Write and publish a novel. I start Jan 2nd, 2021.
Probably been to 15 science museums. Two words: dinosaur skeletons!
Have you ever been to a Creationist museum?
No, but I'd like to see one. Took my kids to see Obama speak back in 2008.
Have you contributed to a political campaign this year?
Four years in and counting, and I am still addicted to the way she smiles at me. Thrills me every time, like I was seeing it for the first time.
HUGS
Happy Friday, all!
Other Scott has returned! Welcome back.
Congrats on all the winning, Fuzz. The Mets didn't lose because they didn't play. Game time today is 4:47, weirdly, and even more weirdly, we are paying the winningest team in New York: the Toronto Blue Jays (They're playing in Buffalo during this benighted year of 2020).
Can we have the election already? Everyone's already made up their mind. Let's have the election next Tuesday and get this shitshow over with.
Date night, but no big plans, we'll probably just go out to eat. Our big weekend project is to assemble the brand new bedside table for my side of the bed! And finish Justified!
Coffee would be like manna from heaven.
Of course!
Do you kill non-poisonous spiders you find in the house?
HUGS
Hope everyone is doing well.
Vanessa, I second your "Where's Ping (excuse me, KENNY!)?" sentiment. Dude, drag your ass in here!
Woke up to a ton of snow today, though it is all slowly melting off now. It felt nice - I like winter, I like snow. I will be sick of it come February, though.
Had a monthly staff meeting on Zoom this morning. Only 3 more of those left. Feels weird.
My Dad's memorial is in a month. I find myself in my head, writing his obituary, more and more. And with the eulogy come a lot of memories. Interesting times, friends.
One hour til Bourbon time. Set a shot toward the end of the bar, I'll gradually scoot my way over.
Oooooh!
I know nothing about good quality keyboards, but I have been swearing angrily at my current crappy one for years. Makes fast typing nearly impossible, but I buy cheap ones because I am VERY hard on a keyboard. Thanks for the info everyone. This looks like an early 2021 present for myself!
HUGS
Hope everyone had an excellent three day weekend.
Sorry about your Royals, Fuzz, and the resultant lack of donuts. The Mets lost too, if that is any consolation.
Littley must be so excited to start school. She's so hungry for knowledge and clearly very bright. A lifelong learner!
And thanks to our dear Curvy for the setup.
Thanks to everyone who wandered over to the land of Gnu to read my comp entry, as well as all the others. I got a Contestant badge, so I must have qualified. Go read the entries! And thanks for the help, and the signal boost, Scott.
We saw Tenet in an actual movie theater last weekend. I liked it, though it was pretty confusing. LJ's reaction: she leaned into me halfway through as said "I have absolutely no idea what's going on." I guess that was the goal, they went out of their way NOT to explain much.
We are still not done with Justified. Only 3 left, and we are taking them slow. Still, we are sure to finish next weekend.
There's a snowstorm coming this way; Coffee would sure keep things warm!
Don't know her well but she seems chill and level headed and fun. So, yeah, fond.
HUGS
Grace, good to see you back, and hope you are feeling better.
Sara, glad you liked part 1 of the story.
TG, glad your hearing is back, and you got to see the kids, and the grandkids soon!
A three day weekend looms, though I suspect we will be mostly chill. Eat out tonight, as we nearly always do on Friday night. Going to the movies is likely tomorrow, I really wanna see Tenet. And probably will finish Justified.
Speaking of Justified, I proposed we study the first chapter of Riding the Rap in my writing group (Raylon and Dewey Crowe- it's free on amazon by clicking the "Look Inside" link). I wish I could write with half the style of Elmore Leonard. He hits it out of the frikkin park, and I don't know HOW he does it. Got into a very long discussion about what the POV really is. An omniscient 3rd person narrator filtered through Raylan's POV is the best definition. Thoughts, Bill? You're a big Leonard fan as I recall.
Cough-ee. Please.
Made our engagement rings myself, out of wood, before I proposed.
