We just finished weekend one of Jesus Christ Superstar and I'll go into that in detail in a bit. First, the country is going through such stuff and it's so big that I thought I should sometimes just pick one particular facet and tell you what I think. Today, it will be "American exceptionalism". I …
Grrr Arrrgh, plus Death Becomes Her, Anora
I think I should probably prepare to write a blog post revealing my opinions about what's going on in the world right now, the efficacy of protests, my fears about my own life, my family's safety and rippling outward through my community, my state, my country and, you know, all of us everywhere. I don't …
The Rest of It
aka Random Isht I didn't cover in my last post. I've been doing some cooking! Ever since Thanksgiving, I've kind of wanted to recreate a turkey-and-stuffing meal. I know it's fashionable to hate turkey, but I love it, and stuffing even more. I got a slow-cooker turkey breast recipe (that involves a skin-on bone-in full …
Flurries
Of activity. Of snow. Of idiotic executive orders. I am not ignoring what's going on in my country right now, but I don't think this post is where I'm gonna talk about it. Anyway, a lot going on and I had to make a list because I'm a little behind. The Savoynet shows are cast! …
Harry the Homo-ner strikes again!
Over the last week or so, I hit a breaking point with little stupid things around the apartment that needed to be dealt with, but I was ignoring. "No one's going to do it, but you", I glared at my reflection. The latest thing was that yet another under-counter light in the kitchen went dead. …
Anniversaries, Gypsy, Jean-Georges
So, Monday the 13th was the 30th anniversary of the day I met Charles. Or, as I've sometimes put it over the years, "I woke up still unenlightened. But by bedtime, I'd found out there was a Charles Keiser in the world." It was and probably will be always the best thing that's ever happened …
Stereophonic, Los Angeles Plays Itself
So, yeah, first things first. Those of you who were tracking my trip updates last month might have noticed that, until today, I did not mention that my dad had injured himself 4 days in, and that put the whole trip in jeopardy. I, of course, had always had worries in the back of my …
Happy New Year!
Just a quickie-post to get caught up, as I now need to dive into the posts about the trip. I think I've learned how to backdate posts, let's see if that's true. I have loved being home and having almost nothing on the schedule. Getting caught up on TV, but mostly on paperwork (and laundry). …
2024 Wrapup
This was an interesting year, and 2025 looks to be more interesting still. I don't have much to say about the presidential election that others haven't already said, except that I am hoping that Trump's and the Republicans' ineptitude have them tripping over their own feet rather than implementing one horror after another. Oh, I …
There and Back Again
I've been out of town since the 8th, with no time to blog. Grateful to get back to my lovely home last night in time to order a pizza, watch Elsbeth and Red One, and go to bed early. Today will be about a cemetery visit and phone calls to family and friends, mostly. I'm …
