Five!

[Jane]

On this day in 1843, Charles Dickens's novella A Christmas Carol was first published.

It is a great novella.

[John G.]

“The summer I killed my father, I was 10 years old.”

First line of Eve’s Bayou, a movie I have loved since the day it came out. The Criterion transfer is gorgeous. The casting is great.

[John G.]

May be my fifth or sixth time watching it. Hard to believe it’s 25 years old.

[John G.]

Diahann Carroll is amazing as a glamorous and craven ol’ voodoo queen.

DR JANE I think those are decisions we all face one day - and it is never easy.

[Jrand74]

DR CHAS SMITH I have NOT been keeping up with 9 1 1 this season - either of the shows.....Maybe I will binge watch some over this holiday weekend.

Had the two tiny filets - even better than yesterday's. And I tried their little scalloped potatoes thing, which you don't defrost but just stick in the microwave. It was very good, so I had a second. These are VERY small, maybe two ounces.

[bk]

That should be it for food today. I ended up ordering a lot of stuff for the Do from Amazon and it should be here by Friday at the latest - plates, plastic cutlery, that kind of stuff.

[bk]

So, the only thing I'll actually need to get come Thursday night are dinner rolls, pasta, and mushrooms. I already have the tuna pasta salad stuff.

[bk]

I've gotten everyone their songs and music save for two duets and one solo, which I'm still pondering.

[bk]

One package did arrive but it's not that important so I'll just wait until tomorrow to get it and whatever else arrives, since I have to go to the bank in the afternoon anyway.

[John G.]

How did things go with the two kids you had questions about, BK?

[George]

Letting go of my mother's jar was hard.  The memory of doing so has made me a bit sad. 

{{{HUGS!!}}}

[George]

On this day in 1843, Charles Dickens's novella A Christmas Carol was first published.

I didn't know that!

[John G.]

Jacob Marley knew.

[singdaw]

But Marley was gnarly.

[singdaw]

Marley ate barley.

[singdaw]

Marley rode a Harley.

[singdaw]

Perhaps all three at once.

Are you typing with one hand, DR John G.?

Wow, what an opening line.

[Jane]

DR JANE I think those are decisions we all face one day - and it is never easy.

So true, and I continue to try and let go of more and more.

Thank you.

[John G.]

Are you typing with one hand, DR John G.?

Just about everything is done with one hand.

[John G.]

Up from a long nap.

[John G.]

Time for dinner.

[bk]

I'll use them but only together on duets. I've told both parents that and they seem fine.

I began watching Babylon, which I'd prefer seeing on the big boy TV rather than the big boy computer. Well, in the first ten minutes, this overblown assault on every sense known to man, we get an elephant making a number two all over someone and then just a few minutes later we get some slutty woman at a big Hollywood party in the wild 1920s doing a number one all over a big, fat, disgusting man, who loves it. Then we get the party, filled with nude men and women humping each other in every way possible, while a band blares what sounds to me like big band music, which is not exactly the twenties, and we meet Margot Robbie, who crashes the party, sniffs more cocaine than Al Pacino in Scarface, and Brad Pitt being hedonistic, too. Now, that's the first twenty minutes. There are over two hours and forty-five minutes to go. I'm not sure I have it in me to continue.

Marley dated Carly.
