Mother’s Day greetings!  Yesterday I received flowers from Rob and his family.  Last night that family grew with the arrival of George Walter Palmer!

Congrats to the entire Palmer family...but especially the parents!

And great name, by the way. ;)

Thanks, glad you like it!  George was Mary Linda’s maternal grandfather and Walter was Rob’s maternal grandfather (my father).  That kind of undid me for a minute last night…

That is truly special.

Suppose I'll try to find a movie to watch.

Still full.

I'm stuffed, plus I didn't get out for a walk today.

Watching the rest of The Man Who Wasn’t There. I remembered next to nothing, especially the ending.

Anne Baxter’s grandfather was Frank Lloyd Wright? Why can I not wrap my head around this?

Four Ladies at Auditions - that's the title of my next three-act play.

Sounds like it would be a fun show to see!

What the effing eff?!? :o

MAGA tried to bribe Cardinals

But I'm absolutely NOT surprised! ::)

Not surprising at all.  I didn't realize that 80% of the cardinals eligible to vote were put there by Pope Francis.

I didn't know that, either.  Glad he was able to get that done. ;)

On the way home we did a quick stop at Best Buy to return our purchases since Keith found what he had originally wanted at Costco, and we have credit there so it was a big savings.

I went to Costco yesterday in preparation for today's meal (and game of Phase 10) at my mom's, and I had a gift card from my birthday.  I used my Costco gift card to buy Subway gift cards!

That may seem counter-intuitive, but the Subway (and many other kinds of) gift cards cost $79.99, but you get $100 in value!  And if I use them with coupons, double score!

Of course, it would have to have expired in 1994. ::)

Most importantly, I opened the Word doc of the book I'm thinking about writing - book two this year - I've been waffling whether to write it at all, frankly, or whether to make it about more than it's about.

I read the three pages i'd written and I was very surprised at how much I liked the feel of them. So, I think I've made my decision to write it - I don't need to be in a hurry and I do think it will be a fairly short book, maybe 150 to 170 pages, book layout-wise. But it will be what it will be. Another thing I'll be writing before starting this is a chapter on directing Drat! The Cat! My plan is to write additional chapters on shows I direct and then do a second edition of the book at some point, but in the meantime, make the extra chapters available for reading and downloading online. What do you think?
