Around this time one of the guys decided to grab something out of his trunk, so he opened the trunk rummaged around and got whatever it was and slammed the lid

I am currently reading Featherhood: A Memoir of Two Fathers and a Magpie by Charlie Gilmour.  I think all you bird lovers here would appreciate it.

I did enjoy that.

I got another stack of movies today from the library that I'm looking forward to watching: Judas and the Black Messiah, Merrily We Go to Hell and Nomadland.

Had dinner with friends tonight. We planned our trip to Rockport in 16+ days. Can hardly wait to get out of town.

We watched Episode 1 of One Lane Bridge tonight.  Thanks, DR Jeanne!  I think we're really going to enjoy this one.

Started watching a Humphrey Bogart movie called Black Legion, about a Klan-type group trying to save America from the "ferriners." It's a little too topical. I may have to watch the last half tomorrow.

It's about a swan.

And a lake.

I seem to have read that somewhere.

Well, I am now leaving work and heading to Fred Meyer to actually do some shopping, not just to see if (or how many) people are wearing masks. 

I'll report back later!

I finally got to register for Roundabout's Harvey. I'll watch it this weekend, I hope.

That was a great story and I have no doubt you are the coolest mom. But I was expecting you to pick the lock and let the guy into his car that way.
