Hey! I’m the first?
Good Morning Everyone.
Hope all is well out there.
9:00 am on November 2nd, 2011
Is that Masquers that is saying Hello My Pretties? With another picture of Masquers and BSD next to it?
Good morning all. Barb is home today and is cleaning out some gutters over the side porch, and replacing outside light bulbs. Oh what fun! Rain and some snow is supposed to be coming.
9:11 am on November 2nd, 2011
So- Mama left us. Abandoned us here all alone on the cold. And the dark. And the wolves are right outside. Sob-it’s so unfair!
Ok- she had to go open CLL cuz one of her coworkers
Is “missing” without power and phone lines.
And our house is warm and lit. And Dad is home with us. And as far as wolves, well maybe they are just some of the neighborhood members of the Nation barking. But still, it’s very unfair that she left us here. She is supposed to be home cuddling us!
9:22 am on November 2nd, 2011
Barb&Magpie: Yes, that is M in scary Halloween costume in one photo and with BSD in the next. Chet thought it was Mango and Buster, but we advised otherwise.
Tupper&Gilly: You poor neglected Royals! Left home alone (with Dad in a cozy warm house) with the wolves at the door. How could she!
9:40 am on November 2nd, 2011
Greetings Bear, B&M, and T&G, and all the rest of the Plunderers!
Bear: Nice job you and Masquers did disguising yourselves. You folled Chet, Admin, and Spence! 🙂
T&G: I am sending tummies, hugs, and cuddles your way!
B&M: Sorry to hear about the nasty weather coming at you. The next several days in Westchester will be snow and rain free. Unfortunately, some winds are expected, which could result in more downed trees and power lines…
From last night: Another great book, “The Art of Racing in the Rain.” I cried a lot.
9:43 am on November 2nd, 2011
Dawg, I meant FOOLED.
T&G: Looks like more of yours are becoming FOCs. Of course, no one could take the place of the Royals…I am curtseying in your honor.
9:48 am on November 2nd, 2011
That does sound like fun. Glad I don’t have classes tomorrow.
Good morning all. Off to class.
10:07 am on November 2nd, 2011
We read the Art of Racing. Liked it but there was a lot of auto/racing references that didn’t appeal to us. Dog’s Purpose, we finished after putting it down for a week. Only reason we went back to it was Barb’s borther hounding us to read it. And after all, he read all 4 C & B books at our recommendation. Sort of agree with Siber, didn’t love it because of all the sadness. He did capture the dog’s prospective, but not as well as SQ does. Water for Elephants, really really liked it, loved the ending, but there were some scenes that bothered the hell out of us. Think old worn out horses, big hungry cats. Yikes! The ending was great, as opposed to Edgar Sawtelle, which we struggled thru, and HATED the ending. Anyone else care to comment on Edgar?
10:37 am on November 2nd, 2011
Rose: No worries. We don’t even “see” blog typos anymore and in fact are sort of startled when a Plunderer corrects themselves in the next post. Guess we’re all so Simpatico we understand each other without explanation.
Racing in the Rain! One of our all time favorites! Loved, loved, loved that book!!! Thought the racing segments added to the story (it helps that Nana loves auto racing)
Barb&Magpie: The Story of Edgar Sawtelle…the setting takes place in Northern WI where Nana & her BFF grew up, so she was eager to read the book when it first came out, which was even before Oprah picked it for her book club. She liked the book a lot – even though struggling through the dark parts. The story of how the dogs were breed and trained was fascinating. Many parts where very emotional. Although the ending was disturbing we also felt hope. Hope too that there will be a sequel. Although, considering the first book took the author 10 years to complete…guess that won’t be anytime soon.
10:49 am on November 2nd, 2011
Hmm. Do we know the “when” of this deal??
Good Morning! Time for a nap! Already been down the hill and done errands.
10:56 am on November 2nd, 2011
Hey, everyone, I just found out what my mom was “cooking up” for my dad. It’s not cooking actually, but a super secret surprise. However, you must promise not to tell him, okay.
