Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Just heard on NPR, that a missile hit Tel Aviv.

Shir, if you are around, please check in!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Shir lives in Jerusalem and Nilly is north of Tel Aviv - neither live close to where the missile landed in Jaffa, thankfully.

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

Our holiday festive event tonight is a jazz trio featuring a Hammond B3 organ. Holiday music on a Hammond organ is delightful!

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

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

Well, it's the dreariest solstice in memory, with grey skies and cold rain the whole day.

Topped off with me and Matilda attending the memorial of Astrid, yet another parent of one of her elementary school friends. We have gone to memorials for Blake (father of Lucy), Drew (father of Davi), Jacqueline, Astrid (mother of Angelica). All of these girls from Matilda's class lost a parent before they turned 20. And Isabella's mother, Lola, has Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer.

I have managed to order things online which I've sent (thanks to Shop's default addressing) to faraway cities, and feel wildly out of sync with the Holiday.

On the plus side, the sun starts coming back tomorrow.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

On the plus side, the sun starts coming back tomorrow.

More light, more light, more light. That mantra is getting me through these days.

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.

That gig was definitely a chapter's worth of cool. Very fun! I think this will be a new holiday tradition, along with the Krampus walk.
