I have peeled a ginormous grapefruit. It took too much effort. Though it tastes great, I really only wanted about a quarter.

Back to Return to Lonesome Dove. Excellent actors like CCH Pounder, Louis Gossett Jr. and Barbara Hershey mixed with irritating William Petersen, Reese Witherspoon and Jon Voight make it a mixed bag.

An ugly, hard-to-watch scene has just begun. A fire fueled by heavy winds is burning down Barbara Hersey's ranch. It's just a little too close to the headlines for my tastes.

So far my broccoli cheddar waffles are going really well.


Are they healthier than the usual waffles, because no one will eat them?

I am vaccinated. It went so quickly that I was out of my 10:30 appointment by 10:32. Since I gad no idea of how long I would be at the CVS, I acheduled my ride home for 11:30. As saoon as I was vaccination area, I called Access-a-Ride to inquire about an earlier ride. They came through, and a very nice and helpful driver showed up around 11:00. I literally walked into my apartment at 11:30.

Great that Access-a-Ride was able to change the schedule like that!

Shingles #1 was the first time I ever had a reaction to a vaccination (except a really sore arm from Tetanus shots).  I was really tired and achy, as I recall.

Keith & I did not like our first shot, especially the fact that the person who gave it to us made it extra painful.

Was that person clumsy in giving the shot?

That shot stung, Jane. So did the Hep B.  It may be the shot itself.

We think she new, and I don't remember ever seeing her there again.  She stabbed us super hard.

That is my point, this was worst than it should have been, and far worse than the second shot or Hep B or Tetnus.

Return to Lonesome Dove is finally ending. That was a partially well spent $1.25. I did like the score. Faux Aaron Copland and Elmer Bernstein.
