We are expecting rain on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

After I do Wordle, I watch a guy play it on Youtube. We use completely different strategies.

Good for you.

I use the same three words every time to find and/or rule out the common letters. I usually guess it after that.

If you get really lucky, one day your starter word will be the Wordle word for the day.

I'm glad you are sharing your score.

That is interesting.  Keith looks up the stats on the word.  I don't think he has ever watched anyone play it.

I asked Keith.  He said after he plays he goes to Tom's Wordle.  He started to show me and stopped quickly as it is already Dec. 23rd wherever Tom is.

And I always forget the word, so it's like playing it again.

I had a three day burst of energy, probably due to a combination of chocolate and panick of all I needed to acomplish.  I even got up early this morning to get things done, including writing and mailing my last three Christmas cards.  I really did not want to do these cards as they are sad.

Now I have crashed and I still have much to do.  If I sleep tonight maybe it will return tomorrow.

I did not expect it to rain while we walked & did not wear a raincoat.  Now my clothes are drying.

Calgon, take me away!

I love the Stan Freberg/Ann Miller soup commercial. I love the We've Only Just Begun commercial. There was a acne or skin problem commercial I loved that had a song called It Won't Hurt to Try It - they tried like the dickens to get it to be a hit, but it didn't work. Several singles were released, sung by Tony Scotti, Jim Nabors, Tim Morgan, Brit Georgie Fame, and my actor friend Michael Burns - in fact, he gave me the single of his version. It's a really pretty song and some of the arrangements are lovely. I have all the versions in my music folder, although I keep searching for more and more importantly, I keep searching for the actual commercial with no luck.

I brought quick pickled carrots, a radish dip, crostini with pork tenderloin and pimento cheese on top under the broiler, spiced almonds, crudités and more.

They provided beef tenderloin, pork belly, plenty of garden-grown veggies like cucumber and radishes, homemade bread and more.

And wine, of course. A brunello and a barolo.

There were quite a few people who were dressed in 1930's fashions.
