Yesterday, DR Catherine, her husband and I were on our way to their son's house.  His wife called to say there were white outs in that area so driving was very hazardous. We turned around.  It was disappointing but better safe than sorry.

Oy!  I read that as "there were white cats in that area."


LOL!

DR Laura, K9Kastle, the rescue group from whom I adopted Annabelle, posted today that that were happy to see little Horace adopted just before Christmas.  I think he would have been so happy with you.

White cats can be dangerous. Ask Siegfried and Roy.

I just picked up Thatch to hold him, and after a couple of minutes he got restless so I set him back in the cat tree.  As soon as I set him down, he jumped out of it and ran to rub against my legs. How the fat hell could I have ever decided to get  rid of him last week?

Feel better, Elmore. I'm pretty sure you didn't catch the crud from me. If you lived near me, I'd be worried about that.

Well, a lunchtime taco party has developed at our house for tomorrow.  Great nephew J, his parents, and grandma are coming at 1, which gives us a couple of hours to visit before Rob has to leave for work.

Back from a long and fun lunch with a fellow director out here visiting from NY.  We were going to meet at the Eclectic Cafe.  I arrived only to find out they have done away with their lunch hours and are only open in the evening.  Boo on them.  So, I walked up to the Federal and we met there for our three-hour lunch.  I had their excellent mac-and-cheese, and thankfully it was a very reasonable portion.  The new helper has come and gone and will now ship out the sale invoices so that's completely up to date..

Am now awaiting the arrival of Alby Potts for our work session, which really should only take an hour.

The guy from the gas company arrived relatively early, which I appreciated. He checked out the heater and stove. The heater's fine, but the oven isn't working and they can't fix it. He found something else wrong and took care of that. I'll pass on the information to the manager. It's been in the forties here at night, so I do need heat and am glad to have a periodic safety check.

I've never been a fan of superhero movies, but I do like the RIVERS OF LONDON series of novels. (There are a couple graphic novels in the series, too, but I haven't read them.) I don't usually read that genre, but I like this series.

Just received from Amazon:  a gently used copy of Michelle Nicastro's Reel Imagination: Classic Songs from Family Films.  I'm listening to it now and it's just delightful...which is not a surprise. ;D

Also received today were three limited edition CDs from Screen Archives:  Doctor Dolittle Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Expanded Soundtrack, David Shire's unused score to Apocalypse Now, and the limited edition 40th anniversary remastered soundtrack to Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

And you could sell your tickets and buy a <new car/house/vacation> with the money. Of course, Wae-Ling would be very unhappy.
