Considering what has been happening in Beverly Hills recently I think they made the right decision.

[John G.]

Vodka (or the poison of one's choice) definitely sounds like the way to go tonight. 

(I only ever drink it in Bloody Marys, myself. James Bond be damned, my Martinis are gin, thank you very much.)

And you have actual martinis, like a real connoisseur and gentleman.

[Jrand74]

Sorry to hear that news DR GINNY.  Vibes!

[Jrand74]

DR CHAS SMITH mine comes on different days of the week, but always the same day of the month.

[Jrand74]

I am making some chicken and noodles......

[Jrand74]

Well......most of the work was already done......but I am in charge of the range.

[Ginny]

Thank you to DRs John G, ChasSmith, KevinH, Elmore, Laura, and JRand for the expressions of sympathy.  I really wish I could hug Rebecca.

[Ginny]

I enjoyed reading about DR GINNY's trip.....I hope she waved as she went through Indiana.

I din, indeed, DR JRand!  That’s a wild ride around Indianapolis on I-465.

[Jane]

Thank you to DRs John G, ChasSmith, KevinH, Elmore, Laura, and JRand for the expressions of sympathy.  I really wish I could hug Rebecca.

That not being able to hug people is so hard 

[ChasSmith]

DR Jrand70, in view of the extra takes, just imagine if you had been cast in a Stanley Kubrick film.

[Ginny]

Thank you, DR Jane.  I’m on my way to the florist to have something sent to her.  Then we’re picking up groceries and coming home to wait out Election Day.

I like that you can go to the shop and choose the flowers in person.  I haven't done that since we left Ashland.

It wasn’t so much that I wanted to select the flowers as I wanted to include my own handmade sympathy card with them.  They were very accommodating and tomorrow Rebecca will receive a nice mixed planter with some fresh flowers added in.

[Jennifer]

Tuesday afternoon greetings. 

As if 2020 hadn’t already been bad enough, I learned this morning that my friend Rebecca’s husband died on Friday.  He had broken the same hip twice since August 6 and undergone 2 surgeries while battling Parkinson’s and other health issues.  She wasn’t in any shape to share details on the phone this morning, but I did pick up that they were at a hospital (rather than the rehab where he’d been) and that their minister was with them.  He had just turned 74 on Tuesday.

RIP, James.

Oh no I'm so sorry for your friend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Ginny]

DR Ginny, I'm sorry to hear of your friend Rebecca's  husband's death.

You’ll remember her as Becky from when you lived here.  She and I had parallel jobs at the Hamilton and Middletown campuses.

[Ginny]

Thank you, DR Jennifer.

Condolences to Ginny.

Jane, yes I saw - nauseating.  And let me reiterate that the ONLY violence or looting that would happen will be coming from these right-wing fringe groups that always do that - and then everyone blames the left and Antifa, like that was an organization - it's what they do and the fact that people believe it's the BLM and left is really something.  But I think if the outcome is Biden, these people will slink back into their holes.

[Ginny]

Condolences to Ginny.

Thank you, BK.

These Trumpers are no better than roaches. Fetch the Raid!

I succumbed, oh, yes, I succumbed to the perishables.  I got four ten-inch pepperoni pizzas from a place called Regina - very well known and loved pizza place somewhere.  I stuck them in the freezer, which you must do immediately if you're not going to eat them right away, but an hour later I succumbed and took one out, pre-heated the oven to 400 and put it directly on the oven rack as instructed.  It actually heated up in seven minutes, and it was pretty great, I must say - very fresh, great flavor, just the right amount of pepperoni, and my new pizza cutter did a great job.  I'd already looked up the calorie count of a ten-inch pepperoni and it's just under 1000.  I'll see if the ground beef still okay tomorrow - it should be, really.

[Freddie]

Ginny, I was so sorry to read the terrible news. 

This is even more difficult  not being able to gather together, but I'm sure your friend Rebecca knows the love from all of those close to her.

[Freddie]

BK - I got your email.  We'll be sure to watch on Sunday.

[Ginny]

Ginny, I was so sorry to read the terrible news.

Thank you, DR Freddie.  Rebecca and her husband have always been very private people, so I suspect even in “normal” times there would have been very little gathering together.

[John G.]

DR Jrand70, in view of the extra takes, just imagine if you had been cast in a Stanley Kubrick film.

I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

[elmore3003]

I've got my dishes and the cats' to clean up, and then I'm settling in for the duration.  I'll catch you all in the morning.

[Jrand74]

While I was making my chicken & Noodles.....I ate three cookies, a banana, a biscuit, and an ice cream sandwich.

For some reason, now I'm not hungry.

[ChasSmith]

I did that yesterday while making guacamole. I was starving. And then suddenly I wasn't.

[Jane]

I forgot about your homemade cards.  The arrangement sounds lovely.

Good Afternoon - I am home, the boys are still at camp so it's a quiet apartment.  Finally left work today calm, cool and collected.  We are on our way to getting our internet working properly.  (and as I type this, the boys are home) and today it was smooth sailing.  There was a Christmas morning "calm" as I wondered in and out of the classrooms making sure everyone could hear, see, etc.  I'll finish some work and then settle in with the TV on and I think I can go through boxes while I watch the election results trickle in. 

[Jane]

I hope we find out that you are correct and they slink back into their holes.

LOL of course you succumbed.  I am glad it was worth it.
