Today, I need to go into work and get some checks that need to be mailed and take them to the post office because our building is going to be closed again.  Fortunately, I live close to my work, and there's a post office just a few blocks away, too, so it won't take very long at all.

Then, at some point today, I'll also go to a friend's open house birthday party.  Her birthday is actually today!  She and her husband live less than a couple of miles away, so it'll all be very level driving.  I'll definitely be home long before midnight.

It feels almost perverse, but all three of us here are delighted that

(1) We'll be having our standard New Year's Eve par-tay tonight, and
(2) No one's coming!   :D

Kristi will be holding down the Zoom session with our usual suspects (that's her thing, anyway), I'll be popping in here every so often, we'll enjoy the snacks and watching our balls drop, and it will be a totally non-stressful time.

It's a landmark day for 2021.

It's the Ultimo Finale in a way.

I have no plans, no goals, no bills to pay.

I have food in the cabinets, the refrigerator and in the freezer.

I am blessed beyond measure.

And yet, I am glad to be at the backside of 2021.

A day or so ago, I saw (for the first time -- and last) the movie "Joker" with Joaquin Phoenix.

I nearly gave up watching it in the first five minutes. They felt it necessary to introduce the character's medical condition before giving us any context for it.  I was very annoyed by it and was just about to move to another channel when the makers of the movie let me see that the character was not in control of his outrageous giggling.

From there, I was riveted by one thing.  Phoenix's performance was astonishing.  The film isn't all that great and goes on and on when it should have pulled back.  But, Phoenix held me to the very end.  I will never watch the film again, but my memories of the Joker will remain.

The TOD is again another interesting one.

My answer for yesterday finally came to me.  One New Year's Eve Day my friend Sabian Trout and I were driving down the street heading for the Phoenix Theatre.  I was the stage manager and she was my assistant for a production of The Cemetery Club with a group of wonderful actresses.

A New Year's Eve do was planned to take place for the audience after the show including a band and champagne....and the theatre nabobs had decided that Sabian and I would be in charge while they went to their various celebrations.

As we were driving down the street at about 4 p.m. there on the side of the street was an old cabinet radio-phonograph in someone's junk pile.  Both of us looked at it and then at each other.

I turned my Ford Escort around and we went back and got it.

The party was great - the audience had a wonderful time and the band was very tuneful...and the show that night was also good.

The End.

And the radio-phonograph spent many happy years at my house until it went to live with my sister Myrna.

It didn't have any guts so it was just for show....but it also made a nice lobby prop a couple of summers later when I directed The 1940's Radio Hour.

I neglected to say that we finally bought the car battery jumper that BK has. With three cars here, and given BK's experience with AAA, it made total sense and I'm glad we have it. However, either the voltage meter or something else is faulty, or I'm understanding something wrong.

When pressing the red button before charging it the first time, it read somewhere in the middle which I'd expect with it being new. Then I gave it an initial overnight charge. When I unplugged and checked it the next day, the needle only went into the low green so I plugged it back in for a few hours. Unplugging and checking it again, the needle now doesn't even move. But when it's plugged in, the "Charged" light is on.

So, question for BK:  I'll read through the instructions again but it seems very straightforward. I'll also contact the company. But does it sound like I'm doing something wrong?

EDIT:  I just checked it again after leaving it alone for a while and it jumped right up to 13 volts!

CostCo and Sam's Club always exhaust me.  Of course, I find that a bit exhilarating, as well.  The exhausting part comes with the lengthy trip home.  It takes me a half hour for each trip.  Depending upon how much I buy, I can be pretty exhausted just unloading the car.

I can report on gas prices. BJ's has been holding at $3.29 for a while. It had reached $3.38 or thereabouts back in November, but it dropped and has stayed put at this level.

ChasSmith, mine has never gone all the way to the full green, just in the middle - it took many hours to do the initial charge, maybe four or five. Once that was done it went to the middle of the green and there it has stayed ever since and it's been months and many charges later, so this thing really holds without having to recharge it - I've never recharged it since that first time.

Ah, thank you. I think we have finally attained a comfortable green stability here. Halfway up would be about that 13V level, and it sounds like that's where we want to be.

And I find it amazing that you can get so many restarts out of it before recharging it. Nice product!

I have had a strangely industrious afternoon, of sorts.

I started off by watching "Don't Look Up" which I thought very very good.  I read a bit about it and all the critical theories as to what it represents and how heavy-handed some of the critics thought the director was being.  But...it spoke volumes to me.

As if that weren't quite enough, I took on "The Power of the Dog".  Holy smokes!  Benedict Cumberbatch is one hell of a great actor.  It was very intense. 

Now, I am re-watching season one of "Manifest". 

But I took this break to check in, say "View, Halloo" and find out what everyone is talking about.

I had seen advertised "foot bombs".  They are frightfullyl pricy for what you do with them.

You do not drink them, of course.  You put one into a container of very warm water and soak your feet in the water.  It sounds nice, but...oh, well.

DR Ron have you read The Power of the Dog?

No, but I understand the ending in the book is more specific than in the movie...which "suggests" what happened rather than outright states it.

Good for them making it a definite ending.  I looked up the book and the reviews are great.  I also read the novel is semi-autobiographical.

I am thinking of having a hot chocolate.

I bought some hot chocolate bombs through Sam's Club online, and they arrived today.

Have never had a hot chocolate bomb.  I hope I enjoy it.

I want to hear all about your hot chocolate bomb.  I looked it up and it is intriguing. 

The bombs came in a pack of eight.  Four regular, two Mint and two Caramel.

I had a regular.  You pour six ounces of hot milk over a bomb in a cup.  You stir.  The outer shell of the bomb is chocolate and there are miniature marshmallows insiide.

It was very tasty.

Hmmm, I don't think I would want the mint one.  It sounds good.  Knowing me I might need to add extra chocolate.

I was disconcerted by so little milk.  I think I will likely use two bombs in 12 ounces of milk next time.

It was an incredible performance.

I had seen advertised "foot bombs".  They are frightfullyl pricy for what you do with them.

You do not drink them, of course.  You put one into a container of very warm water and soak your feet in the water.  It sounds nice, but...oh, well.

Can your feet taste the chocolate?   ;)

Today's good news: I fell asleep quickly and slept through the night. 7.75 hours! Yay!

I've been trying a new sleep product. It helped from the start with falling asleep quickly and sleeping better than usual, but not sleeping long enough. I'd wake up at 5 am -- not very useful. It says to take 1-2 tablets 30-60 minutes before bed and an optional 1-2 just before bed. Last night I took one and one. I would love to sleep well consistently.

Today's bad news: my car wouldn't start. A couple days ago my next-door neighbor knocked on my door at an ungodly hour of the morning to tell me that my car was beeping and the lights were all flashing. I remotely unlocked, then relocked it, and all seemed well. But it is not. It's been raining heavily and I thought I'd mention it when I take it in for service, as it's due anyway. Sigh. It looks like that'll be my Monday task. The handyman's coming by then, too, and the rest of the week is full of appointments.

I set my DVR to record that. :)

Phase 10 - I don't even know what it is.

It's a fun card game for two to six players.  It's very similar to gin rummy, but the Phase 10 deck has some wild cards and some skip cards, so there are other ways of playing that gin rummy doesn't have.