His sixtieth birthday is this Friday, November 4, and she has come up with the very best possible birthday present imaginable. They are going to fly up to Boston that day, check into some ritzy hotel (I understand it is the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon many, many years ago), and then at 7:30 that night they will go to the Concord Free Public Library to attend a mystery writers’ program that is part of the Concord Festival of Authors, where our very own SQ will be one of the featured speakers. How cool is that!!! Woo! Woo! What a great birthday present for my dad, or what. Grandpa and I will have to “batch” it for the night, but they will come back on Saturday, so we won’t be alone too long. Wookie
10:59 am on November 2nd, 2011
Oh, by the way, this is a picture of me at the end of Halloween night, resting after the long evening of helping pass out Halloween candy to all the kids.
Wookie
11:02 am on November 2nd, 2011
Rio: 2 of U at FOC! Wookie up there this morning too.
I have a feeling this is going to be a good day. Even Rio’s forecast is looking up. No more snow and temps going up to a balmy 56 on Friday. Small glitch of showers & wind on Friday…then sun, sun, Sunny days for the next week.
11:14 am on November 2nd, 2011
Wookie: (whispering) we promise not to tell. What a Great Birthday Surprise for your dad’s 60th – all that & seeing our favorite author too. And, btw that is a very cool picture of you.
P.S. to Rio: (speaking of typos) the showers for Saturday, not Friday as posted.
11:37 am on November 2nd, 2011
Wookie!…WOW!..WOW!…wheeze!…WOOOOWWWWHHOOOOOOO!….WOWOWOWOW!…That is so great for your Paw and Maw…heh!…Too bad you get the short end of the Birthday Stick…snort!
11:55 am on November 2nd, 2011
Wookie!! That is really neat and we won’t tell. That is a perfect birthday surprise. We are anxious to hear all about it.
Very cute photo…makes me sleepy.
We liked The Art of Racing in the Rain, but didn’t love it. We know why: Reading Spence’s books has spoiled us when it comes to reading any other author that writes from a dog’s point of view. We love Chet, and we also love the way Spence makes the desert and the mountains part of the story.
11:57 am on November 2nd, 2011
Wookie: Hope your friend Rio didn’t give away the Big Surprise. He was barking so loud we’re sure it was heard all the way over in Chevy Chase.
B. Do you have the Snowhook Calendar? I thought of you yesterday seeing Charlie as Dog of the Month for November.
12:12 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Siber-H: Nana read The Art of Racing in the Rain before reading Dog On It. Although Enzo has a different perspective from Chet’s, he tells a different kind of story too and so it remains on our list of All Time Favorites. Of course, there is no question that the Chet & Bernie Mysteries are at the very top of the most loved books of all time. Chet being our Go to Guy.
12:20 pm on November 2nd, 2011
For all my literary friends.
12:26 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Job!….I just read where Tony La Russa got a job offer as an Elephant Keeper!…snort!….Imagine that…..grunt!
Wookie!…Be sure to have Staff make your Paw a Badge for the big event this Friday….Wooooooo!
12:26 pm on November 2nd, 2011
What an excellent birthday present Wookie.
Bear: I do have the Snowhook calendar and will check it out when I get home.
The Nova show on PBS sounds interesting tonight. It’s the first of four in a series called, I think, “The Fabric of the Cosmos.”
12:27 pm on November 2nd, 2011
BSD, We liked the same things in Edgar that you found interesting, but the ending sucked all the joy out of it for us. We were looking for a different twist that involved the dogs and their training to bring about the result we desired. Does that make sense without spoiling the ending for someone who has not read it?
Wookie, Also love your surprise and your picture. Doesn’t get any better than that. And maybe they will bring back a doggie bag for you. Can’t wait to hear your report.
Feel a nap coming on, myself.
12:31 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Stover!…Do you think you and I will ever get to meet our favorite author?…sniffle!
12:32 pm on November 2nd, 2011
We liked the auto racing parts of The Art of Racing in the Rain.
T&G, Maybe those are just Sibers at your door. If that is the case, invite them in for a PARTY! Your mom will never know as long as you stash the Herbs where they can’t see or hear anything.
Trigger is a new Friend of Chet today! What a dog! We still think Chet looks a lot like Trigger. I wonder what tasty food items Trigger has managed to liberate lately.
12:37 pm on November 2nd, 2011
FOC!….I was out looking on the FOC Page and I saw Maskers ….heh!…Now I know where he gets his name. It looks like he has a Zoro Mask on!….snort! snort! ….Zoro Kat to the Rescue!..
