Now they are saying 125 people.

You'd better go out and buy some more cucumbers.

He surprised us yesterday by wanting dinner as well as lunch. He hasn't been up for dinner with us in years. And we went to the new aquarium in between, so he didn't get his usual nap.

Sounds wonderful.

Started a book today called Minor Black Figures by gay novelist Brandon Taylor. I hope it holds up, because the first quarter is like Edith Wharton’s best. The observations are brittle and apt, the social criticism is razor sharp, and the characters are all too human, which means they can’t end happily. Still, the ride is excellent so far.

I slept well with one major exception, which I will tell you about in a moment. I knew Amazon Fresh, thanks to yesterday's student, was coming between 6:00 and 8:00, so I was out of bed abnd dressed by 5:30. For the second time this week, Amazon Fresh was very earlyl it arrived around 6:15, delivered by the poorest delivery person ever. The jerk literaly threw the five bags at me while I was trying to stand, hold a cane and get the delivery organized. I will have a real earful on my scorecard today.

How rude! >:(

My brother in law Mike is really doing poorly. My sister, who never shares info, says the pacemaker is the only thing keeping him alive now. So, vibes and prayers appreciated.

IIRC, SALAD was a proposed spin-off of DALLAS -

In SALAD, a group of wealthy Texans go digging for oil - and vinegar.

TOD:  this was a particularly notable year in books by HHW-ers:  BK's Vegas Can Be Murder (which this household gave a five-star review) and the beautiful, page-turning Richard and Me, John G's Hill Country Winery Getaways (which in addition to being a terrific read and reference book, also makes for a fine stocking stuffer for the holidays - we've bought 7 copies so far for wine-loving friends) and Larry's Annabelle and Thatch, which surpassed even my already-high expectations.

And much appreciation to fellow DRs for their support of my new book this summer!

I did purchase the e-book to John's Hill Country Winery Getaways, but I haven't read it yet. ::)

As a member in good standing of the ACC (Annoying Cough Club), I drugged mine last night with the Tussin and the nighttime Nyquil, and had a solid sleep. I feel fine this morning, though still groggy. But it’s showtime, folks, and I must get myself into gear over the next several hours.

Vibes you still feel fine for the show.
