This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Something like that only happens two or three times in a person's life!

Today in the mail I received two Christmas cards.

One from Arizona and one from Greencastle, Indiana.

I received three today.

I received one last week and one the week before. :)

Ron Pulliam, with whom I once shared dim sum in Oakland, is a good person to ask.

Absolutely you should go for dim sum.  If I lived any closer to you, I'd stop by and pick you up on my way over there.


And the fun we’d have! Unfortunately I’m saddled with two very unadventurous eaters, my kids.

They won’t like the chicken feet. I can almost guarantee that.

Nor would I...EVER!! :o

Returning to Pinocchio. It follows the original while updating the story to fascist Italy.

Never say ever. I actually came to like pickled chicken feet.

Today, about to take our turn at a four way stop, the car to our right did a stop/roll and kept going.  Once the jerk was through we went.  That was when I noticed the SUV behind the guy who rolled through the stop sign ahead of us had big letters on the side of his car.

P O L I C E

Yet, the police car did not go after the rolling, out of turn, guy.  It seems to me it should have been a double ticket.

Lengua is sold everywhere here. Part of the culture. It’s very good. Doesn’t talk back.

We never called it Lengua.  My mother always served it with cabbage.  My father liked leftover sandwiches.

Pinocchio has a teal tearjerker of an ending.

It’s a musical, by the way, with songs by Alexandre Desplat and Guillermo del Toro among others.

Tuesday evening greetings!  We have been home a couple of hours after a delightful Christmas weekend with Charlotte and Hannah and their parents.  Hannah cried when we left.

And, as of tomorrow, our house will have been shown 7 times.  One of tomorrow’s is a second look, if I’m reading the app correctly.

It’s Le Beau Serge, Claude Chabrol’s first movie and a look at small town life. Handsome Serge’s life has not turned out as he imagined. He’s become a drunk.
