Tomorrow at Pathway to Crystals my sister Myrna, my sister Molly, and I are having a Read-O-rama...a 15 minute reading for $20.

The event in November was a great success.....so we shall see what happens tomorrow.  I hope we are as popular with the populace as we were in the Fall.

Have fun.

A six-DVD set of Disney Christmas movies came in yesterday. I’m starting with the so far, so bad The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. CGI and dreariness. Misty Copland is supposed to be in it.

Here's a little factoid of little to no significance.

Misty Copeland's father-in-law was my UPS delivery man for the final five years I lived in Oakland!!!

I am soldiering along in my efforts to feel up to going to Simpsonville tomorrow.

My sniffling has cleared up quite a bit.  My lethargy has lifted somewhat.

I did two loads of clothes today!!! 

And I hope to go to bed early in order to get an earlier start on my day in the morning.

Facebook has been particularly annoying this week, and it has been more annoying in the past two days.

The ads are a bother.  The posts are often illiterate (although i am sure their births were "legitimate"...or not).   

I need a change in my life.

While walking today we saw a very unusual, at least something we have never seen before, train sitting on the tracks.  Be sure to click on the photo to enlarge it.

You can't really see the pretty designs painted on the boxcars. Here is a close-up I found online.

Looking up the AOK boxcar number we were able to find more information about the cars.  They are three tiered autoracks.

Apparently these unusual looking cars have inspired ridiculous conspiracy theories  ::)

I just read an obituary.  He had such a varied career.

Is there some new ad policy going on this week?

Watching Nightmare now. It’s the first time I’ve seen this since it came out. I didn’t like it yhen. I’m enjoying it much more now.

I can never distinguish if a recipe is calling for pecans or pea cans.
