Anyway.....yesterday my brother called me and said that a friend was moving and had given them a small curio cabinet.  They didn't have any room for it....did I want it?

So I walked down the street passed the house next to door to my brother's house.  The curio cabinet was about 4 1/2 feet high and in nice shape.  So I said yes. 

They brought it down to me and I rearranged a couple of things in the living room and there you are!  I put in my uncle's dolphin sculpture and on the top shelf put my busts of Caesar, Hericles, and Nefertiri....most interesting.  I shall take a picture later and share.

Oh and an armillary on top.

Story number two.

At about six o'clock after I mowed the back yard, I was sitting on the front porch.  A truck pulled into the driveway of the house next to mine where our friend Sherry lives.  It was her son Evan - who is an EMT for the township.  I waved to him.

He knocked on the door and there was no answer....so he was leaving and we talked for a moment.  He said his mom must be asleep, she hadn't responded to a text he sent.

So later  I was watching a tennis match....about 11:15 p.m.  I had my bedroom light on because I was also reading a book.  I turned off the light when I noticed red flashing lights on the hallway ceiling.  i went into Barnum's room.....an ambulance, a fire truck, and three police cars were in the street.

Evan had called my brother and his wife because they have a key to Sherry's house - next door neighbors and all - and they had discovered Sherry had passed away....

It was a shock.....a few of us were in the street talking.....they brought Sherry out, all covered up and put her in the ambulance...  ALL of the EMTs who know Evan were there in their uniforms.

Sherry has three children and I think 5 grandchildren.  She was a few years older than I....but not much.

That's too bad, DR John G.

Companies don't want their people to continue living the good life.

Two people on my team are out with covid. Makes me want to rush in.

So...

I was filling out Walgreen's vaccination form in advance, and came to the question "have I had close contact with someone within the past 14 days". How to reply, since the correct answer is yes, two days ago? I asked Nathan who has some medical assistant experience how I should respond. He said they want to know, because if I'm by any chance gearing up to come down with Covid and I get the shot right now, I'd very likely get even sicker from it. Yikes!

He then reminded me that, only four months from having had it, I still have antibodies -- which are very likely still doing me a world of good right about now -- and I decided to cancel, wait the two weeks, then get the booster.

Whew. So, never mind. Cancel that previous post.  :)

I like the movie, but that wouldn't have been my first choice. :-\

Re the frozen White Castles:

I've had them, and they certainly fill the bill when you have the craving and don't live near the real thing, but I found I wanted to "finesse" them to get past their inherent lacking. My method from several years ago:

Slit the cellophane and microwave a pair (or two pairs) for [whatever number of] seconds, then turn them over and give them another zap. I don't remember if they tell you to turn them over. If not, use less time prescribed on each side so you don't totally nuke them. But the turning, at least in my microwave, gave a more even warmth and prevented any cold spots from remaining.

Remove and add a sandwich- or burger-type slice of thin (dill, I think) pickle to each. Now give just a tiny squirt of mustard or ketchup or both, depending on yer preferences, and get them up to your mouth while they're still hot.

What I don't recall from years ago is how they were served if you didn't specify mustard or ketchup. I think it used to be different in different regions. Because of the moistness, I can enjoy them without, or with a little something. It doesn't matter, they're going to slide down just as quickly and easily either way.

I checked. It's a 4K / Blu-ray combo, and they've been listing these at their current Blu-ray price.
