I watched No Way Out last night.

Hadn't seen it in many a year. It's very entertaining and surprising.

Which No Way Out? Costner? Poitier? Other?

[Rodzinski]

I am thankful for page 3.

Ann and Jen took Jen's niece to the parade this morning.  Ann stopped by to say hello and took this photo of Stella up in the bookshelves.

Love that photo!

Is he related to Sam Butera?

That would be interesting if so!

This is what wikipedia says:

"Ariana Grande-Butera was born on June 26, 1993, in Boca Raton, Florida. She is the daughter of Joan Grande, the Brooklyn-born CEO of Hose-McCann Communications, a manufacturer of marine communications equipment owned by the Grande family since 1964, and Edward Butera, a graphic design firm owner in Boca Raton. Grande is of Italian descent and has described herself as an Italian American with Sicilian and Abruzzese roots. She has an older half-brother, Frankie Grande, who is an entertainer and producer. Her family moved from New York to Florida before her birth, and her parents separated when she was eight or nine years old. Grande had a close relationship with her maternal grandmother, Marjorie Grande."

Happy Thanksgiving, all.

Off to prepare the chestnuts for the stuffing.

From DR Singdaw,

I had to use the utmost self-restraint to keep from yelling out, "FISH?"

[Jane]

From DR John,

Tonight’s Thanksgiving Eve dinner was wonderful. I have been getting together with these friends for 24 or 25 years.

Such a nice, long tradition with your friends.

The Costner was on TCM late last night. I watched The China Syndrome and very much enjoyed seeing that after several years, but didn't have it in me to tackle the later ones this time. Would have enjoyed this, though.

Happy Thanksgiving!

DR George, what a saga from yesterday and all you got for it was a microwave.  Vibes the water valve can be found and doesn't need replacing.

[Jane]

From George,

Wow...it's been a while since Keith has needed all six guesses.  But good that he got it!

You know he was relieved-lol.  Lucky for him, there was only one word left to use when he got to the sixth line.

[Jane]

No one knew where our water shutoff valve was when we moved in here. There is a  main curbside one, but you really want to use one at the house. I was able to find it in the deep recesses of our crawlspace, which, luckily, is more of a walking-around space. I hope your mom’s place has one other than the street one.

That seems like an odd place.

A friend of Mrs Rodz is in town. We’ll take her on a tour of Vancouver and eat at a restaurant there. Likely no turkey this year. What I eat most, traditionally, is mashed potatoes and corn. I do not ever eat cranberry gunk.

Another person who stays away from the cranberry gunk

[Jane]

So there's Sassy and Wae-Ling.

Great

I had a weird night of sleep / no sleep. At 10 pm I was ready to call it a night, having had a very active and hectic day. I turned off the light and fell asleep in pretty short order. I woke up, thinking it was nearly morning... at 11:17 pm. Lordy. Then back to sleep, again waking briefly a couple more times, until 2:48 when I got up to use the necessary. And then... and then... I lay there wide awake... until sometime after 5:00 am when I mercifully fell asleep and finally awoke at 8:00 am.

Welcome to my world.

I went to sleep just after 10:00 and woke up at 10:30.  I did finally get back to sleep around 2:30.

[Jane]

Tomorrow I am having my labs redone as set up in August.

Good result vibes.

Is there a "story" about Sam Butera?

We have a water room inside our condo and can easily turn the water off, which we do before we travel.  In the garage there is something that can be pulled to turn the water off for our unit and the two units above us.  That is in case the neighbors above us are flooding us with water.

Hmm, this sounds like a situation where, if neighbors really disliked each other, this could be a clue in a detective movie.

I'm up, I'm up - about five and a half hours of sleep.

I cancelled the Wechters - the thought of a forty-minute drive each way was not appealing when I'm this trashed.

I was able to get a table at nearby El Torito for their Thanksgiving buffet thing, which dear reader Jeanne and I have done and I was hoping she'd come up but she's not up to it. Trying to find someone who's not doing anything, otherwise I'll change it to just me and go over there at three.

[bk]

I'd go back to bed but I think I'd sleep all day.

Good call.
