More this and that

Don’t you just hate it when you’re all prepared for your Zoom and the meeting gets canceled five minutes before start time?  Sigh.

Working from home can be … interesting.  Today one of my neighbors was having major work done on their house.  So of course I heard the resulting noise all morning.

Tomorrow I’m headed to the office.  I like working from home, but I need a change of scenery.

I heard the meteorologist on TV refer to this week’s weather as a “roller coaster”.  Temperatures in the 50’s one day, in the 30’s  the next.  Tomorrow is supposed to be bitterly cold, but things will warm up again for the weekend.  And at least we haven’t seen any snow … 

It does not escape my notice that I’ve been working from my warm and cozy home all this time, but I’ll be traveling to the office on what promises to be a miserably cold day.

Latest culinary effort: potato kugel.  I bought potato pancake mix but didn’t feel like frying the pancakes.  Very messy, and that much oil isn’t so healthy.  So I decided to use the mix to bake a kugel, a savory pudding, instead.  And then I got the idea to bake the mixture in my mini muffin tin.  It came out really nice.  I ate far too much kugel.  I think I’ll use the muffin tin for kugel again.

    At least you won't be trudging to the office in snow and ick. It's good to get out of the house sometimes.

    It seems to me that going to the office is an agreeable part of the sociability of working. A fifty-fifty split between working from home and being with others seems about perfect to me.

    If I could get a desk type job, I think I would love to work from home, at least for a while.

    Potato kugel sounds good. Anything potato sounds good!

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 ...

  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...
