Hello, 1 guest!

Started listening to Ann Patchett’s latest novel, Tom Lake. Meryl Streep does the reading.

The first hour is about a community theater production of Our Town.

John G. · « **Reply #154 on:** August 16, 2023, 08:05:17 PM »

Highly recommended so far.

Oh, at dinner we also had some excellent white cheddar mac and cheese.

Good evening - more cast/crew down with COVID.

That's all I'm saying about THAT!

To celebrate Vixmom’s birthday, I went to a steakhouse I can only afford during Restaurant Weeks. Had wild boar over some wonderful sour cream mashed potatoes and green beans.

Wild boar! That’s something I’ve never tried. Is it similar to pork or more gamey?

Started with a cup of lobster bisque with plenty of lobster meat.

Mmmmmmm

Dessert was an indifferent bread pudding.

If it didn’t care, why should you?

I didn’t know she did audio books. I may get this just to listen to her

Oh, how sad. I’m sorry

vixmom · « **Reply #164 on:** August 16, 2023, 08:20:19 PM »

I’m very tired I have to go to bed

Similar to pork. Quite snacky.

Tom Hanks’s reading of Patchett’s last book, The Dutch House, was great.

Watching a creepy little flick called Five Minutes to Live with Johnny Cash as a hoodlum.

John G. · « **Reply #168 on:** August 16, 2023, 08:54:59 PM »

The cast also included Vic Tayback, little Ronnie Howard (pre Andy Griffith) and Merle Travis.

Damn them, damn them all to HELL. Happy birthday, vixmom - adding to the notes. I thought I'd checked last night before posting, but I think it may been just before midnight.

Birthday wishes added to the notes.

I get so irritated when I miss a birthday, but thank goodness it's been RECTIFIED.

Busy writing day and a crazy one.

Had Subway for food and am having some chips right now.

Got more Pepcid.

Page six my ASS.

What the HELL is going on here?

bk · « **Reply #177 on:** August 16, 2023, 09:02:27 PM »

We cannot possibly be on page six.

bk · « **Reply #178 on:** August 16, 2023, 09:02:46 PM »

And yet logic dictates that we ARE on page six.

And you all know what that means.
