Sunday evening greetings! It snowed here for about 24 hours and we have about a foot on the ground. We’re hunkered down until the grounds crew arrives. Could be a couple of days.

Ginny, you have a Millstone Alert - 17 posts from 36,000!

Thanks for the heads-up, DR Freddie! I’ll try to make it a good one.

DR Jane, our next accumulating snow is predicted for Wednesday night/Thursday morning. Might keep me from going to lunch with my Dayton friends.

At least it gives you time to clear the roads before adding another layer of snow. I hope you are able to see your Dayton friends.

Apparently there's about 7 inches of snow in my area. It was followed by sleet for several hours.

Craig guessed about 4 inches for him, but then he hadn't been out yet. He did mention the light freezing rain all day. Though it wasn't official at the time (it is now) he said he wouldn't be working tomorrow.

Excellent.

I forgot to mention that Keith got it in four.

I am unable to read today's notes at this time.

I just checked and can't read them now. I'm not surprised with the issues I've been having posting.

I am very relieved that the Monks walking for Peace are wearing boots in this weather.

I will spend most of the day assisting Joshie on a non-Encores! project. So . . . Excelsior!

Hope it all went well!

Back from an excellent matinee, pretty full house, fun Q&A, and then dinner at the Coral Cafe.

bk · « **Reply #131 on:** January 25, 2026, 07:44:10 PM »

I'd written two pages before leaving, maybe three now that I think about it, so another seven would suit me just fine.

bk · « **Reply #132 on:** January 25, 2026, 07:45:00 PM »

Tricky end of chapter and I surprised even myself with the direction I went in. Unexpected but fun and still could go any number of ways.

Back from the lieder recital, which was excellent - Schumann Op. 39 and a great selection of Brahms. I hadn't been to Old First Church for a concert in almost 30 years, back when the opera used to have their Schwabacher debut recital series there. It was as excellent a space for a vocal recital as I had remembered.

MichaelG · « **Reply #134 on:** January 25, 2026, 07:57:01 PM »

Part of the fun of scanning in the old concert programs and entering them into my online calendar is that I can wonder, "how long ago was I at Old First for a concert?" and get the answer right away.

Plus clearing out a lot of space in my room.

Nice show and writing news, bk!

Good night, friends.

And others.

I decided to watch the rerelease of Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday after watching all of the extras. He added a Jaws joke that was pretty silly, which is most welcome tonight.

Seeing him destroy a room while wearing spurs and bearing a riding crop is hilarious.

What a waste of an evening.

My hand started cramping at the end of dinner. By the time I got home it was still bad

bk · « **Reply #143 on:** January 25, 2026, 10:14:33 PM »

Could not type.

bk · « **Reply #144 on:** January 25, 2026, 10:15:23 PM »

dozed for a bit, woke up, and it was worse

bk · « **Reply #145 on:** January 25, 2026, 10:15:49 PM »

And it's still bad.

bk · « **Reply #146 on:** January 25, 2026, 10:16:26 PM »

All of the above was typed with one hand

bk · « **Reply #147 on:** January 25, 2026, 10:16:54 PM »

So damn frustrating to not be able to do the new pages I need to do.

bk · « **Reply #148 on:** January 25, 2026, 11:10:53 PM »

Finally! The cramps subsided and I wrote several new pages, finished a chapter and began a new one. Eleven pages in all.

Onward
