Don't you?

Maybe, if I knew what it meant.

[Jane]

THREE!

[Jane]

I'm shellshocked to think that this is the last day of this bizarre year.

And to think that things are going to get even bizarrer going forward. Yes, that's my new word. Bizarrer.

I think it fits.

[Jane]

Today I will finish reading my last book of the year, Lily's Promise: How I Survived Auschwitz and Found the Strength to Live by Lily Ebert & Dov Forman.

I hope our New Year doesn't come close to being this Bizarrer.

[Jane]

My plans for today:

1. Deliver a cherry coke to my ill daughter (I know, but it's her comfort food and source of moring caffeine).

2. Go for a long walk.

3. Bitch about the neighbors' fireworks at 9, 10, 11, and midnight.

Vibes Aunt Sassy feels better, and that you stay well.

Enjoy your walk.

DR John do you ever use these for baking?

Yes, when they’re on sale.

[John G.]

Why not remake Paint Your Wagon (which I've never seen, but heard it's way off from the musical)?

They don’t remake failures usually.

[John G.]

I finished my 175th book of the year this morning, Han Kang’s Greek Lessons. Kang won the Nobel this year. Her stuff is like the descriptions of 3 Women earlier this week. It’s never what you expect. It always zags when you think it should zig.

[John G.]

I found a novel just made for me, Mr. Wilder and Me. It’s about a woman who accidentally befriends Billy Wilder and ends up working on Fedora. Total fact-based fiction.

[John G.]

I have made the chocolate chess pie:

[John G.]

It was an ordeal. I tried blind baking the pie crust I made last night. The dough stuck to the parchment paper under the pie weights. (I use dried beans.) So I ran out and bought a pie crust. All of the other ingredients were in place.

Tonight I’ll say “Happy New Year” when I really mean, “In 20 days we fall off into a cliff of despair. Please let the human suffering be minimal.”

Very well said!

I'm up, I'm up - almost eight hours of sleep - up at ten and catching up on things.

[bk]

In forty minutes, I shall be on my way to the dentist.

[Freddie]

In forty minutes, I shall be on my way to the dentist.

No-pain vibes for your dental visit!

[Laura]

That looks wonderful, John.

[Jrand74]

Pie.

[Jrand74]

Dentist vibes for MR BK.

[Jrand74]

It was nice to read DR IRIS' posts last night.

[George]

I hope I have turned a corner and this “something “ is gone

Well, I'm not going to be silent about my New Year wishes: I hope to hell the CD of Moonshine & Mistletoe is released and leads to some work, that Annabelle & Thatch is not postponed again, that the ballet finally gets offers of production that will lead to more work or income, that I win the lottery big and repay the generosity of friends who've helped me survive the past five years, and that Tramp has a stroke and dies.

~~~SUPER DITTO!!~~~

[Freddie]

That last post of mine was a false alarm.  I thought someone on TV said it was almost New Year in London and Paris.

[Freddie]

They'd said it was New Year's in Dubai.

Thanks for the link, Singdaw!

[George]

I almost forgot!  Look what arrived yesterday!

[George]

I'm shellshocked to think that this is the last day of this bizarre year.

And to think that things are going to get even bizarrer going forward. Yes, that's my new word. Bizarrer.

Agree!

[George]

They're re-making Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

WTH??

[George]

That's just wrong!
