Ron!

My only regret about your retiring and moving home is that we no longer get your Christmas vacation updates.

Wae-Ling was happy with her Hamilton CD. But I think she was hoping for a ticket.

I thought you were giving her one of your tickets?

I'm on my second cuppa coffee.  I've noticed that Thatch's fear is two hands that can possibly grab him.  As long as I only use one hand to pet him while he rubs against my leg, he's in heaven.  If he senses two hands approaching him, he panics and runs under the bed,

I have to make the bed, empty the litter, put their toys away, and vacuum.  I've got Me and My Girl waiting on me, and I want to leave here no later than 2:15 for Annabelle's appointment.

Captain America - I think there are three in the series out now.

Iron Man - There are two or three of them as well.

I "so" do not want to go out there today.  But at some point I must spend some time (hopefully no more than, say, fifteen minutes?) with the snow shovel, cleaning up some edges where the plow (bless that man) went by yesterday.  And I must take the trash and recycling cans down to the road for their crack of dawn pickup tomorrow.

I seem to have found one decent copy of THE CRUCIBLE vocal score for $50.  Ridiculous, but it beats the $150-$300 ones.  As I consider pulling the trigger, I wonder why I haven't gotten lucky with this one at, say, a library sale, like I have with the likes of DESTRY RIDES AGAIN?  Huh?  Why?  I ask you.

Edit:  I will get lucky, silly.  At next summer's sales, providing I buy this one.

T.O.D.

Once I grew up, I never really cared much for superhero movies.

If I can find a copy at RedBox, we'll probably watch DUNKIRK tonight.

Those men were "superheroes".

Always loved that film.

Thatch's eyes are looking so much better.  No gunky drainage sealing them shut and the pinkness is going away.  His oral medication Azithromycin had its fifth day, so he has three days off of it, then a day of medicine, then three days off, and the last dose.  I'm going to ask Dr Mohr today to refill his Terramycin.  I want to be sure we've knocked the conjunctivitis out of him. I'm hoping Annabelle gets an all-clear, since it's time these babies were healthy.

Tuesday morning greetings!  Fr. Richard has been to Dayton and back to deliver the sermon at this morning's "Feast of Stephen" sermon at Christ the King.  I have washed, dried, and put away the crystal stemware we used for Christmas dinner and done all the other hand dishwashing.  Our kitchen looks much better after several days of messing it up with baking and such.

The photos on the cruise ship were taken by famous rock photographer, Henry Diltz. He's shot many wonderful images of so many iconic rock and roll legends, like Jackson Browne, The Doors, Crosby Stills and Nash, Jim Hendrix, Dan Fogelberg, Joni Mitchell, etc. etc. But what many people don't know is that he followed David Cassidy around on two world tours, so he actually has more images of him than anyone else. Although he probably sells less images of David than anyone else. Anyway, he also shot thousands of photos of The Monkees because he was on the set of the TV show shooting about 10 rolls a day for two years. But his contract was written so that he didn't get to keep most his own negatives from those photo shoots. I doubt any photographer would sign a contract like that today.

TOD:
I love superhero movies! Those are the only movies Mark and I see in actual theaters. And I always make sure they're in 3-D, otherwise I figure I'll just watch it at home on cable TV in three years. The "Justice League" movie was widely panned, but I enjoyed it. The problem is that they haven't made any movies of some of those characters like the Flash and Aquaman, so we weren't familiar with them, so the movie had to introduce them in a hurry. I don't know why the industry has made so many Superman, Batman, and Spiderman movies, but they neglected so many other characters.
It's hard to pick a favorite. I agree with Jrand67 that the Captain America and Ironman movies were very good. I also enjoyed Batman with Val Kilmer, and Spiderman with Tobey Maguire. I couldn't stand Christian Bale as Batman, but I did like the "Batman Begins" movie very much. As a kid, I loved the first Superman movie with Christopher Reeves and saw it in the theater probably three times. I also like Henry Cavill as Superman.