1:14 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Hello everybody,
Its been hectic today. Internet and phone line went out for awhile; electricians here; drywaller here. o boy.
Wookie, that is the best birthday surprise we have ever heard of! Your Dad is sure to love it (Mom too). And we loved seeing you in your Halloween bandana. We had Halloween bandanas but no Trick-or-Treaters. 🙁
Siber, we agree that Trigger doe look a lot like how we picture Chet.
3:05 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Wookie: Mums the word on the surprise. That is an excellent gift! You look like you worked hard on Monday night.
Why oh why didn’t I go to law school?!? The casting director said they would send a release for the demo reel they want to shop to the networks. We received a five page contract full of big words and limitations including use of photos we take and if one of us was so inclined to produce literary materials. Gulp!
3:25 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Rio: Perhaps you and I should try to meet Spence at the same time. (Would he survive?)
3:29 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Rebecca: Before you sign the contract, I think you should have an attorney look at it.
3:30 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Hello Plunderers,
I have decided to discontinue Buddy’s use of my name in his stupid posts. He is not my friend, and does not speak for me.
I have been paying close attention to the Occupy movements going on around the country and the world, and I believe it is time for us cats (not KAT) to Occupy Chet’s Blog. Please join me Fellow Felines!
3:56 pm on November 2nd, 2011
I’m with you T.C. Power to the felines!!!
3:59 pm on November 2nd, 2011
I’m with you also. Small but mighty! Heh
4:03 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Wookie, Can you send me a photo of yourself, or post it on the blog so I can steal it for the ChettheDog ID forms. You wouldn’t want your Mom and Dad to be without.
I will get it to you ASAP…as long as you say it won’t ruin the secret. I could just post them here…unless Dad is likely to see them….
Let me know.
How about those kats. Alice is very excited and Abbie is planning her own little napsack of treats so she can stay at the occupy headquarters without starving.
4:05 pm on November 2nd, 2011
I see that we need to extend National Chase a Cat Day to a full week.
Rebecca, I think you should see an attorney. I’m guessing it wouldn’t take too much of his time to deal with this.
4:07 pm on November 2nd, 2011
grrr Mom just informed me that I need to think of an attorney as him or her…not just “him”.
4:57 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Working my patootie off today. Will catch up later.
Just wanted to let
B.Stover know that we just had Spudder Soup and it was WONDERFUL!
4:59 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Staff. Thanks. Please check your SDD. Posting them here will be fine, although if you could also send by SDD, that would be good too. Wookie
5:21 pm on November 2nd, 2011
WOOKIE! (whispering) that is awesome! Wow, what a BD present. Your Dad is a lucky guy. Of course, it goes without saying that Debbie is no slouch herself!
I thought the Kats operated our headquarters. Are the Occupying their own Space?
5:26 pm on November 2nd, 2011
KATS RULE
Dawgs drool
We are The Mighty Singing Kats -hear us roar!
MEOOOOWWW
(that was just for you CHarris)
5:31 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Macy: About your picture . . . My guys always say that I’m behind the times. I can now tell them that I am ahead of them! Thanks
5:35 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Melanie: I’m glad you like the soup. I do too and it’s so easy to make.
5:53 pm on November 2nd, 2011
I want to occupy too. I’m a 99%er!!!!! T.C. Says I act too much like the dogs. But I’m a cat thru and thru…one who happens to hang out with Howlin” Huskies…thats all.
6:08 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Okay – I’m back after a very tasty lunch – Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese sandwiches. Yummers!
This is fast becoming a busy place. Personally I think Nana is aiming quite high here, but she has decided she wants to travel to Florida in January and is busily making preparations. Now all she needs are the funds. We’re just trying to stay out of her way.
There was an article yesterday about some group bringing supplies to the Occupy Wall Street Dogs. Now those kats are planning an upriseing. Good grief! What’s next?
6:10 pm on November 2nd, 2011
B…we took a look at the spudder soup recipe and it does sound good and easy. We also have a favorite depression-era meal: corn pie. We should have put that into Dishlickers cookbook.
6:15 pm on November 2nd, 2011
OleyHowlers, can you send the recipe?
