Trying to remember the last time I was sans car.

Our neighbor was in an accident.  Since he is also waiting for parts to fix it he is still driving his car.  Once the parts are all in he will take his car to be fixed.

I wonder if that could be another accident waiting to happen?

Why?  It is the body of the car that needs fixing, nothing else.


Oh, that makes sense.

My church did a gift thing for a foster child. I chose a teen boy, because I was afraid a teen wouldn't be chosen.

My daughter chose a 3-year-old girl. Little kids are fun to shop for. They will be happy with anything.

The only item close to $30 on the teen's list were Nike socks, at $26 per package.

I also bought a gift of baking equipment for my next-door neighbors. As much as I enjoy baking with the children, it's more important that they bake with their mother and aunt.

Was this the Regent East Bar on East 58th Street back in the 1980s?

I hope $26 was for more than one pair of socks!

I got three of the seven suggested items. All pretty utilitarian. But I suppose that's teen boys.

Our local theater is going to do Seussical in January. I have a pair of tickets in my season ticket package.

I bought the Horton books that the story is based on, and tucked in a note for Grandson saying that Aunt Sassy will take him to see it.

I saw it when it toured a number of years ago. I think he'll enjoy it. He's 6.

That may be a good idea that Jane has - if they tell me parts are coming from overseas, then maybe I'll go get the car and use it until they come in. Although, I don't really use it all that much.

Is "People are funny" a euphemism for "People are awful" :)
