Book ,'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think the only silver lining is that Musk's ego vs. Trump's ego is sure to become a clash that ends up with Trump dumping him for someone he can overshadow when the honeymoon period ends. If we're super lucky, it'll happen before the end of January.
Do not quash my hopes, people. I cling to this like toilet paper to a shoe.
Mauled by bears, eaten by sharks, abandons earth to go drive a Cybertruck on Mars...as long as it gets rid of them, I'm not picky.
I do think Trump will turn on Musk any day now - there are some indications it's already starting. So he'll go back to being just a regular billionaire lobbyist instead of THE billionaire lobbyist.
Our holiday festive event tonight is a jazz trio featuring a Hammond B3 organ. Holiday music on a Hammond organ is delightful!
Monday I'm having dinner with my group of girlfriends, one of whom is in from out of town. Tuesday we go to my Mom's for Christmas Eve dinner and Wednesday we go to Tim's family for Christmas Day. And Thursday I am doing NOTHING.

ION, we are observing one of our tried and true holiday traditions: apparently there is some sort of surprise happening for me tomorrow, and Mr. Loomy has been gleefully taunting me about it.
Took the dogs for a walk in the rainy woods and I got wet and chilled, so now I'm cozy on the couch listening to jazz, and I don't want to go out again. But we're taking the toddlers to the steam trains! Gotta be done.
Jim has been wanting Marconi sport peppers - his late brother lived in Chicago, apparently nothing else will do for "proper" dogs, and we haven't found them anywhere locally.
World Market carries them! I had enough reward points to purchase a two-pack for a dollar, and Ken will collect them before coming over on the day.
Jim will be making chili crisp today. I shall be hiding in my workroom, with the air purifier on "suck the life out of the unwary" just outside the door.
Just heard on NPR, that a missile hit Tel Aviv.
Shir, if you are around, please check in!
Shir lives in Jerusalem and Nilly is north of Tel Aviv - neither live close to where the missile landed in Jaffa, thankfully.

The second volume of The Catalog of Cool (Too Cool) had a whole chapter on Hammond B3 jazz trios! That's how cool you are. A whole chapter's worth.
Apple pie 2024 v2.0 is now in the oven. Hopefully I can avoid any kitchen disasters until I get it to tomorrow's family dinner.