6:20 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Howlers: Corn pie sounds good.
6:26 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Melanie check your SDD
6:28 pm on November 2nd, 2011
I read “The Art of…” befor the C&B books as well. I have not yet read “Dog’s Purpose.” Not “Edgar” either. So many books, so little time. Just started “The Affair” and I’m loving it so far.
Wookie: That is a really great surprise!! I won’t tell a soul. I may have to give the Prof a gentle hint about doing that. I love Boston, and would like to stay in the city, instead of the burbs as we usually do. I love your picture too. A deserved nap after a hard day’s night. 🙂
The Prof had a cancerous growth removed from his head this morning. Three sticthes taken. The last time he had a cancerous growth removed, he looked like a Sharpei the next day. Looks like he’ll be looking like one again tomorrow.
Rebecca: GET AN ATTORNEY!!!!
6:32 pm on November 2nd, 2011
O.Howlers: Me too! With the 3 Ring Binder Dishlicker’s Cookbook it’s a cinch to add pictures and recipes. Just print…add page protectors and voila!
6:40 pm on November 2nd, 2011
We sent it to dishlickers.
6:56 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Spudders!…Is that a recipe in the Dishlickers Cookbook?…snort!… I will have to make sure my friend sees that one…sniff!….Taters are always good no matter what…heh!…Corn Pie, not so much…ugh!
Psych!….We are watching the Psych Halloween show.,…snort!…What a riot…heh!
6:58 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Thanks, O.Howers.
7:06 pm on November 2nd, 2011
B: The PBS show, The Fabric of the Universe, sounds good. We will try to catch it later in the Archives.
Which reminds me: Just got around to reading Spence and Admin’s S&S reference of this morning. Heh, heh..funny remark about the possibility of champagne in an alternate universe.
7:18 pm on November 2nd, 2011
I could drink champagne in an alternate universe! Thanks OH!
7:23 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Rio: Yes, Spudder Soup is on page 21 of the Dishlicker Cookbook.
7:26 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Buddy lives in an alternate universe.
Masquers, where are you? Occupy, Baby!
7:30 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Tomorrow!….This whole Simon snd Schister thing on facebookie…sniff!… What time does it start? Will Spencer be giving real-time feedback or will it be some Publishing flunky out there answering for him? Everyone knows Spencer can’t type.…grunt!… Why do I care, she locks me out of facebookie during the day when I am alone…sniff! I can only get on if she is here at home with me…wuffle! …So if this whole thing is during the day, I will not be able to
harass Spenceroffer up my questions….grump! …I hope some of you keep me posted as to what is going on during this free-for-all….sniff!7:34 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Maskers!….Don’t do it Pal…snort!…Stick with your real friends out here on the blog…grunt!…All those Kats are Fickle to the core. They’d rather spit hair-balls on you as look at you…gruffle!
8:00 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Actors!….Who here watchs The Good Wife?….snort!… We are catching up on episodes and we are now watching the one where the most excellent actor who plays the very strange guy who is locked up for killing his wife is going to maybe help Alicia in a case about an airplane accident…wheeze! …My question, is this guy a NYC theater actor?…sneeze!
8:13 pm on November 2nd, 2011
We like the Good Wife, but am behind in episodes.
8:16 pm on November 2nd, 2011
“we am” good one, Bear!
8:33 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Desperate!…. If you guys are not going to talk to me or anyone else tonight, I will have to go over and lay beside her and watch what she is watching….grunt!…Which is The Golf Channel. You scoff, but I am totally serious…sniff!…She sometimes likes to watch this show called, “Big Break” which is a show about contestants who are golfers trying to make into the big league. They have to make amazing golf shots to stay on the show and win an opportunity of a lifetime….wuffle!…This season it is set in Ireland. Beautiful Ireland!…heh!….Still, I don’t think I can lie there and watch this show without immediately falling asleep….wuffle! …I know we are both desperate for a good sporting event, but Golf?…sniff!…Really?
8:35 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Hi Rio!
8:46 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Rio: Your friend inspired me. Each year my employer gives us a certain amount of money towards a wellness activity like joining the gym. I had some carry over money from last year and was just granted a sum for this year. The local radio station had an on air auction with year passes up for bid. There was one pass left over—I was able to get the pass for half off!
