Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a close call, and now it is time for you to post until the close call cows come home.

NICK NOLTE!! ;D I've been trying to think of his name for MONTHS!  What happened is I came a cross this picture from a 1970s clothes catalog, and one of the models looked like an actor I recognized but I just couldn't remember his name...and the instant I read the name in BK's notes, I remembered that Nick Nolte was the name I was trying to remember.  FINALLY, I can stop thinking about what his name might be.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Now, I don't know if the model actually was Nick Nolte.  He just really looked like a young version of him.

I had a pretty good night of sleep. I have two cats with me most of hte night. Annabelle is sleeping close to me for warmth - around 2:00, when the apartment finally chills out after the heat has been turned off around 11:00 - and Thatch has decided he likes the kitty quilt and vixmom blanket combo at the foot of my bed. Stella cuddled for a while, but she didn't stay long.

Amazon Fresh is making a Thanksgiving delivery of things I wanted in the previous delivery on Monday that were out of stock. I think for tomorrow I will cook a nice dinner of mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, chicken, and some veggies. If I start feeling lazy, I'll order a turkey dinner from Viand Cafe at 75th and Broadway.

I have been searching for, but have not yet found, any reports on the premiere of Kevin Puts's The Hours at the Metropolitan Opera last night.

It was so nice to see DR TCB in last night's posts. I'm hoping his carpel tunnel surgery goes well.

Outside of that Amazon Fresh delivery and the cleanup, I have little plans beyond peeling potatoes and cooking. With all the travel news, I'm so happy I'm staying home.

We have a new policy at the office. You must be in the office for three days a week. Holidays and days off don’t count. If you go on vacation for two weeks, you have to make up six office days.

The downside is that it will force sick people into the office just to get their three days.
