Another this and that

-

 Driving home from Drew’s house on Sunday, I couldn’t help but notice one house that was still decorated for Halloween, a handful of houses decorated for Thanksgiving (mostly those inflatable turkeys) and more than a few houses with Christmas lights.

Hanukkah begins Sunday night.  I will have to look for the house that goes all out with Hanukkah decorations.

It’s going to be very busy around here for the next few days.  Tomorrow night we’re taking Jen out for her birthday.  We have three Thanksgiving celebrations, brunch with an out of town friend, and then Hanukkah.  

We are going to have to start thinking about where we are going out for Christmas and New Year’s.

Though my supervisor at work just told me that I’m getting a new laptop and two monitors, meaning I’ll be working from home for the indefinite future.  I wouldn’t mind a hybrid schedule, part time in office and part time work from home.  But I’m not happy working from home full time.  I miss the social interaction with coworkers and colleagues.  Sigh.

Still, things are so much closer to normal than they were last year.  That’s not a bad thing.

    I'm happy with not having to commute (especially in our winters!) but I do miss the social interaction. Virtual meetings just aren't the same. Right now my company has no "back to work" date for those still at home (I think we are at about 50% back) and I am actually happy, given They are letting me keep my desktop and two monitors for now.

    There is something about being stuck in your house indefinitely. That's one reason I'm glad to be back on campus. I noticed that so many people put up Christmas decorations way early this year. I haven't seen many Thanksgiving things up.

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