Rose: what are you trying to tell me? 😉
8:46 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Snort!…Hello. Are you going to save me tonight from total boredom?…wheeze!….Although, compared to the blog tonight, this show is pretty darn exciting…heh!
8:48 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Hi Rio
My internet has been down for a few hours. It is not like they have the excuse of a big snowstorm or even a litle snowstorm.
Sporting events, Rio…We have a long wait. sniff
8:50 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Riö, my friend, wish I could stay up longer and dish the dirt (why on earth do we say that?) but I musts needs go to bed. Tomorrow 4 of the Pack get to go to the V E T’s office for their Rabies shots.
Why DID we make that appointment for EARLY MORNING?
TTFN
8:50 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Gym!….Rebeccer, when are you going to start using it?…hmmmm?… I think its great that you and my friend want to go work-out somewhere that doesn’t include dragging me along for the Brutal Walk…heh!…This is really great news Rebeccer!
8:58 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Woodwork!…Well, now a few guys are coming out of the woodwork to check-in, but I think its mostly to say “Goodnight”…grunt!…hmmmphf!
9:18 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Glimpses from today’s headlines: Oldsters arrested in Atlanta are accused of Master Minding a Terror Plot against government officials. They supposedly had gotten their ideas from a online novel called Absolved, which was written by blogger and gun rights advocate, Mike Vanderboegh.
T.C.: If you are rejecting Buddy surely you don’t want me either. He happens to be a friend of mine and we both have pals that are of the canine variety.
Rose: Tell the Prof we are sending healing thoughts his way and will be thinking of you both as always.
Rio: Hard settling in after the craziness of the Series last week followed by the nor’easter of this.
9:25 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Hmmm!…Maskers says, its called “Settling In”…heh!…I call it downright Depression every season after Baseball is officially over…sob! wuffle!…But one must go on with renewed hope for our future team…sniff!…We have a good 4 plus months to kill before the season starts again….grunt! …All those who complain when baseball is here are gone when it is over. I just don’t get it…wuffle!
9:27 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Rio. Checking in here from Chevy Chase. Busy here working hard to help get the folks ready for their big road trip on Friday. Missing baseball badly too. Wookie
9:38 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Wookie!… I’ll never forget our trip to the World Series on the most exciting night ever!…woooo!….sob!…How will we ever top that I wonder…wuffle!
9:39 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Hey everyone –
Rio – Mama says she has a good excuse for not being here earlier. She has been working away on her descriptions for the items for the MMS. They are all done and have been emailed to Bella.
Bella – really and honestly, they have been sent. Please say you got them and can use the pics in the format they were sent.
Wookie – your Mom is wonderful and your Dad is one lucky guy. Have a WONDERFUL time in Boston. Make sure to find time to get to Filene’s Basement. The original is right there in Boston, Copley Square area. And they just announced today that they are filing for bankruptcy – so sales galore. And this just days after the annual Running of the Brides sale.
Hi Siber! Hi all Kats! And BSD! (still grateful for your miracle of electricity. Some folks around here are still in the dark)
9:43 pm on November 2nd, 2011
We call the 4 months without baseball The Long Dark.
Mom also says she spends more money on books during those 4 months.
We could cheer for the Denver Broncos or the Dallas Cowboys or the UNM Lobos because they are all doing so well this year. (I’m being nasty)
Maybe the Patroits will have a good year.
9:48 pm on November 2nd, 2011
I just arrived home after pulling an all-nighter last night. I was looking forward to settling in for the evening, but that was not to be. Our pressure tank has a leak so AJ is headed back to town for materials and parts to fix it. Luna, Belle Starr and I decided to stay home and make sure the bed doesn’t float away in the not too distant future.
T&G: The Eagle feather has landed. All the pictures came through without any problem and your descriptions are wonderful. Looking at all the items that everyone has submitted, all I can say is we are in for a treat.
Rio: I think I will start using it this weekend. My asthma seems to be back under control. I do travel for work next week so I won’t be able to be as faithful as I would like, but it’s something. Did you know that your friend can take you for a brutal walk down our driveway in March—it’s a half mile long—wait, maybe I shouldn’t say that or you’ll rethink your trip North to Alaska…
Wookie: Jealousy abounds from my neck of the woods. I bet your mom and pop are going to have a great time.
