Freddie, you were part of HHW when Danise returned for our gathering, and you hosted us at the end of our Jose lead walking tour.

Was that the same trip that Elmore was talking about, that had gone so poorly for Danise?

An earlier trip.  She had a wonderful time with us.

I'm up, I'm up - since 7:30 - only about five hours of sleep but couldn't fall back asleep. I'll go do banking and shipping in about twenty minutes and get that over with.

Highs were some amazing trips we took this year. Low is work uncertainty for Mrs R that now has us regretting taking those trips.

No. This was later.

That's a big low.  Sending more job vibes.

Not the damn morning I wanted or needed. More about that later, but I have no voice left because I've been using it rather vociferously since 10:30 and am still using it on the phone now.

Rehearsal in fifty minutes - haven't eaten a damn thing so can't take pills - and this is the big pill day. I don't want to eat some crackers and take the pills, which means I don't eat or take pills until three when food will arrive.

Monday afternoon greetings!  It was great to visit with all who could attend last night’s Zoom.  Might we do it again some time for some general HHW chitchat?

Today I attended my Current Events Club holiday luncheon at the Presbyterian church near our old house.  Our entertainment was Purple Pizazz, the show choir from Middletown High School.

I was thinking the same last night. It had been too long. We should do it occasionally just to have the get-together.

Front and center was the daughter of my friend Suzy and granddaughter of our friend Sam.  She’s clearly the “Cassie” of the group - talk about command presence!

Yay, BK!  Let’s pretend we’re all back in New York gathered ‘round a table at Joe Allen or Barrymore’s.

he looks different; is it his hair?

No; probably just that I'm a lot heavier now.

Larry, you come across so well on Zoom with the cats dropping by every now and then - that I wonder if you found a friend in the business to do a Zoom interview with you about "Annabelle and Thatch,"  and you could just link to the video whenever you're pushing the book. No one would have to know that the video is self-produced.

Well, Jen just left after fiddling with my printer, purchased a year ago on October 31, and I believe it is dead. And to add insult to injury, I did not purchase a 3-year warranty. My body is falling apart but I'm too goddamned healthy for home healthcare, now my printer is dead and I hae no money to buy another. All I need now is the fucking choir to sing "End of a perfect day."

She's hoping it's the power cable, so she's checking for another and I'll hear from her tomorrow. I hate my life.

Ann had that idea back in August when the book came out, but, while she's a good lady, she follows through very little. It never happened, and when I start pushing things, they're screwed.
