I need a comedy tonight. So, it's Blithe Spirit. Not a perfect movie, but I have had this David Lean directs Noel Coward box set sitting here for a while.

Wow. Carindal took a dark - really dark - turn. Not sure if I would recommend it now to anyone with a weak stomach.

Emily in Paris now has a second season on Netflix, as well.

We re-watched Betty White's SNL episode. Funny stuff.

I have brought in maybe 15 plants. The weather is going from 80 into the 30s. Then tomorrow night it will drop into the 20s. It’ll be 80 again in a week.

Wow, such extremes.

Gavin MacLeod and Jay Sandrich from Mary Tyler Moore also died last year.

Up until reading this I thought Emily in Paris was a movie

Would someone please buy me the winning ticket for the $500 million Powerball? I'd be awfully grateful.

Marshall Harvey and Robert Yacko were the guests for food - the faux stroganoff went over very well and we had lots of fun chatter. I'll relax for a while and then try to perhaps do another three or four pages - I'm actually within spitting distance of finishing chapter one.

The stars of Blithe Spirit, Rex Harrison and Margaret Rutherford, hated the play. Director David Lean didn't get it and at the time, didn't like it. It's all sort of blandly fun. The play is better than the movie.

The play is too long. The first scene is longer than the Ice Age.

I just finished watching the first season of "Manifest" on NetFlix. It's more riveting now than when I first saw it. Knowing the crux of the story allows me to appreciate the nuances of the show.

Am so glad that it will get a fourth, and final, season on NetFlix

I was fortunate enough to see the road version with Angela Lansbury when it came to San Francisco a few years back. 2016, I believe. It was fun seeing it live.

I miss the Bay Area a great deal.

It would be prohibitively expensive to live there on my retirement.

My sinuses have been in overdrive since about 5 p.m. No matter what I do, they continue to be active and very inconvenient.

I, with zero guests, am alone in this here chat.

It's like I'm talking to myself. It's a bit different from dancing with myself, but it is odd.

I think I'm through writing for the day - twenty-three pages - but as you know, a few of those were already written, but I did so much revising of them that they were probably two-thirds new - so a really good day of writing. I'm already into chapter two.