9:49 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Goodnight Everyone.
We’ll talk again at
morning light – Bear
9:52 pm on November 2nd, 2011
GAH!…Our football team is …well…I don’t even want to talk about it…grunt! …The Long Dark is a good way to describe Winter with No Baseball…sob! …We are just going to go to bed now because…sniff!… because we can…sob!
MMCS!… I have to say before I go upstairs to my warm soft bed, that I am so happy to hear that Golinka with all her hardships this week was able to get her Items and Descriptions to Rebeccer!…snort!…Wonderful news and very much appreciated to say the least…chuffle!
9:57 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Rebeccer!…Half a mile is nuthing!…wuffle!…I would actually enjoy a half mile walk…sneeze!…Now I am shuffling my way upstairs because …sob!…I’m going through withdrawals I guess…cough! ….G’Night..(((sigh)))
10:01 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Night, Bear.
Rose: I am happy to report that Luna and Belle Starr blurred back home sometime yesterday. They had an extended stay at my parents where they were spoild and ate steak. They surprised me at my office yesterday afternoon with AJ in tow.
Oh, the tales they have told. They are still upset about losing a zinger, but even more upset that they didn’t get to see Rio. They had a blast with the Newf pack. Belle Starr says that Mac was always willing to play, and Luna assisted Patsy in keeping an eye on Melanie—I was told that Melanie stays so busy that Patsy has to set an example for her and lead the way to bed every night. Luna says she was glad to help.
There has been a bit of teasing that Kat is bigger than Belle Starr and the words, “We thought the Newfs were big dogs, but you should see Sheik!” were exclaimed. They enjoyed the time with the Royals and the Herb Kats and heeded the warning to stay out of boxes and away from packing tape.
It was reported that the Professor gives great tummies as long as he can refrain from sneezing, but you make the best cookies. They were also happy to report that no keys were left in any locks on their watch; Belle Starr wished she had reason to use her perp face, but she says there will be other trips.
A complaint against AJ and I were made because we give the dogs eggs from time to time, but never clever little things called way-voes. (I asked Belle Starr if she was sure that was how it was spelled, and she insisted). They were able to meet all of Siber-H’s friends at the dog park and snuck a quick play with the stuffed husky when his mom wasn’t looking.
And, now? Now, they are sleeping on the couch after having so much fun.
10:03 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Good-nite owls
whoooHooooHooo
(snicker)
10:05 pm on November 2nd, 2011
We are also going to bed cause as Rio said, “Because we can”. Or, as Mallory said when asked why he wanted to climb Everest, “Because it is there”.
night all
10:18 pm on November 2nd, 2011
Bella – thanks. Now we can breathe a sigh of relief.
Mama says she is sympathetic with the trials and travails of home repair. She took her father to the store today to LOOK at storm doors to replace the one that is retiring this year. Then our Dad came along and met them at the store.
Mama has now informed us that our treat budget has been reduced to store brand biscuits – broken in HALF! But we have a nice, new, pretty (totally unnecessary) fancy storm door. And a new bifold door. And a new lever latch for a bifold door. And trim for the bifold door. And a new ironing board. And shelving for the cupboard. Oh, and a few other odds and ends.
She says letting men loose in a store like that is kind of letting a sugar-fueled five year old loose in FAO Schwartz.
We’re heading off to bed now too. We opened CLL today since our co-worker is still without electricity/phones/water and has a tree across her driveway. This was one heck of a storm.

Just a quick comment to BSD regarding a post yesterday. We’ve b
een watching “Once Upon a Time”. We love it. It is a very interesting and entertaining way to tell a story. Each episode gets better. It might be hard for someone to come in and watch without seeing the previous episodes.
Just starting “The Affair.” We’re sure mom will love it (she has an equal crush on Bernie and Reacher).
Do any of you watch any shows that you can’t believe you watch? Mom hates reality TV, but got hooked on Sister Wives!! Good Dog, how ridiculous and she keeps on watching…like a train wreck!
Can’t wait to shop Snowhook style! Everybody stay warm. We’re still running the A/C here.
