I had two - yes, 2 -- grilled cheese sammiches for lunch.

I went to the post office, made a quick stop at the local small grocery establishment to "stock up" in case the weekend precludes me getting out, and then stopped at The Triangle to pick up and pay for my sammiches.

Did all of this in 30 minutes.

I could have made the sammiches myself, but sometimes it's better to eat something someone else has prepared.

FWIW, I make better grilled cheese than The Triangle.

So sad to be all alone on this site. Not even a smirking, lurking guest.

Back from an omelet at Hugo's, picking up no packages, Gelson's, and now it's time to futz and finesse.

My HHW dream last night:

A bunch of us were in this movie theater. The house lights were still up. The theater was a large one decked out in red, like the larger Plitt at Century City back in the day, or the Ziegfeld in Manhattan. We were all together in one reserved section in the "stadium" seating in the back half, but the theater at this point was still empty except for us. I was remarking that DR Jrand71 should be about to arrive, when I realized that he was, in fact, there. He was about five inches in height, so he was seated in this little sling of sorts. We were all getting into a nice chat when my tossing and turning from a lower back ache, and the need to visit the Necessary, woke me up. The End.

Oh -- the one other identifiable person was DR vixmom who, by the bye, I would say has been a little E&T in these parts.

Saturday afternoon greetings! We are about to watch the Cincinnati Bengals do something they haven’t done in a very long time - play a playoff game.

Great story near the end of All About Me! Mel Brooks turned down the Kennedy Center Honors the first time he was offered it because it was during Bush Jr.'s administration. Brooks was opposed to the war and said no. When offered the award again by Obama, he said yes.

Sondheim did likewise for political reasons.

Somebody has taken hostages at a synagogue in northeast Texas.

Futzed and finessed. I was actually surprised that there wasn't more to do, but I was pretty happy with what I read.

Then I wrote four new pages. I'll take a little break, then try to write another six. That will leave me between five and ten pages left to finish the chapter I'm on, which is probably the most important in the book.

Caught up with episode two of All Creatures. Very funny, very satisfying.

John G. · « **Reply #73 on:** January 15, 2022, 03:03:53 PM »

Sadly, the hostage situation seems to be continuing. The synagogue is considered to be outside of Dallas.

Tonga has just been hit by a tsunami, following a massive eruption of a underwater volcano.

It is amazing how many countries now have Tsunami warnings.

It's global warming! It's Climate Crisis!! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!

DR JANE that was a terrible story about the playground.....people!

I know.

Fortunately we have a little swing/climbing play area walking distance from us.

Mel Brooks has just mentioned former DR Charles Pogue.

Nice.

I am not sure global warming caused the volcano to erupt which in turn caused the Tsunami and threatened more Tsunamis

DR John, I finished Hell of a Book. Thank you for suggesting it. I have a question about the ending, which I suspect you can guess. I had better send a PM.

A good Facebook friend we met through genealogy posted his relief at finding out his friends did not go to temple today. They are sick or they too would be hostages

All the vibes worked-thanks.

While I still have allergies I don't feel as if they might turn into a cold. Hopefully I won't get worse again.

The weather & covid did not delay the kids flights. Since they were on time they were able to meet us at the playground for awhile before heading to meet friends on Mt. Hood.

It is quiet here.

I never truly appreciated our Fred Meyer until I shopped at the one on the other side of town. Keith dropped me off to shop while he got the car washed. Not knowing where everything was at this location I paid more attention to the store. It took me forever to find what I was looking for, in fact we will get what we missed at our local one tomorrow. I need to pick up a script anyway.

Jane · « **Reply #88 on:** January 15, 2022, 06:13:28 PM »

I did buy the last two packages of diapers.
