It is 34 degrees outside.  I am surprised it is 60 degrees inside my office as it feels much colder.

Right now, it's 30° in Tumwater.

Well, I feel really stupid!  I just found out that CODA is an acronym for Child of Deaf Adult. i just thought that the film's title was an arcane reference to the film's musical themes.

Why should you feel stupid? I’d have thought you’d just feel ignorant.

Excellent distinction.

Had some tuna sandwiches - tiny ones on those tiny Hawaiian rolls - very good.

Shayne - I should think three separate movies would be the truest way to go - or perhaps do the first book as one film and the second two as one film. But yes, you could do it as a five or six part series like they do these days. Todd Haynes would be my director choice, although I think this new gal who did CODA has the right kind of temperament for it.Once upon a time I would have said Spielberg but now he's just being a copycat about it

I think I'll go to the mail place at six rather than now. It's raining out.

With the right dose of smart ass thrown in for good measure.

I had forgotten that CODA was one of those things......

Today is the second anniversary of Dad’s death. I do miss him.

[Jrand74]

this day has not stopped.....and neither have I until this moment.

I will tell that in my ENTIRE town....there is not one furnace filter that will fit in my furnace..... 14x24x1 ......  how hard can it be?

I had looked online and they all seemed to have them.....but I guess I didn't really check the IN STOCK box....

I was beginning to think I was going crazy and that I wasn't remembering the dimensions correctly.....  I am crazy - but the dimensions were correct.

[Jrand74]

I am now waiting for someone to bring me a piece of paper they want me to sign.

[Jrand74]

And on one of my sojourns today I found a CD at the Goodwill store that is violinist Joshua Bell playing some Leonard Bernstein tunes, including a West Side Story suite.

So I think I will play that and choreograph it for tomorrow - to entertain myself.

[Jrand74]

The arrangement is by William David Broun and it was recorded in London in England, Europe.

[ChasSmith]

Bravo!

[ChasSmith]

DR Jrand71, I, too, have a piece of paper I'd like you to sign.

Just leave those other parts blank. I'll fill them in later.

[ChasSmith]

That's something we should pick up for the weekend. The tiny Hawaiian rolls.

I used to have that CD. Maybe I still do.

I’m taking off work early.

In other news, I just made cranberry sauce to add to the New Year's Eve snacks. I started that tradition last year because I love the stuff anyway, and it carries over a nice holiday touch to end them with.

I made this one with dark sweet cherries, something I've wanted to do since a friend brought that over some years ago and it was so damned delicious. I hope mine turns out to be damned delicious, too.

[George]

[ChasSmith]

The other thing I now insist on having on the table is black eyed peas. I only learned about that tradition a few years ago, and it's a fun one. Of course, I also happen to love black eyed peas.

[ChasSmith]

I didn't know that about CODA, either!

Nice photo.  Sending hugs.

[John G.]

I want some, ChasSmith. Do you deliver?

[John G.]

I love a cranberry-sweet cherry pie.

[John G.]

Thank you, Jane.
