It got quite chilly last night and my bed as full of cats, all trying to keep warm. I could barely move  I did sleep well, though.

My wonderful neighbor Ann stopped by yesterday and we shared health insurance horror stories. I really love her and it was a nice visit.

I finished James Lapine's book last night, and then I watched the first act of the PBS Great Performances DVD of Sunday in the Park With George. I had watched it on VHS many years ago, but I'd never seen the DVD. I had forgotten how wonderful the show was, and it brought back so many memories: the day Steve cowered in the hall while Patricia talked to Foxy, getting high with him at an NYC Gay Men's Chorus party, gossiping with him in the balcony of Alice Tully Hall, the Sunday matinee of the Sunday in the Park workshop, disliking the third performance on Broadway and loving it several weeks after the opening, the Pulitzer win and the party at Steve's a month after that. He was such a major part of my life between 1982 and 1988 or so.

General Colin Powell has died from Covid. Pity it wasn't Trump.

The word on Patricia is that she is undergoing physical therapy for at least another month. She is more communicative with my friend Carol now that she’s getting past her nicotine addiction. She seems ready for the fight ahead.

Thanks, DR JohnG! Would you mind asking your friend if she would ask Patricia if I could have her email address? If I'm trned down, that's fine, but I would love to be in communication with her.

I love Panic Room, and I've only ever seen it on either cable, originally, or the DVD. It's been a mystery why it hasn't yet made it to Blu-ray. I have the regular set, and the SuperBit DVD -- but I believe it's that particular SuperBit release that's a bit (see what I did there?) of a disappointment. For some reason they either didn't Super it high enough, or it just needs a good up-to-date scan and proper transfer. But what an amazing and suspenseful film.

Nice reminiscences, DR Elmore!

Make sure you include them in your own book.

Colin Powell's death has a lot of people freaked out.
How did he even get Covid in the first place? Inquiring minds want to know.

I am really p.o'd. about this: 

I was a latecomer to Panda Express. We only had it in the local mall, and I figured it was "only" a mall type of chain and I just put off trying it. Also, in my mall-going days, I didn't apparently go there very often on an empty stomach, and I hadn't had a "mall meal" in some years. So it wasn't until just a few years ago that I had finally had it with all the recommendations, and I made a point of going in and eating it, right there, hot and fresh.

It was delicious, and I vowed to be a stranger no more.

And then Covid happened, and no one went anywhere for months. And in the meantime they were renovating the food court at the mall, and then I read that the Panda Express was closing. That was several months ago, and I just checked again, and the closest one to me now is some 25-30 miles away. I can't get their website to just give me a complete list of locations; you have to search one area at a time. Idiots. So -- a mall near Milford, CT; then Yonkers, the Bronx, and Broadway at 111th St. Those are the closest ones they give me for my zip code, damn it to HELL.

Now that the retrograde has ended:

Solutions are easier to find under this balanced energy, and it’s suddenly much easier to get others to cooperate and see things from your perspective. You also get a massive and much-needed dose of Libran charm to help you smooth things over. Even if you got to a point that you think you can’t return from, Mercury direct in Libra gives you hope that things will someday go back to “normal.”

DR JOHN G in fact my brother Dane bought one of those 70" televisions and he loves it.  It is most impressive.

He likes watching sports on it but he really likes watching SPACE movies on it.....

Of course he has room for it.

My latest purchased almost a year ago is a TLC 55" - and I might be able to go up to a 65" - but I don't think I have room for the 70" model!
