Topic of the Day:  nothing healthy. ::)

Probably burgers-of-the-ham that have no ham. ;D

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I really haven’t the stomach for that sort of horror anymore.

One thing i discovered in Japan is I don’t have the stomach for going up on tall observatories and such either. We went up to Shibuya Sky. Great view of Tokyo, but I was getting waves of vertigo. Had to just sit down while the fam looked out the glass.

And the vertigo lasted another couple days afterwards. No more towers for me.

I slept rather well. I may have been restless since annabelle abandonmed her princess pillow to sleep at the foot of the bed.

I cannot stand heights. I get vertigo looking at photos taken from the observation decks on both the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center, which always gave me a bad vibe. I'm not clairvoyant, but I never liked being at the World Trade Center. It brought up fears of subway disasters and burials, and I always felt uneasy there. In 1983-84, I worked for about a year at Classic Books on Sixth Avenue and 50th(?) Street. At one point the management sent me down to their World Trade Center store for a week. I couldn't wait to get back uptown. One of my best friends from Middletown worked in the building that collapsed after the Trade Center fell. For years, he would suggest I come down for lunch, and I always turned him down out of God knows what anxiety about the area.

DR John G, I'm looking forward to more stories. I loved the tale of your mother's cookie recipe.

Last night, I was cruising Amazon Prime for a movie and ended up watching Ang Lee's glorious Sense and Sensibility, which I hadn't seen in maybe ten years. I think it may be my all-time favorite Jane Austen adaptation. I had forgotten how wonderful the cast is, from Imelda Staunton's silly Charlotte Palmer - I'm not always crazy about her as an actress - and her loathing husband played by Hugh Laurie to Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant. Elizabeth Spriggs, a character actress I love is marvelous as Mrs Jennings, and Alan Rickman's Colonel Brandon breaks my heart.
