Absolutely ridiculous.

The book award thing actually comes with a trophy, which I'm looking forward to.

From DR John,

Quote

I’ve liked all of her books, some more than others. This one was upper middle for me.

This is my third book by Reid. So far it might be my second favorite.

Congrats to MR BK on the award.

Perhaps we can watch on ZOOM or at least see lots of photos.

Jane · « **Reply #41 on:** January 06, 2026, 09:16:30 AM »

I have The Tale of Genji on my list of books to read. I'm not sure I will ever tackle it.

Good news from DR ELMORE.

Hoping your advocate can make it happen.

From DR Freddie,

I got such a touching note from a former Times reporter

That's very nice.

DR FREDDIE's post from a couple of days ago made me remember this:

I sell a line of plastics.

And I travel on the road.

I have a case of samples

Which believe me is a load.

Every night a strange cafe,

A strange hotel and then

Early in the morning

I am on the road again.

When the season's over

And my lonesome journey ends

That's the only time I see

My family and my friends.

I drive up Ocean Parkway

And before I park the car

My Ma leans out the window

And she hollers: "Here we are!"

Fun photos from DR George last night.

Jrand75 · « **Reply #48 on:** January 06, 2026, 09:22:40 AM »

Yes! DR GEORGE I'm thinking my brothers had something like that.

Jrand75 · « **Reply #49 on:** January 06, 2026, 09:23:03 AM »

They also had a Game Boy console which is still around here someplace.

It’s going up to 82 today. That means toxic levels of cedar pollen. Oh, joy.

Sending vibes it isn't too bad.

DR Kerry's mixer has been whirling away today.

I'm not so sure you should accept that award, BK. You should probably give it to a very stable genius. Just to be safe.

Thanks, Jane. It was touching to have my parody lyrics remembered by a reporter whose articles I'd commented on over seven years ago. I see the last time was 2018!
