1) Right now I am using this cocktail hour to neutralize some frustrations with rye and The Wizard of Oz.
1a) I had to buy the latter again because my DVD is stuck in the external DVD player which does not recognize that there is a DVD in there! The internet, as usual, is entirely unhelpful in suggesting solutions.
1b) I feel like Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black: “Now I’m gonna have to buy the White Album again!”
2) But it was lovely today to receive a package, get some nice feedback on today’s random column, and read an actual handwritten Lovely Note someone sent me in the mail.
3) For Thanksgiving I am fixing myself a nice turkey luncheon; thank goodness I started thawing out that bowling ball of a turkey breast on Monday! And in the afternoon at least two friends will be here for dessert al fresco. I hope the anticipated rains will have ceased by then.
