The "feels like" has crept up from -14 to -12. So we're making progress.

Watching a documentary called The Book Keepers about a writer who dies as her first book is published and her husband does the promotional work for it.

Sad.

Reminds me of an author who died after completing a book, or two, and his mother pushed to get the book published. I wish I could remember exactly as I really liked what I read.

We are expecting 27 degree temps & snow on Thursday.

I postponed my morning haircut a week.

I prefer not to worry about dealing with the weather when I can easily wait on my hair. I don't have any plans where I need to look nice.

I think BK should write TWO books in 2023. Whatever he's going to write starting in January, and then a second book about his close personal friend, Stephen Sondheim. Everyone else is.

Depressing, gray day that is woefully short. The lack of sunlight is not helping matters. Thankfully, the solstice is tomorrow.

Was that A Confederacy of Dunces?

You could write a book about being a close personal friend of a close personal friend of Stephen Sondheim’s.

I don't remember what the book was, however, everything else fits and this must be the novel. Thank you.

Congrats to Larry on his added income.

May we all have that.

Jane, thanks for the feedback regarding your friend's tear duct plugs. I've decided to forego the procedure, but am still interested in hearing how others do, as things change and I may feel the need to do it at some point in the future. I take black currant seed oil to combat overall dryness, which I would need anyway.

I have resumed my cull. So much has piled up! Today I went through a pile of papers, mostly requests for charitable donations, and tossed a LOT. Another pile remains. And this is the stuff that I didn't toss when it first came in. Ugh.

Hope you are feeling better, DR Jeanne. Slowly but surely.

I'd definitely love to read that book!

Did BK say he didn't like BABYLON? Really? We all know how much he admires vomit scenes.

My DH dumped a jar into one of those machines, got his receipt, and went back the next day to redeem it. Sorry, must be redeemed the day you put the change in. So we lost it all.

sounds like a gotcha to me. Was this Wells Fargo Bank? No one does rip-offs like they do.

Read a fun article about why the Angostura bitters label is too big for the bottle. It was originally a mistake, but then they decided to keep the mismatch to stand out.
