Finished one movie, starting another. I'll just say that FINALLY I've seen a good picture.

My friend Jerry with whom I had lunch a week ago Monday called today to say on the Tuesday following he tested positive again for Covid.

I have had no symptoms but I tested later day and am negative. He has been boosted but still contracted Covid again.....for the third time since August.

Oh, no!

I believe I am overtired.

I believe that page seven is waiting in the wings.

As am I.

I believe in miracles - and could use a few before my head explodes.

I believe I am watching yet another critics' darling of a movie, Everything Everywhere All At Once - it is giving me a headache. I'm not a fan of these meta, "cool" "hipper than hip" movies that go on relentlessly - this one for apparently 140 minutes. The directors brag how they had an idea for a film about the metaverse - that's enough to keep me far, far away from this kind of hipster movie - or as one critic raving put it - a stoner's delight. Well, I'm not a stoner. Oh, well. And I find the distributor, claiming that this thing has grossed over 100 million bucks is, well, something a stoner would try to claim.

We are NOT very far on page six.

bk · « **Reply #161 on:** December 14, 2022, 07:40:06 PM »

We're not even halfway to page seven or paradise.

bk · « **Reply #162 on:** December 14, 2022, 07:40:19 PM »

Everyone is everywhere all at once.

bk · « **Reply #163 on:** December 14, 2022, 07:40:35 PM »

Perhaps people are twiddling their proverbial thumbs?

The Secret of Christmas (from the film "Say One for Me").

It's not the glow you feel, when snow appears
It's not the Christmas card, you've sent for years
Not the joyful sound, when sleigh bells ring
Or the merry songs, children sing

The little gift you send, on Christmas day
Will not bring back the friend, you turned away.

So may I suggest, the secret of Christmas
It's not the things you do, at Christmas time
But the Christmas things you do all year through.

I am home

vixmom · « **Reply #167 on:** December 14, 2022, 07:47:01 PM »

My goodness but there was a lot of food

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #168 on:** December 14, 2022, 07:47:09 PM »

I would regale you all with tales of all I did today.

It would take all of 3 minutes, sad to say.

Well, actually...I did put up a wreath on the front of my house. It's a rather large wreath (48 inches wide for a double door) with 140 lights.

I don't have a double door, but have a large white expanse between my living room and dining room windows, so I hung it there in the middle.

It looks so very beautiful. I fear now that it might get stolen.

Oh, well.
