Seems like 2021 is beginning with a series of speed bumps for the barflies of Rumps. My condolences Emma, for the series of sorrows among your friends and family. And I am sorry for your losses as well, Kimmie. When you said you were bracing for another tough year, I related - my Dad died Jan 3 last year, and it just seemed to color the rest of the year. Luckily, it colored it in ways both good and bad, and feel his life and his presence inside me, not due to any otherworldly heavenly construct, but just through memories and genetics and stories and dumb Dad jokes we both loved. I hope your loved ones live through you in a similar way. I found it comforting. Dragonfly, I'm sorry to hear of your losses as well. Glad you stopped in for a beer.
Tonya, don't take apart your littley's room. It's a holiday, take a break!
We saw an actual movie yesterday! In an actual theater! Promising Young Woman. Very good. Very dark. And it only reveals some of its secrets after some time to think about what happened. BIG recommend.
End of the new story is in sight, but I don't think I'll get there today.
Coffee would be swell.
Genuinely kind and empathetic
Promising Young Woman as well. Very good, very dark. The ending is a real gut punch.
Sure, I'd hang out with him for a beer and a chat, if he's not tied up (I'll let myself out).
Yes. It was riveting (not).
Do you watch baseball on a regular basis?
He's a smart voice in the Forums and seems like a good guy. Dig the whole Ocean Cryptid thing.
We started Bridgerton on Netflix. By started, I mean I suffered through one episode before I begged that we stop and watch something, you know, interesting. LJ liked it.
Old sit com watch: New Adventures of Old Christine is on HBO in a few days. Love that show. Can't wait to binge it.

Errand running all day so far. Just got back. Retirement is NOT supposed to be this busy. I'll try to get 300 words in today, but the sun will be down in two hours.
Not much else going on. I really like the story I'm working on now. Slime zombies, the Cold War, and NORAD!
I hope everyone is doing well.
Bill, ice water would hit the spot.
Put it up on Amazon - all you need is the text and a cover - and display the link in your sig file.
I think you have to set a price though, minimum 99 cents.
I have not. Did one road trip to Oklahoma though.
Have ever taken a train trip with a sleeper car?
I pay bills my mail if they change from month to month, so water, gas, electricity, yadayadayada. I want to see the amount they charged before I approve payment, and snail mail is the easiest way to assure it.
What's your biggest monthly household expense, besides rent/mortgage?
Happy birthday, Sara! Thanks for inventing a brand new drink! And for your kind words too. I promise to keep all the crappy weather in my state for the next month!
