first I've heard of any real cases in my area.

Britbox brought back an old series that I wasn't familiar with: THE VICE. It stars Ken Stott, who I've liked in everything I've seen him in. I watched it last night and thought it was quite good.

Congrats go, too, to Jrand for his successful production. It seems like it just flew by.

I have dragged myself out of bed to feed the cats. They're having salmon, shrimp, and seafood, courtesy of Fancy Feast.

I slept a bit, and Thatch and I watched the BBC DVD of Silas Marner starring Ben Kingsley and Patsy Kensit. I read the book sixty years ago, and I've never seen a video or film version, but I cried like a baby, justy as I had around 1962.

Back from an omelet and teeny-tiny side salad of the Caesar kind, the mail place (nothing), and then killing time at the nearby mall.

Doing a two o'clock Zoom to fix a script problem in the screenplay - just requires adjusting a handful of thing, timeline-wise.

I think that (Silas Marner), To Kill A Mockingbird, and Gone With the Wind are the only books I remember reading in my teens that reduced me to tears.

I see that Caroline Catz is also in it.
