Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm having my hand surgery on Monday. I still don't know what time it'll be -- they'll call me tomorrow to tell me that.

Also, I was looking at the local theatre season, and I saw that Cincinnati Playhouse is having an "immersive" murder mystery play in a corn maze, which might be the most Ohio thing I've ever seen, and I think I have to go to it.

I hope the surgery goes well, Hil.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I did get my booster last night and feel fine today, which is good because I forgot to plan to WFH! I also got a flu shot, so it was one in each arm. There's got to be an "ambivalent" joke here, but I can't find it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

amyp, I agree about the name. If you’re not trying to abolish the monarchy maybe don’t pick a name that reminds people of when the country tried to violently abolish the monarchy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Back to back to back webex mtgs this morning. DO NOT LIKE.

First meeting has been mostly stuff I can ignore. Could have all been a handout.

I got the close out reconciliation for mac’s apartment and now I get to call them to get on a payment plan.

So happy today is Friday. I need to go to bed early tonight.

Our wings are not tired.

So the fever was up to 101.3 this morning and I tested again since it was negative 2 days ago. Yep, positive this morning. Really mad at myself for succumbing to the need to socialize. I knew the bar was too crowded. I've been so careful the last couple years. So annoyed. Basically stayed in bed yesterday, probably do the same today. I have a call into the health center to get drugs. My sister said she would go get them.

Hil, I hope you get your surgery schedule in time to make arrangements for your classes on Monday. And that the surgery goes well, of course.

I can't get into my ERP at work again so I am filling in the "fun" survey that wants to know, for example, my favorite snack, I am drawing a complete blank. I like snacks in general, but what might my favorite be? I have no idea. It's a required question.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I like snacks in general, but what might my favorite be?

Cheezy Poofs? TJ's peanut butter cups? Tim's Cascade Salt & Vinegar Chips? Fruit Leather?

Favorite beverage is also flummoxing me, but it is not required. I mean, I drink a ton of water, I have a favorite wine varietal, I have had favorite coffees although I'm not sure I remember what they were and am happy to drink whatever coffee is available for free, the whole question of tea is far too big for this survey, and I really miss Diet Coke with Lime which I don't think is made any more. Should I say one of those? I don't know. I don't know why they are asking.

Oh, cheezy poofs are a must to nibble. Thanks!
