What do other people do, when they can't sleep; if they don't have HHW to visit?

I think this was a rhetorical question, but I'll answer anyway. When I get into bed the first thing I do is what I call the "gratitude drill." I review my day and give thanks for everything that went right. There are always so many things going on that it's easy to lose sight of things that went right--the focus is always on things that went wrong. There's often more that went right--by my standard, of course--than I would have thought.

I like the gratitude drill. I'll have to try that.

The flights were fairly uneventful, but I got four messages from Southwest, each with different times for departure on the flight from Atlanta to San Antonio. And we didn't leave at any of them.

But the flight gave me enough time to finish Balzac's "A Murky Business," which was indeed murky because it was set against a backdrop of all the change that occurred before, during and after the French Revolution and then all the mess with Napoleon, who was a minor character.

But it was a really good tale in which he showed good people who sometimes pay for doing the right thing and the bad people who sometimes succeed by doing wrong.

Well, I've driven everyone off.

John G. · « **Reply #96 on:** January 13, 2015, 08:46:44 PM »

And I have to leave, too.

I need to get the bird at 7 a.m. and then head off to work.

I watched a movie, then wrote more pages - nine so far, with another three or four to come. I'll finish the current chapter and happily I know exactly what the next chapter will be.

Goodness! I have discovered the vast wasteland.

Has there been a national internet outage today or tonight?

TCB · « **Reply #100 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:15:21 PM »

Lucky 100!

TCB · « **Reply #101 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:15:44 PM »

Well, maybe not that lucky.

TCB · « **Reply #102 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:16:41 PM »

I still have not slept, except a couple of five minute naps.

TCB · « **Reply #103 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:17:35 PM »

I will turn in around eleven, and hopefully be able to fall asleep.

Yesterday's Topic of the Day:

I am an expert on casseroles. Eating them, not making them. My mother was a single-parent school teacher in the 50's. Not exactly a high paying career back then, especially for women. We had a lot of casseroles for dinner, with leftovers the next night. it is strange that my sister and I grew up at the same dinner table. She won't have anything to do with any food item that would fit in the casserole category. I, on the other hand, loved casseroles then and still love them today

TCB · « **Reply #105 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:24:38 PM »

Tuna casserole, shepherd's pie, chicken and rice -- they were all good! My favorite was her tamale pie. I think I have finally figured out her secret, so I am going to try making it again in a few weeks.

TCB · « **Reply #106 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:26:42 PM »

Of course, my sister also hates vegetables, which are often a large part of the casserole.

TCB · « **Reply #107 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:29:01 PM »

To this day, green beans are the only vegetable that my sister will even sample. I love most every vegetable, from lima beans to spinach.

TCB · « **Reply #108 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:30:20 PM »

Neither one of us is really a fruit eater, although I will eat a lot more than she will.

TCB · « **Reply #109 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:32:13 PM »

I have already forgotten today's topic, so I had better go check.

Ah yes, the Oscars!

TCB · « **Reply #111 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:35:22 PM »

There is a whole slew of Best Actor candidate this year. Someone is going to be snubbed.

TCB · « **Reply #112 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:39:44 PM »

Damn, I got kicked out of AOL. That very rarely happens to me.

Something is amiss with our dear readers in the evening. I just don't get it, frankly.

bk · « **Reply #114 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:40:49 PM »

But we have time for a frenzy or nine.

bk · « **Reply #115 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:41:10 PM »

Finished with my writing - did close to fourteen pages, so that's good.

Where in tarnation IS everyone?

bk · « **Reply #117 on:** January 13, 2015, 10:41:27 PM »

Ho hum.

A bitch-slapping we will go.
