I’m going to a reading tonight of Thornton Wilder’s The Long Christmas Dinner. Should be fun.

I know there’s a character named Ermengarde. Gotta love that. Just like Horace’s niece in The Matchmaker.

HEB, the local grocery chain, has introduced a Spurs-inspired ice cream. The label is in black and silver, not pajama blue. It’s called Courtside Chocolate Crunch, a chocolate malt ice cream with crunchy bits and a chocolate syrup swirl.

I think a small sample would be perfect.

In other news.

Soylent Green Is People.


I hear Meat Loaf is People, too - well, a person.






It was a mention the other night of Meat Loaf the person that was the catalyst for this meatloaf renaissance.

I went to the doctor and all the skin things I was worried about were not concerning to my doctor. As skin is her specialty, I will call this a win.

Anyone else have relatives who referred to a messy closet as “McGee’s closet”? A Fibber McGee reference.

I am trying, oh yes, I am trying to get through Nosferatu, a real critics' darling. I'm not sure I will.

The reason I'm not sure I will is because I cannot stand it.

The play is short. The reading was excellent. In a few minutes, a bereavement counselor is coming out to lead a talk.

Too bad about Nosferatu. I love both the original and the Herzog remake.

Monday evening greetings!  Today I made a batch of caramel corn for holiday gifting (and our enjoyment).  Because I have a cold I wore a mask and because I’m still shedding some hair I wore a (new) disposable shower cap.  I looked like I was about to perform surgery.

Speaking of surgery, I hope Iris’s went smoothly today and she’s resting comfortably.
