Well, you've read the notes, the notes said farewell and hello, and now it is time for you to post until the farewell and hello cows come home.

Today, I need to go into work and get some checks that need to be mailed and take them to the post office because our building is going to be closed again. Fortunately, I live close to my work, and there's a post office just a few blocks away, too, so it won't take very long at all.

Then, at some point today, I'll also go to a friend's open house birthday party. Her birthday is actually today! She and her husband live less than a couple of miles away, so it'll all be very level driving. I'll definitely be home long before midnight.

Have a very happy and safe New Year's Eve Day, everyone!!

Good morning, friends.

I'm not sad to see 2021 go.

Good morning, all!

Thank God this year is nearly over. I'm hoping for three things this year:
1. No new cancer
2. hip replacement
3. the recording project comes through

It would be nice, too, if some work showed up or that damned property in Ohio finally sold after 15 years.

I'm doing little as possible today, but I have a carton from Chewy.com to unpack, and then there's whatever fresh hell waits for me in the mail room.

Today is the seventh day of Christmas, and here's another selection from Moonshine & Mistletoe:

I don't know if I'll live long enough to see a professional production of this show! Ten years ago I thought I'd be living off royalties from it.

DR TCB, the hell you are currently in has been my nightmare for some time. How soon will you be able to get home?

Still loving DR Elmore's Days of Christmas selections, and this is a particularly beautiful one.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #21 on:** December 31, 2021, 05:47:23 AM »

It feels almost perverse, but all three of us here are delighted that

(1) We'll be having our standard New Year's Eve par-tay tonight, and
(2) No one's coming!

Kristi will be holding down the Zoom session with our usual suspects (that's her thing, anyway), I'll be popping in here every so often, we'll enjoy the snacks and watching our balls drop, and it will be a totally non-stressful time.

And yes, the Ohio property.

From your keyboard to the universe's ears, DR Elmore.

Good morning, all.

I feel that it is Friday, well and truly.

I like it when a day feels like itself.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #24 on:** December 31, 2021, 06:07:06 AM »

It's a landmark day for 2021.

It's the Ultimo Finale in a way.

I have no plans, no goals, no bills to pay.

I have food in the cabinets, the refrigerator and in the freezer.

I am blessed beyond measure.

And yet, I am glad to be at the backside of 2021.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #25 on:** December 31, 2021, 06:07:53 AM »

Nice slate of releases, BK.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #26 on:** December 31, 2021, 06:09:11 AM »

I don't know if any of you have seen the Netflix series "Stranger Things".

I have recently started watching it and am almost at the end of Season 2.

Very weird.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #27 on:** December 31, 2021, 06:14:54 AM »

A day or so ago, I saw (for the first time -- and last) the movie "Joker" with Joaquin Phoenix.

I nearly gave up watching it in the first five minutes. They felt it necessary to introduce the character's medical condition before giving us any context for it. I was very annoyed by it and was just about to move to another channel when the makers of the movie let me see that the character was not in control of his outrageous giggling.

From there, I was riveted by one thing. Phoenix's performance was astonishing. The film isn't all that great and goes on and on when it should have pulled back. But, Phoenix held me to the very end. I will never watch the film again, but my memories of the Joker will remain.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
