Happy birthday, DR Ginny!
Outdoors work: done.
The neighbor plowed, I shovel-scraped to clean up (it was a little too wet to pick up with the snowblower), and the sun is doing its work. I hope it does a lot more of said work on all the snow still on the trees before it super-freezes overnight. We’re looking at two consecutive nights in the teens.
DR JANE I hope you are feeling better today.
Mediocre barbecue for dinner. Decent brisket, overcooked ribs. The borracho beans were lukewarm. When I took them back, they filled another cup and popped it in the microwave. Oy.
But the beer is cold and good.
Turner Classics is apparently showing The Man Who Came to Dinner on Christmas Eve.

Are you writing a review for the restaurant? I am guessing the only way to get the beans hot was by putting them in the microwave.

No self-respecting restaurant ever uses a microwave in an open kitchen.
Even McDonald's doesn't use microwaves.
Watching a short documentary (part 2 actually) on "The Hudson River School" of artists, including Thomas Cole, who lived in Catskill, and Frederic Church, who lived just across the river. Interesting to encounter this rich artistic tradition in an area that was as filled with philistines as any place I've ever been.
Our condo monthly news letter arrived today and I cringed when I read "revert back". I asked Keith and was pleased he too cringed. I think it is worse than when someone says PIN number figuring they don't know the N stands for number. Then Keith said he was about to comment to me last night, while watching The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, that Midge said Irregardless. But then Suzie corrected her that is isn't a word & all was right in the world ;)
He then said it has been a long time since he thought about an ISBN ;D
We had a nice birthday dinner with Rob and Mary Linda. It’s been a lovely day.

They were both very talented.

That's nice to read.

I like the word "unthawed."
I always say, "You mean it was frozen?"
"No. They unthawed it."
Or "deboned." As opposed to "boned."
As in, "That thar chicken was deboned."
She must be stopped!
Happy Birthday to DR Ginny!
I'm glad to read that you've had a lovely day.

OK, you got me on that one. You would not ask if the fish was deboned?

Speaking of enemies, the CD of The New Yorkers just received a lousy Amazon review from a William Oser, who has already panned my recordings of Dearest Enemy and, by inference, Eileen. He claims to have done a great many things, from acting to working with John McGlinn, but I can find nothing to support his claims. I believe he's a total fraud.

Ask Keith how he feels about people referring to a book’s ISBN number...
Feel-better vibes to Jane, George, and anyone else ailing.
I turned him back around and went back into the office where I finally obtained the needed signatures

Whew! Did he forget, or was he avoiding it?
I don’t work for him anymore so I don’t care as long as I got my paper signed
I haven’t smoked now since 1987 and vixdad had his last smoke 12/31/1988

Both my parents smoked while my sister and I were growing up, but my mom quit about a month before my niece was born in 1984.
I ended up by three pairs of earrings that were marked down from $50 to $10 and were further reduced by means if the magic coupon to $7 a piece, 2 cozy fleece sweatshirts reduced from $19.99 to $9.99 a piece so they came to like 6.98 each and a pretty light blue ribbed turtleneck reduced from $29.99 to $19.99 so it was about $14 after the coupon and the I was given $10 in Kohl’s cash so all in all I was pretty pleased

You wouldn't want the bones removed from a fish before cooking. Bones are where the flavor is. Anyway, I guess I was taught that by a snooty, language-is-frozen person, who would not realize that after 50 years of usage, a word can change.
The other day, a woman was complaining about the Washington Post using "gift" as a verb. It's been used as a verb since the 17th century. If we've been using "gift" as a verb for 400 years, then, by gum, it's a verb.

I currently WORK with people who say "ISBN number." ::)

Thanks, Jeanne! I'm getting there.
Instead of taking the elevator I took the back staircase to the second floor and met the man himself in the stairwell on his way out
I am so glad I am out of there
I laughed and said,” where do you think you’re going buddy?”
He looked stricken then kind of laughed and looked embarrassed

The boss is hosting an office Holiday dinner at a local country club.

Still have no idea what to wear for the dinner though
So when I got home , after making and eating dinner, I signed on and was able to request plans to support the soup kitchen.

Do you tell them that the N stands for number?

Oh :o
Did you take the stairs for the exercise or did you suspect he would try to sneak out on you?
Okay, I am a sucker for schmaltz, but I think Xfinity’s E.T. redo is very sweet.

It's starting to grow on me.
