DR John,  I have been undecided if I want to read Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy.  I look forward to hearing what you and your sister think of it.

I’m beginning to lose interest.

Please report once you finish reading it.

Didn’t buy The Milky Way. I think Bunuel was just too angry.

Starting A Big, Bold Beautiful Journey. I like Margot Robbie and Colin Ferrell. Hopefully I will like their movie.

The pro-shot Merrily will supposedly be streaming on 1/20/26 on various platforms to stream and/or purchase. I hope so.

Back from a decent final dress - no real audience, just us and designers. The big issues were energy at the top of the show - very low - and then establishing the tone instantly - if we don't let the audience know it's okay to laugh, it's a rough road ahead - but that's more difficult than it sounds because the subject matter is not funny - it's the delivery and quirky that's funny and last night they didn't let us know what - they have before, so we'll now get that back.

DR George, if that egg salad is more than three-four days old, I would approach it with caution. About ten years ago, on - I believe - the CBS News, a food person gave a short Thanksgiving lecture on Thanksgiving leftovers and how long to keep them in the fridge. Then she went on to talk about items like ytna salad and other items. It was rather scary,

Thanks for the warning, Larry, but I looked...and shouldn't have. :o

Soooo, a caesar salad without the dressing is ... romaine lettuce and a few croutons?

And some parmesan cheese. :)
