Wow! Even more rodent stories! I sure hope the stinky stuff back in my car works for the rest of the winter.

I never got the women at the gym with full makeup on. But of course if I am really working at all I sweat like crazy. Makeup trails down the face would not be a good look (and would sure mess up the towel). Sounds like your walking is strengthening you if going up a bit doesn't feel more difficult?

Must have been an interesting speaker. And what a thoughtful gift from Vale.
Darned destructive rodents are everywhere!

You are so right! We keep working on ourselves - this is our therapy group in a way. We share our ups and downs which helps each of us find ways to get better when we need it.

You realize some of those visitors may be turning up here after the 1st of the year? LOL!
Do Goldens tend to have sensitive stomachs or is it just unique to Kirby? I would have a tough time with that. Drooling dogs are in the same category IMO.
Google's AI just told me this: "While not all Golden Retrievers vomit frequently, they are considered a breed that can be more prone to digestive issues and vomiting due to their tendency to eat quickly and sometimes ingest things they shouldn't, which can lead to stomach upset; therefore, occasional vomiting can be more common in Golden Retrievers compared to some other breeds." Makes sense - Justice sometimes eats stuff on our walks that he sees before I realize it and has issues later. Since Kirby is young and you are in an area with a lot of hikers he probably gets at stuff more often.

I saw the play years ago in Boston, but haven't read the book or seen the movie yet. Hmmm... maybe the book next?
Absolutely zero interest in seeing Nosferatu.

And here I am learning TODAY that "Wicked" was a book before it was a musical on Broadway. Gee, the things I don't know!
Have seen the play on Broadway, but have not seen the film yet.

My mom had a coffee table book about movies when I was a kid and the still picture from the original Nosferatu movie was in there. The terror I felt seeing that! But I'd still sneak peeks to see if it was still as horrific as the first time. It still is to this day... gah.
Slow day here today. After several puke free days, Kirby proceeded to regurgitate 3 times last night, twice on my bed requiring me to get up and remove the cover sheet. Blech. So not good sleep for me. This morning we had pancakes and bacon, then Claudia and I went to the farmers market to find eggs (none in the store yet again due to the avian flu), then to Whole-foods and Safeway for everything else on the list. A dog walk followed and I've been doing very little since. Making shrimp/veggie stirfry for dinner.
That's all from Sedona! Still unseasonably warm and sunny and still crowded as heck with visitors. Can't wait for them to go home next week!
Take care everyone!
I was talking with a client today who is friends with Tony Kushner (Angels in America, updated screenplay for Spielberg's West Side Story). My client was telling me that he ABSOLUTELY HATED the film version of Wicked. Thought it was utter crap. I asked if he had liked the stage version, but she didn't know. I'm so curious about that. I read the book in the 90s. Was not fond of the stage production because of the major story changes. I enjoyed part one of the movie much more than I did the stage production because there was more of the book included in the screenplay. I guess we all have different tastes!
As for Nosferatu, acting was indeed good (though I wasn't completely taken in by Depp's performance). Cinematography... too dark for me. I don't like having to struggle to comprehend what's on the screen. So, literally too dark, not figuratively. Hahaha. What I found clever was the mixing of the two stories: 1920s silent version of Nosferatu and Bram Stoker's Dracula.
