Mr. Postman just delivered a couple of final packages related to the Indiegogo.  Good times, man.  Great stuff.

[ChasSmith]

Thatch's eyes are lookin so much better.  No gunky drainage sealing the 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.

This is such great news.  The eye stuff is so hard to get rid of.  We never did eradicate Poe's little kitty virus gunk that reappears in his right eye every few months.  (Fortunately, it's nothing severe.)  The vet had warned us that sometimes those things stick around and make themselves known occasionally, but maybe we could have worked it better and longer and conquered it back then.

Henry Diltz taking them makes sense - I posted here a Polaroid I took when everyone was boarding the ship and he's in the background of one of those shots.  I sent it to him on Facebook but he never responded.  But that doesn't answer the question of how Amy got them - from Henry personally?

Oh, and I'm up - maybe six hours of sleep.

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 am. I am giving her the ticket as a thank you for all the hard work she does in these projects I do. She's a good worker. She will get it after the first week of January.

I was just interested to see what the tickets are going for.

I did my first Fitbit walk for a couple of weeks -- since I got that nasty virus that is circulating. Don't laugh at me -- I walked the mall, since I am still recovering.

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.

Thank you.

A couple of questions I was asked and forgot to answer.

The crawdads on the Christmas tree were cookies. I made them as a joke. They are tasty cookies.

Re adopting a cat: amazingly, it looks like most of the cats at the pound were adopted before Christmas. Also, my DH didn't look too thrilled when he saw the certificate.

Very interesting DR AMY.  Thanks for sharing the information.

[Jrand74]

Forty five minutes after I placed my order at Papa John's, they are finally baking my pizza.  They must be BUSY today.

I liked the Christopher Reeve SUPERMAN with a couple of BIG exceptions....

The Krypton section of the movie was ridiculous....even with Marlon Brando as Jor-el.  The design was atrocious.....

AND in the end....Superman flew around the world quickly so that he could reverse time and save Lois.....not a word was said about how such traveling back in time affected ANYONE else in the world.....and you know it would have.

[Jrand74]

DR JANE I shared a dining car photo for you yesterday....

[Jrand74]

Here's another.

Got DUNKIRK for tonight.

I posted the following on FB a couple of hours ago.

Somebody suggested that it was one of the 3 Red Skelton WHISTLING movies, but another said it wasn't.

Not being a Skelton fan, I have not seen them.

I saw this film over 70 years ago.  Would like to know what it is before I go.  (Don't worry.  I'm not planning to leave anytime soon.) 

Anybody?

Here is a movie question that can probably only be answered by somebody who has seen every movie that's ever been made. 😉

Back when I was very young in the mid-1940s, I saw a movie with a final (or near final) scene that I've never forgotten.

As I recall, there were a couple of people, the bad guys, locked in the basement of a house and they were drowning because the basement was filling with water. (No, I don't think it was a ship. It was a basement.)

Any ideas as to what this film might be?

Annabelle's chronic sneezing concerns Dr Mohr, so she is now on Azithromycin, and we'll see if it works.  She weighs 8 lbs, and her conjunctivitis is all cleared up.

I've been looking at Hamilton tickets. After several minutes of searching, I found orchestra seats, not nearly as good as mine, on a Wednesday night for over $1200 each.

O.M.G.!! Good for you for not paying $1200 a ticket!

Good news about the conjunctivitis, at least!

~~~Vibes for No More Sneezing for Annabelle!!~~~

Nice notes......I live far away from many homes that I have lived in, but I can drive by THREE of them....they look pretty much the same...but I don't.

Other than the places I lived in Bellingham while going to college, I can easily drive to all the places that I've lived while living in the Olympia/Lacey/Tumwater area.  One place is right down the street from where I live now.  Another is right next door to where my sister lives now (she used to own that house before she had built the house she's living in now).  And the other is my parents' house, where they've been living for 41 years.  I haven't been to the other two places in quite a while, but they're close to places that I go on a fairly regular basis, so I just might see what they're like now.

[George]

Here's another.

Very nice!

[George]

Jane, I showed my sister the picture of the elephants and she was so jealous!  She also thought that it was so cool that you got to go and you're actually there!

[John G.]

The flamingos picture was the one that really got to me.

Hello from frigid West Seneca, NY!     It's currently 10 degrees.  Not sure what the wind chill factor is.   

[KevinH]

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.

[KevinH]

Later we watched Forget-Me-Not Lane, which I had bought when it was recently discussed on HHW. 

[KevinH]

We enjoyed it, especially BK's performance.  Great accent, Bruce!   DR Catherine also said to mention how cute you were!

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

[elmore3003]

I am feeling worse.  some soup, some vitamin C, and bed.

[KevinH]

Glad to hear that Annabelle and Thatch are doing better, DR Elmore.  Hope her sneezing stops.
