But at least they saw I was really in some distress

Do you think the cane tipped them off

Pam introduced me to Vixdad

She must be your best friend, or most appreciated friend

Everyone seems to be having perfectly lovely first days of the year.

singdaw · « **Reply #215 on:** January 01, 2023, 06:42:05 PM »

I think that's swell.

New Year's Day get-together is done and it was just a perfect way to spend it with friends - Alby Potts and his ever-lovin' Kirsten Fife, Marshall Harvey, Kay Cole and her ever-lovin' Michael Lamont, neighbor Nick and li'l ol' me. Much faux chicken stroganoff was consumed, along with tuna pasta salad, and everyone brought dessert and I must be very careful because all the desserts were left behind.

I already cleaned up most of the stuff.

Now, I think I'll try writing another few pages, then I'll sit on my couch like so much fish.

Nick brought K's Donuts - so I'm having half a peanut butter chocolate thing and half an apple fritter.

Sounds like just what the Doctor ordered.

singdaw · « **Reply #221 on:** January 01, 2023, 07:00:09 PM »

The Doctor always seems to know what to order.

I'm thinking of going into the wedding cake business.

singdaw · « **Reply #223 on:** January 01, 2023, 07:02:31 PM »

I think I'm going to start with something simple.

singdaw · « **Reply #224 on:** January 01, 2023, 07:02:55 PM »

And then work my way up.

singdaw · « **Reply #225 on:** January 01, 2023, 07:04:07 PM »

In other news, I'm ready to start the New Year.

singdaw · « **Reply #226 on:** January 01, 2023, 07:04:39 PM »

Good night, friends.

John G. · « **Reply #227 on:** January 01, 2023, 07:13:12 PM »

Enjoyed that movie a lot. I forgot Mark Knopfler did the score. Very playful.

John G. · « **Reply #228 on:** January 01, 2023, 07:14:34 PM »

I liked the movie much better than the book.

John G. · « **Reply #229 on:** January 01, 2023, 07:16:25 PM »

Jane, I managed 162 books this past year, about 22 more than the year before.

John G. · « **Reply #230 on:** January 01, 2023, 07:18:00 PM »

Now let’s see if I can finish the first for 2023.

DR RON PULLIAM and DR singdaw - the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that dreams of failing a class or exam can mean that we feel unprepared for an upcoming waking life event....

I long ago came to terms with feeling unprepared for waking life events to come.

I demand a refund of $35.

To all who wished me and family well:

The visitation was quite an event. I arrived at 1:30 p.m., half an hour early, and it was already underway. The line did not abate until about 3:50 p.m.

I met a lot of people for the first time, saw folks I hadn't seen in a while, and reunited with family members I hadn't seen since my Uncle's passing in late February.

There were good memories being shared and a lot of joy that Rob's pain was over. He was a well-loved member of the community, and it turned out for his family.

From DR Singdaw:

Quote
Apparently Dorothy Parker wrote to Robert Benchley on December 31, 1929:

Come right over here and explain why they are having another year.

That describes exactly how I felt this year

Dorothy Parker also wrote that she once went to a Halloween party at a friend's apartment. Upon arrival, the friend exclaimed that she was just in time...that everyone was "ducking for apples".

Parker replied that except for a "typographical error", that activity was the story of her life.

I can relate.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #234 on:** January 01, 2023, 08:32:09 PM »

It's my bedtime. I have a morning memorial service tomorrow at 11.

I need some restorative sleep so I don't scare anyone who might attend.

Finished Mister Owita’s Guide to Gardening. Excellent memoir. Tear-jerker.
