John Lennon was assassinated on this day in 1980.

The world keeps turning. Have a somewhat pleasant day.

My father's and one sister's birthday.

It’s December 8th already?
It’s supposed to be in the 50s and possibly 60s over the next several days.
Stay well.

Supposed to hit the low 70s today, but cooler weather and rain moving in tomorrow. Only gonna see the low 60s on Friday.

A typical pandemic Wednesday here. We'll get our walk done later this morning. Zoom social call this afternoon. Then in person choir rehearsal tonight. Dinner will be leftover potato leek soup and French bread from last night, a dab of turkey from making the quiche the night before, the remaining one quarter of the quiche, and a salad.

I did finish the chords for the obscure Christmas song for the choir, "A la Nanita." Maybe not obscure in parts of the world.

Good morning. A lot of bad news has been piling up but letting it get us down doesn't help a bit.

I got most of the Christmas lights up yesterday. Some neighbors were irrigating and seepage from the irrigation system made part of our yard soggy. I wasn't going to get up on a stepladder that was sitting in mud. By Friday it may be dry enough to finish.

Some odds and ends are planned. Enjoy your day.

Good morning

Finished up a small batch of humidifiers yesterday, selling most of them today, good, but damn, start over.

Morning.

I bought Anna a little harp for Christmas. I just tuned it up and checked it out. I think I have a knack for it. Already I can play two tunes, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and the ABC Song.

[epaul]

Make that three songs. Just added "Hot Cross Buns" to my repertoire. I think I really am a natural at this harp business! How much do harpist get for wedding gigs?

This morning I went to the Rec Center, for the first time in 23 months. It was good to get back, not many people there but a few I knew.

After exercise I did a little Christmas shopping and then stopped at Jams for some coffee.

Morning all. Slept in until 7 today, very usual for me. Dropped the truck off at the Ford store, they want to do a software thing to the engine. Back at home making brunch, a veggie scramble. Doing laundry and catching up on other chores. Gonna work on Suggeree this afternoon, trying to make it smooth and not wonky.

Conducted a zoom arbitration hearing this morning. It went quickly since the defendant did not appear. This year end is a bit busier, work-wise, than most others.

I retired in May, 2014. Yesterday I was thinking back on my job and realized I don't remember how to do it. Good thing I don't have to.

Feels like I retired just yesterday, but it’s months now, and still little idea of what to do with myself. My guitar is still just an arm’s length away. Somehow that doesn’t help quite as much as it should.

Have good ones.

A woman in a Nissan sedan has made 3 deliveries here for UPS this week. Her car is loaded with packages.
Does UPS have a truck shortage going on?

Feast of the Immaculate Conception today. 16 years + of Catholic education and those feast days are hardwired into your brain.
The nuns said “the sun always shines on December eighth “. Damned if it didn’t this morning.
