And remember when you're talking about Indiana geography:

North Vernon is south.

South Bend is north.

And French Lick is nothing like it sounds.

DR ELMORE glad your meeting went well....did you hear any Indiana-isms from anyone, y'all?

Did everyone tote everything they needed to ZOOM soiree?

LOL! Actually, there was no one from Indiana at the meeting. Doug is in Seattle and Phil is in Brooklyn.

Well, I suppose I should (finally) get out of bed and get ready for work.  I need to allow enough time for slippery roads.

Until later!

So, I got to work just a little after 11:00...and only one, count 'em, ONE other person is here! :o

Does that other person also live close to work?

No. He lives out in Lacey (about 8 or 9 miles away).

How are you feeling today, Singdaw?

I am well enough to work, but would much rather be curled up in bed with a book.

Even when I am well, I’d much rather be curled up with a book.

The hand is healing. Cast is off, but I have a strange splint on it now that I am supposed to use.

That sounds like a Cole Porter song:

The hand is healing,
The cast is off,
But pardon me if I
Start to scoff
The headlines are screaming the news
There's a strange splint that I'm s'posed to use

You're welcome DR JANE.

I've read about a hundred pages - interesting but nothing we didn't see on tv.....at least yet.

Thanks.

No I'm not gonna try my car again until it gets warmer on Wednesday - then I'll drive over to CAR X and buy a new battery.

Sounds like the safest option.

I'm thinking there will be lots of catered food to bring home from the party.....so I may not have to cook tomorrow!

Take a bag to carry it home.

Of course I am taking my camera to document the goings on.

Right.  I am sure they will appreciate that.

Kudos to him then.  Has anyone else shown up?

Same here, or on the treadmill.  I haven't read at all today since I haven't decided what to read.

I am well enough to work, but would much rather be curled up in bed with a book.

I didn't realize that was a cast under the wrap.  Is there a photo of the strange splint?  Are you permitted to take it off to shower?

Speaking of Milwaukee, Craig isn't well enough to go.  After looking at the weather maybe he doesn't feel too bad.

I resolved my kitchen quandary by deciding to make only a half batch of pecan snowball cookies.

You know if you decide to make the other half I know someone who loves these very very very very very,  very very very very very very very much
