Same old, same old here. Checking in on Dad. Latest is he believes he has a new girlfriend. Good for him, right? I think it's all in his head, because the details are all too fantastic - including details of the night he spent with her. Can't help but say Ewww and good for you all in one breath.
Having a few taxing behavior issues at a couple of schools. Luckily, they are at the beginning of the week.
Weight slowly bounces down. Down, up, down, up, down, down.... You know the drill....
Tired. Dad, dogs and work make for LOOOONG days.
I can believe those 2 tasks would be enough for the day at your house!

I was in D.C. on 9/11. Finally got home on Saturday. What a horror for our nation and all Americans.
Last night we watched the debate and slept in a bit this morning. Today is floor-mopping day and mowing day. That's a lot to get done. I'd better get up and get at it.
Y'all have a good day. It's the only one we have right now.

I wonder if September 11 evokes strong memories for my kids as it does for me. Such a fearful day, made somewhat more personal for our friend group because one of us was a flight attendant who was supposed to be on one of the planes that crashed. She had switched days with a friend but it took a few hours to ascertain that. And so sad for her and her co-workers to receive the news. It is always weird to drive by the flight school where the terrorists trained when we go to breakfast on Sundays in Florida.
We did no****ch the debate from Block Island - in fact we were asleep by then. I hadn't been sleeping well earlier in the week but I think I have caught up now. We typically watch some TV news at night but spend more time reading the news in the morning while drinking our coffee. It seems like such a luxury to do so after so many years of rushing in the morning to get ready for work.
Block Island is great so far: Similar in some ways to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket but much more quaint. It seems like there are many more casual restaurants and bars on the water. The other islands seem to have reserved water view restaurants mostly for the upscale resorts. The hotels are in large old buildings that make you feel like you have stepped back in time. We are debating whether to rent bicycles or a moped. I prefer the former but we haven't been on bikes for quite a few years.
Enjoy your day all! Have a winning Wednesday!

Yep, last time for many things this year!

That recipe sounds good - I'll have to try that!

Ditto here. I consume the big American newspapers in the morning, but I haven'****ched TV news of any kind since DH died 6.5 years ago. TV news programs aren't long enough to do much except read the headlines. I can't tolerate any of the political programs or channels that air cultural/political drama-llama outrage. I figure at nearly 79 I'm much too young to watch TV all day and yell at the screen.
I admit, however, that I'm a Twitter victim. It's gone super downhill since Musk bought it, but I still follow a few people there for financial and market insights, actual journalists, and folks who've held significant business or political positions. It's like everything else--social media is as useful as the people you follow, and I curate my sources rigorously.

"My childhood best friend used to put a brick of cream cheese in the mashed potatoes in her passive aggressive attempt to murder her in laws who were on the Pritikin diet."
I'm trying not to scream with laughter (others are in the room, and they wouldn't understand). I don't have the courage to do something like that and, bottom line, am probably not mean enough to do it, but I can think of a few people I'd love to do that to!

We are kind of news junkies too. I read the paper everyday, and probably watch too much news. My preference is to watch old school national news like CBS , and local news. Not as much whipping up hysteria. My Dad religiously watches PBS Newshour. Very calm delivery of even very serious news. I always forget it's on at 6pm here.
