DR JANE after I replied "sure" to the message about the leftovers - it has been eerily quiet. I have heard nothing else.....so I am not sure what is happening.

I started to watch a basketball game and fell asleep - four hours ago so there you are.

It was nice to read DR AMY's on the spot dispatch about the do.

.....and I am eating some leftover pizza that I had made yesterday so as not to starve to death and leave my carcass behind for folks to find if and when they ever deliver the party leftovers....

Forty years ago today, we had Christmas lunch with Richard’s parents and took an afternoon flight to New York City. We saw 8 shows in the week we were there, alternating standing in the TKTS line and warming ourselves in the bookstore where DR Elmore worked. This was when we were DINKs - Double Income, No Kids.

Christmas morning greetings! We have chickened out of driving to Cincinnati today. Our steep driveway is icy underneath the snow. We could probably get down, but we might not get back up.

I was wondering if you would be able to go. Do you have food besides the desserts to eat?

Yes, DR Jane, I planned last night’s dinner for just this contingency. We have pork roast, wild rice, and Jello salad leftover and I’ll add a new green vegetable.

But, what we missed today was prime rib with Yorkshire pudding - and some good company.

Of course, not as nice but at least you had food and heat. Yum, Yorkshire pudding.

DR Kevin, how much total accumulation of snow do you have there?

Better than I thought but still not fun.

The airport had 43 inches as of this morning. Not sure how much where I am, but probably 30 plus. It’s hard to tell with the drifting.

Are you sure you didn't miss a text or call while napping?

The weather was obviously good for the flights and standing around

Craig told us about a plane crash near him last month. Amazingly the plane held together and wasn't zapped. Though injured the pilot & passenger lived.

Here is a closer view.

120,000 people were without power after it was shut off.

Jane · « **Reply #164 on:** December 25, 2022, 03:09:08 PM »

It took close to seven hours to rescue them. They weren't in great shape. I can't find a follow up story on how they are doing.

DR Kevin, was that you on the front page of today's NEW YORK TIMES, digging out from all the snow?

I am celebrating Christmas by doing laundry.

I've done laundry on many Christmases. Not today -- I did it yesterday. It's like death and taxes, but more frequent.

I'm listening to Sandy Bainum's THIS CHRISTMAS. Every time I pull out this CD I'm reminded how wonderful it is.

Christmas was very special to my father. He's been gone 19 years now. I miss him.

Hugs.

The Do was splendid! Mark and I went back several times for spaghetti, which was a good thing because Bruce seemed to make enough pasta for about 50 people. All the desserts were amazing, but in particular, Alby Potts brought some homemade cheesecake pecan bars that were out of this world. I snuck a couple home with me. Adrian Russ brought homemade lemon cookies made with lemons from her own tree that were very good, and Mark's favorite since he's allergic to both nuts and chocolate.
At some point, Bruce yelled, "Where's Robert Yacko!" and within seconds, Robert rang the doorbell - it was a bit eerie. Bruce and Robert regaled us with wonderful stories - I didn't realize Robert had done so much television work and now I feel like I need to go looking for clips on You Tube. And I now know what Oscar-nominated films NOT to see!
All in all a wonderful time was had by all.

Thanks for your Do Report, Amy. Come post more often.

DR TCB do you have power?

Sing, that was me who asked about GLASS ONION. Thanks for your response. I'll probably watch it today.

I hope someone picked DR TCB up to spend the day with his family.

Darling Daughter has left the premises. Her BFF showed up after about ninety minutes, so we all had fun. Daughter had spaghetti and tuna pasta salad, BFF just had the tuna pasta salad. Daughter baked a lot of fun thing for me, and gave me her usual scratcher card. In all the years she's done this I think I won $2.00 once, another ticket once, and 10.00 once. Well, we struck it rich with this one - seventy-five bucks, baby. We went to the 7-11 where she got it and I got my damn cash. Fun! Anyway, it was a lovelier than lovely visit, and now I'm eating tuna pasta salad, batch two, since batch one had nothing left after the girls ate it.

I'm sure I'll find something to watch.
