Back from a couple of poached eggs on an English muffin, taking clothings to the dry cleaners, then going to the Apple Store to check out the new Mac Mini and their 27-inch monitor and got the price for that, and then the all-in-one 24-inch iMac. Less real estate, of course and I'm quite used to the 27-inch. I do need the 1 TB version of either - difference in cost is about six hundred bucks, I think. Porting over my entire computer could take days, they said, so they recommended I get it all on a hard drive - I have a 5TB drive here - just need the adapter for USB-A to USB-C. That way, I can still use my computer. If I do it wirelessly, I could also use my old 2011 laptop and basically just do the notes.

In the cozy category, I read a lot of the Cat Who … books and the Stephanie Plum books.

In 2017-2018, when I first adopted Annabelle and Thatch, I read all of Lilian Jackson Braun's "The cat Who . . ." books, every single one in sequence. I b elieve the last two or three are written for her, and they are not as good.

I'm not sure I'd call them mysteries, but my favorite author for the past forty years has been Carl Hiaasen.

I bought the 24" iMac in August 2023. I like mine very much.

Prep is starting in 30 minutes.

Should we be saying anything like "Places, everyone" in 29 minutes?

Do you actually drink something yucky to start the process?

Gratuitous post #100.

I suppose I can relax until it's time to get ready for the belated birthday dinner.

I did not get to see any of Nutcracker this morning. It was a one-hour version of act two and was a sensory performance.

John G. · « **Reply #105 on:** December 10, 2024, 01:44:53 PM »

It started at 10 and people arrived up until about 10:25. For some reason it was cut short and ended at 10:45.

A couple of kids were shriekers. Their parents did not use the calm room.

Maybe I will get to see more Friday night when I usher again.

Have fun at the party MR BK.

I just had time to go to the UPS store to drop off the old Modem for return to Xfinity.

It was a madhouse.....a madhouse I tell you.....it was what it must have been like on the Titanic when folks realized all the lifeboats were gone.

I am pleased to say I made it out alive.

DR FREDDIE I took the choice of 28 oz of Gatorade and 12 caps full of Miralax.

Have you done this combination before?

I daresay it's DR Jrand74 who needs to be in "Places"... now... or soon... AND later.

The Gatorade part sounds enjoyable.

The Miralax, however ...

Concert vibes for DR CHAS SMITH.

My concerts are next Monday/Tuesday, but thank ya' anyway, DR Jrand74.

The vibes are most needed for my getting up those mornings and out of here to be seated at the piano for rehearsals starting at

(are you ready for it?)

7:30 am.

Groan. Vibes you are up and out on vibes, and alert.

Of course, I love Bosch and Michael Connelly’s other mystery solvers.

Ditto on those.

Jane · « **Reply #119 on:** December 10, 2024, 02:41:52 PM »

I never really cared for mysteries when I was young. While I read Nancy Drew books I wasn't a fan and preferred The Hardy Boys.
