Four!

[ChasSmith]

Good afternoon, all.

[ChasSmith]

I want vixmom's eggs benedict.

Not that I need them, what with the bacon and homemade blueberry waffles sitting in my stomach.

[ChasSmith]

And I want everybody's deviled eggs.

[ChasSmith]

I *think* I won $20 way back in L.A., back in the late 1980s. Probably one of my first ever lottery plays.

Or maybe I dreamed it at some point over the years.

Other than that, I think I've topped out at several $1 or $2 or $3 wins and a $5 win at some point. 

[ChasSmith]

Impressive, no?

No.

[ChasSmith]

Today, following a few single-digit and teens days I suddenly remembered that we should be starting and running our automobiles for a few minutes each day to keep the batteries going. Fortunately, they all started up fine. Also fortunately, I've got the BK-approved battery charger right here in the house all charged up in case of sudden dire need.

[ChasSmith]

Got one more dose of Paxlovid to take tonight. It definitely did a lot of good. I could feel it starting to work late on the first day, and on the second day it was like I'd never even been sick. Did I say this already? Anyhoo, I've been fine except that I've been post-nasal-dripping like crazy, so my throat still gets tickled and I cough more than I'd like.

I also figured out that that kind of a cough is a complete waste of bodily energy. It's only triggered by the drip, and as such, it has no function. Coughing is only good when there's congestion to break up and clear out. So this is utterly wasted dry hacking that has no bearing whatever on the thing that's causing it. I'm trying to keep it to a minimum so I don't just get into a coughing fit cycle for no reason.

Anyhoo (again), other than that and a couple of sneezes per day, I feel fine, normal, and like I never had the Covid cold five days ago.

I'm up, I'm up - nine and a half hours of sleep.

[bk]

That is beyond peculiar - I did the word of the day - it was there plain as day and now it's not. Maybe I forgot to push post but that would be highly unlikely. Coming up.

[bk]

And the word of the day is: HALCYON!

[Jrand74]

Halcyon. Wasn't he the host of The Name's The Same?

[Jrand74]

I remember a couple of things today that Steve Allen did that still make me laugh almost 60 years later.

He introduced a rock group on his syndicated show on here in the afternoon by saying:
"Here's the American Breed singing their hit song 'Bend Me, Shape Me'.......from their album "Grab Me, Stab Me'......"

[Jrand74]

And on one of his night time shows he was giving the news and said:
"And now we have an on the spot chopper report from the scene."

Quit cut to a table full of those wind up teeth chattering and moving all around.....still funny.....

[Jrand74]

Of course The Man On The Street interviews were my favorites as a young nipper.....and later on when he would do a soap opera and the camera would pick out folks in the audience to illustrate the characters he was talking about......

[Jrand74]

Hi Ho, Steverino!

[Laura]

And the word of the day is: HALCYON!

I think that's what they gave me when I had that dental surgery.

[ChasSmith]

Nice interview with Robin De Jesus.

Will watch that, thank you.

And thanks to the 'vid, I missed visiting with him at our mutual friend's Christmas Eve Eve partay.

[ChasSmith]

Woops. I mean read it, not watch it.

[elmore3003]

As soon as I finished kitty cleanup, I lay down with all three babies. That was aeound 10:15. They slept and I dozed. At 1:30, I got up, took the garbage to the basement and picked up my mail from Saturday. Then I took a nice hot bath. I am now finishing up the leftovers from yesterday.

[singdaw]

Back from a celebratory brunch, at which I ate probably enough for 3 meals. Why do I do that?

[singdaw]

Resting up. Tonight, we are dining out with friends. By then, I'll probably be hungry again.

[singdaw]

Perhaps a nap?

[singdaw]

Since people are posting images of paprika, here's one of Tiler Peck:

[Jane]

Did someone say paprika?

Speaking of...yesterday, my sister made deviled eggs sprinkled with paprika!  And here they are:

While mine never look that pretty they are sprinkled with paprika.

[Jane]

The index finger is numb. I thought that was the splint but it’s the surgery.

Did the surgeon warn you of this?  I suppose it is better than pain.

[Jane]

Then for dessert, we had a BIG box of Whitman's chocolates:

Do they still sell their little sampler boxes?  I like the boxes as a child, problem was I never really liked their chocolate.

[Jane]

Got one more dose of Paxlovid to take tonight. It definitely did a lot of good. I could feel it starting to work late on the first day, and on the second day it was like I'd never even been sick.

Keith's biggest complain was the dry cough, and it lingered for a couple of weeks.

[John G.]

Up from a nap.

Watching the American titles of Saint Francis, an extra on the disc that includes artwork that Rossellini used to create scenes in the movie.
