I don't remember if you were still posting here or not at that time, DR Ron, but when Kerry passed away, his partner invited me to come into his home and choose some items to remember him by. Sandra and I chose some paintings and art deco items. I noticed that the Kitchenaid mixer was still in the kitchen. I hesitated to ask for a utilitarian item, but I did speak up and said that I would use it. Dennis said that of course I should take it; he had thought of it earlier, but forgot it until I mentioned it. I use it quite a bit.

And that is lovely!  I did not remember the details about his death, but knew he died.  That was the year I retired from County service (July 29), so I was an active participant here.  I know that you were good friends and wondered if your comment today about using a mixer was a nod toward his memory.

FWIW, my birth year (1948) was a rat year.

Well, I can barely hold my eyes open any longer.  An interesting day, but also with its middling aspects.

Sigh.

Good night.

Listening to Puccini and I don't care who knows it. Also, eating some pasta with butter and cheese.

Today is the centennial anniversary of the 1922 murder of silent screen director William Desmond Taylor...a crime that changed Hollywood forever...and has never (officially) been solved.

My book, MURDER IN BABYLON, provides the solution for this mystery that they still write about.

https://www.amazon.com/Murder-Babylon-Novel-Based-Fact/dp/1593937822/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1417637368&sr=1-2&keywords=murder+in+babylon


And it is a fantastic book.  I enjoyed it immensely.  I highly recommend it all DR’s.  I have told a great many people about it.

Kerry was a very sweet man.  He is missed.

Yes it is the year of the Tiger!  I was born in 1950 - a Tiger Year - so here we are.....it can be a good thing....then again....NOT.

If you birthday this year is evenly divided by 12 you were also born in a year of the Tiger....12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96......

My brother Kent who was born in 1962 was also born in a year of the Tiger.


 I’m confused.  Do you mean that if our age this year is divided by 12, we were born in the year of the tiger? Because I was also born in 50, which is not divisible by 12.  However, I knower I was born in the year of the tiger.

I accomplished all I wanted to do - vacuum, make the bed, kitty cleanup, and recyclables to the basement - by 11:00. At that point my legs said, no more. The severe pain is in my right ankle. So, I lay down with the cats and just got up to answer a few emails.


Larry, I have to ask.  If you know you are going to go back to bed, why do you bother to make your bed?

I’m a tiger, too.

According to this I too am a tiger, however, I have always been told I was a rat.


You are a rat.  And I mean that in the nicest way.

Sorry. I guess that was pretty dark. Although that's how I'm feeling at the moment.


Lighten up my friend!🥰

Finished the Balanchine documentary. Wonderful flick. I really loved seeing footage of these dancers learning a piece when they were younger and then showing the steps to the next generation. They all seemed to have learned their lessons well.

What is the name of the Balanchine documentary?  I am wondering if my former friend is in it?

Tonight I watched the Betty white special that they aired the other night.  I laughed a great deal, and I cried a great deal, too.

Well, I am tired of talking to myself.  I think I will either post more photos of Jimmy Garoppolo OR I will go to bed.

This is becoming far too regular an occurrence and it occurs far too regularly.
