Now we're cooking with gas.

Good night, friends.

And others.

Tonight was the annual volunteer appreciation party at the Tobin, the theater I usher for.

The food was a mixed bag for me because it was partially like Thanksgiving in July: turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, rolls, carbs, carbs, carbs.

I had a thin slice of turkey and a dollop of cranberry sauce. Neither was all that appealing.

The roast beef was marginally better. The broccoli rabe was in a lousy sauce. The pickled jalapeno was wonderful.

So was the salad table with crudites. Fresh, delicious.

Sadly the desserts were mostly mediocre. Cake balls, mini cheesecakes, banana bread pudding, mini pineapple upside down cakes. I had a cake ball (too much frosting) and a tiny fruit tart that was good, so were the fresh berries.

The theme was Casino Royale with gambling. Boring.

John G. · « **Reply #220 on:** July 09, 2025, 09:18:12 PM »

It was fun talking with people. And I eventually danced, which was fun.

I won a prize from the raffle table. I took a pair of socks commemorating the musical Ain’t Too Proud.

John G. · « **Reply #222 on:** July 09, 2025, 09:20:20 PM »

So, aside from the food and the theme, I enjoyed myself. Putting on a tux in 90-degree weather isn’t fun.

A lot of people did not dress up. I think because of the heat.

That's great, John! Ours was just last month.

Darn. That's too bad.

I have Flonased. It does open up the sinuses quickly.

And that's a good thing.

I finished season two of Shooter and may as well stick it out till the bitter end, even though many sharks have been jumped.

New notes are written.

bk · « **Reply #230 on:** July 09, 2025, 11:40:11 PM »

They are ready to post, then I'll watch one more episode of Shooter, then go to bed.

bk · « **Reply #231 on:** July 09, 2025, 11:40:38 PM »

Very nice posting day.

Time for some red licorice.

bk · « **Reply #233 on:** July 09, 2025, 11:43:04 PM »

Just a few pieces.

bk · « **Reply #234 on:** July 09, 2025, 11:43:31 PM »

I just get to a Rite Aid and get more chocolate licorice.

bk · « **Reply #235 on:** July 09, 2025, 11:43:56 PM »

Hmmm - I wonder if Amazon carries it.

bk · « **Reply #236 on:** July 09, 2025, 11:44:07 PM »

Let's check.

bk · « **Reply #237 on:** July 09, 2025, 11:49:37 PM »

They do! Ordered. The vaporizer I ordered arrived, didn't work, and is getting returned, probably Friday. Instead, I got the small personal one where you stick your face on what looks like an oxygen mask.

bk · « **Reply #238 on:** July 09, 2025, 11:50:13 PM »

Hopefully, that one will work. It'll be here Friday.

Where have all the Georges gone?
