Speaking of Koreans (???), I started watching Kim's Convenience, and that show is sweet.

My son talked us into watching this as he loves it, but after a whole lot of episodes I just am not endeared to any of the characters enough to care what happens next. Kinda sad about that. Might try again at some point.

Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters.

That is some delicious coffee, I tell you.

We like watching Kim's Convenience, but it's mostly for the Canadian support.

I like to have shows I can half-watch, and it fits the bill.

So, yeah, work. Why wasn't I born financially independent? It ain't right I tell ya.

YES. I was hysterically laughing this morning because someone casually asked if I could look at a document from 1898. No, I don't have that at my house. We don't even have it at the office. We probably have it in archival storage somewhere... if it even exists.

Exactly. We have it in the category of watching while also working on our laptops. Enjoyable enough, and don't have to pay close attention.

THANK YOU AGAIN to JenP for helping me get this done so quickly after procrastinating.

Thank you, msbelle, and JenP!

I can check in my archives!

Archives access is definitely an issue for us. We have a lot of material that was never scanned (and the stuff that was scanned wasn't coded very well so it's hard to find anyway), and of course I'm not near the files.

In other news, I hosted my niece & her fiance (who are currently in our bubble) for a long-delayed graduation dinner, and I ordered 4 lobsters from Maine with all the fixings. It was splendid, and she loved it, and the lobster was pretty good as well. Although her fiance broke one of my knifes shucking the oysters.

I am now coming up on 3 hours of waiting for my work laptop to finish updating. I guess I could have gone for a run...

You are most welcome! My pleasure, and I'm glad I could help.

So, I wrote the "Yeah, we're not coming up for Christmas..." text to my sister & fam yesterday, which sucked, but they totally get it. They are still sending us our matching pjs, and we will Zoom on Christmas Day. Now I have to get my ordering and sending gifts mojo going strong. I'm used to shopping in persona and usually rather close-ish to Christmas Day. Blergh.

That sounds amazing, Consuela. Sorry for the lost knife.

There's a Files & Records joke in there somewhere, Jesse, but it's not coming to me.

I talked to my sister yesterday and apparently our mother had already said "screw it I'm just giving you money this year", and she and I agreed to just give each others' pets gifts. Because shopping is too hard. I think I still have to get something for mom and dad, but may just order them a nice fruit tray or something.

Timelies all!

Gary's Birthday and Hanukkah are next week, so I have ordered some things for him. Otherwise, I dunno. I guess I could send e-gift cards to the nieblings.
