I just come here for the novelty coffee mugs and their trenchant commentary on the little ironies of everyday life.

Listening to a Scottish novel called Magpies. The writer uses a quote from Antony and Cleopatra that I had forgotten: Make Death proud to take us.

The Lincoln Center post office is much better than the one for 10024, but it has its own problems. I worked at an automated kiosk, which alerted me that every address I entered, including mine, was invalid. Still, it printed out the labels correctly and took my payments. I'm glad to be home.

To show how influential HHW is -

There's so much talk of eating burritos here on HHW, so I'm going to have burritos for lunch.

DR John that is an exceptional obituary and I too would have liked to met your mother.  You are much like her so in a way I did.

I have a new actress in one of the roles.....and right now the other actress who is being released from the hospital but still quarantined today and tomorrow....still has her part in the second act.

We shall see how it goes.  My guess is she may quit anyway.

What happened with the couple that split up?  Are they both still in the cast?

Ladies and Gentlemen, AN IMPORTANT UPDATE:

I've given it much thought, and I decided that I do NOT have to go to the grocery store today.

Survival until tomorrow is definitely in the cards.

Very, very nice.

That's an area rug, not tile or vinyl.  We'll see how well/long it lasts.

Hopefully a long while as it looks good there.

Thanks for all the nice comments on the obit. It’s long, but then again, she lived 97 years.

There was much to tell and I think it is very nice that it is long.

Wednesday afternoon greetings!  We returned home last evening, exhausted.  Our trip was a couple of hours longer than usual because we had an extended lunch stop in Ann Arbor with a couple of my friends from college.  One I see fairly frequently, but the other I hadn’t seen in 30 years.  We picked up right where we left off.

Our only commitment today was a previously scheduled tour of our community’s assisted living/skilled nursing facilities.  They’re very nice, but I’m in no hurry to need them.
