The original water heater in our house lasted 40 years. The replacement only lasted 10.

Today would be a nice day for a new member of the Grandma Club.

This also would be Kerry's birthday. I took him an Oreo cake on his last birthday.

I don't have anything to bake today, but I'll use his mixer next week. I still use it a lot.

That's sweet, DR Laura.

Speaking of sweet... sumo mandarins are in season. How I love them!

I left out the part where I yelled at him.

On his birthday.

I believe the exact quote was "What? You are eligible for that medical trial??? Why didn't you sign up for it???"

He did sign up for it. It did work. And he felt really good for several weeks. But ultimately it was an unrelated problem that he couldn't overcome.

I wish I could figure out why Chris Jansing on MSNBC irritates me so much.

Yesterday I discovered a minor leak under the sink in our main bathroom. The guy who was here to fix that was aghast at our 25-year-old water heater, so a new one is being installed as we speak. Seems that could have been done during the 5-month renovation, but we’ll take it.

Not good they didn't do this to begin with, but good they didn't balk now.

On his birthday.

I expect it was out of concern for his health.

Several good weeks of feeling better was worth your yelling at him to get into the trial.

Had a smash burger from the most well-reviewed place in LA - very good and their fries, which are basically In 'N' Out animal fries, are MUCH better than In 'N' Out.That said, one single patty smash burger isn't really enough food.

Between the painter and the plumber our day hasn’t unfolded as we’d planned. It’s all good, just sort of discombobulating.

Loading some albums to iTunes, including the new Merrily, Harmony and Alice by Heart.

Alexa, meanwhile, is playing a lot of selections from the London Sondheim revue, Old Friends. It’s OK. Won’t replace any of the original performances. They also played a selection from Days of Wine and Roses. Interesting. Not my favorite.

Did I mention today is the 165th birthday of Victor Herbert?

It's been a busier than usual afternoon.

But I did get my new ATM card - my old one wasn't going to expire until March, but the new one is so much nicer and lighter.
