DR Singdaw it was outside pipes freezing that caused the inside fire sprinklers to go off inside four units on Christmas Eve day. Fortunately for us, they were not in our building.

Listening to Ades’s Powder Her Face. Very 21st century music, for better and for worse.

So, this opera has an aria sung by the leading character as she is performing a sex act on a room service delivery man.

My question for ASK BK DAY.

Since SAMI will be on a streaming service - will it be Emmy-eligible?

DR TCB did you find your charger and hose for your portable oxygen tank?

Wednesday morning greetings! Our neighbor Rosemary cleared our driveway yesterday, so I think we’re going to venture out today. We have some errands to do and I really, really want to eat out. I’m a little tired of my own cooking.

That was very nice of Rosemaary.

Yes, DR Ginny, isn't it amazing how appealing the simple act of eating out can seem sometimes?

Unless traveling we rarely eat out anymore. It would be nice to go out.

Especially if you can cut the food. Or handle it with one hand.

Keith is embarrassed when I need him to cut my food.

Really embarrassing was on the ship when I asked the waiter to cut my spaghetti before serving. Oh no, they could not "present" it that way and the waiter cut it for me after he served it.

Since Christmas morning we have had a nutria feasting on the lawn outside our window. From a distance he looks like a big rock. This morning he is closer and I don't need the telescope to watch him.

Wow, DR Jane!

A forthcoming cookbook on vegan Middle Eastern cooking is called "Veganistan." I thought that was clever.

I have been known at times to cut my spaghetti before consuming. I'm sure that is anathema to many purists. But I do my own cutting.

DR Jane, do you scan menus for items that don't need to be cut?

Where was King David's Temple located?

That happened at the Fitton Art Center in Hamilton, OH, (where DR Elmore gave a lecture several years ago) and at the state capitol in Columbus.

The recipe says that this festive Feta Tapenade tarte is "easy."

Somehow I don't believe them.

singdaw · « **Reply #79 on:** December 28, 2022, 10:26:50 AM »

But I always was a sucker for a tart.

singdaw · « **Reply #80 on:** December 28, 2022, 10:28:19 AM »

Insert DR TCB's retort here.

singdaw · « **Reply #81 on:** December 28, 2022, 10:32:36 AM »

A tart tarte retort, as it were.

Hey, that’s my line.

I am home. AAR has its low standards to maintain.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #84 on:** December 28, 2022, 11:22:12 AM »

The ride down to City Center was on time and all went well. However . . .

elmore3003 · « **Reply #85 on:** December 28, 2022, 11:23:28 AM »

My ride home was scheduled for 1:30. At 12:54, AAR texted me that my eide would arrive in 15 minutes.At 1:06 I got a text that my ride had arrived. The driver called to tell me she was outside. Joshie helped me get out to the street. I called the driver, since I did not see a car anywhere. I was told she was at 112 Street, not West 56th, I told her - I think it was a woman and the accent and traffic noises did not help - I was taking a taxi home.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #86 on:** December 28, 2022, 11:27:05 AM »

Joshie helped me with the taxi. About halfway home, another driver called to say he was outside City Center. I told him the ride was a dud.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #87 on:** December 28, 2022, 11:28:31 AM »

I walked in my front door at 1:36 and my phone rang. It was from someone with AAR. He told me my driver was waiting for me. I told him I was home. He was not happy.

I wonder if AAR is using the same tech systems as SouthWest airlines.
