Our favorite Vietnamese restaurant, which was supposedly closing in a couple of months, moved it up to Tuesday. This past Tuesday. Our last chance to get vermicelli and spring rolls with peanut sauce...gone.

I got confirmation that Hubby's name will be inscribed on the memorial wall for donors next June. There will be a ceremony honoring new names after that. I'll need to tell his daughter. That made me mull over local, ie Mormon, traditions for the dead, and I started wondering if his daughter would have her kids do a baptism for the dead for him. The theory is that people who haven't had a chance to hear the Mormon gospel in life will be offered its "blessings" in the afterlife so they can go on to the higher level of heaven.
But to cut to the chase, I had a sudden image of after life Mormon missionaries going up to the heavens of other religions, knocking on the door, and telling the baptized souls that they had a wonderful opportunity to move over to the Mormon heaven, thanks to their descendants. And picturing a pair of missionaries going into Valhalla to tell the roistering departed that their descendants wanted them to live in a non-roistering heaven, where the men wear ties and there is no booze at all, made me laugh out loud.
Because really, fresh-faced Mormon missionaries. Valhalla. Vikings with mugs of ale being told their descendants thought they'd be happier somewhere else.

Connie, ha!
Watching Grey's, and I like that they are using real flashbacks. Also, even after all these years, I think of JAR as "one of ours."

How you know you're in Massachusetts: The main thrust of most of the ads against the Republican gubernatorial candidate is, "You know he's a Republican, right??"

Yeah, that's different from NC, where the ads against the Democrat boil down to, "You know she agreed with Obama once, right?"
