Ramblings

It’s so nice to be able to work from home in bad weather.  It’s been so cold and miserable, but I am warm and snug here in my house. I haven’t really gone out since Friday, except to collect the newspapers and to change the batteries in my Ring cameras.  And even though I usually prefer to shop for myself, I had groceries delivered yesterday.

We were supposed to pick Jen up at the airport Monday night (flying home from Chicago, she’s got a friend who lives there) but her flight was delayed by about four hours (landed after midnight) and we paid for her Uber instead.

Lucky Becca was just in Florida.  A friend’s wedding at a beach resort.  Fortunately she didn’t run into the same travel problems Jen experienced.

Drew and I are thinking of going to Florida in a few months,  we have friends who live in Tampa, we’d like to visit our friends.  

But for now we’re dealing with NY in winter.  Brrrr.

Remember back in June, when Drew and I went to a community theater production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s Iolanthe?  The director asked Drew to be in this year’s production, H.M.S. Pinafore. Drew said “yes” but I wasn’t certain he’d follow though.  He went to his first rehearsal last night.  He’s in the chorus. The shows will be in June and July.  Guess I really must learn the music for this one.

I’m glad he’s doing the show, he really needs to get out of the house.  

Ever binge YouTube videos or podcasts?  As I mentioned before, I’m  a bit obsessed with a YouTube/podcast personality, Mr. Ballen.  He tells stories.  The stories are described as “strange, dark and mysterious”.  Lots of true crime, unexplained phenomena, weird coincidences.  One day you’ll hear about a gruesome murder, the next you might hear about a ghost sighting, and the day after that he might talk about a guy who fell into an active volcano crater.  Scary stuff. But he’s very entertaining. I’m loving it.

Interesting stuff to keep me busy when I’m stuck inside …
