Bread Maker arriving today

On my way home on the bus, I remembered my new Bread Maker was being delivered today. The Amazon product listing did not mention whether or not the maker included an initial bread making mix, so I thought I should go buy some after getting off the bus. Knowing Cub Foods would probably be overwhelmed […]

Thanksgiving proclamation

Have a safe and warm and fun, Thanksgiving Day tomorrow, everyone. Enjoy your time away from work, and enjoy this time with your family, or maybe with your friends. Try not to stress out too much about Uncle what’s his name, or Cousin so-and-so, they were placed in your life for a reason! Happy Thanksgiving […]

Bread Maker ordered!

Ordered myself an Oster Bread Maker this afternoon. Should get it by Wednesday afternoon/evening. Gonna try it out that night or first thing Thanksgiving morning. Been invited to share Thanksgiving with a couple of friends – they’re (without them knowing) going to be my guinea pigs. 🥖🍞🥖🍞🥖🍞🥖 😱😉🤓

Start of the holiday season

True story. [i wish] Ok, not a true story. [but, it could have happened – just not here in Beautiful, Quiet, Calm, Downtown Apple Valley] Driving home from the transit station just now, I encountered not one, not two, but THREE houses that had their Christmas lights turned on. In each case, I drove up […]

Netflix and new series

Watching the new NetFlix series, “The Kosminsky Method”, aware that there would be several guest cameos. One of whom was to be Ann Margaret. So, in she walks, and I am just STUNNED how amazing she looks. Be still my heart. I cannot believe I’m saying this (out loud) about someone who is in their […]

Don’t you hate this when it happens?

Get home, unload the backpack/briefcase of some personal papers and iPad, and then notice no work laptop. Ninety nine percent sure it’s still on my desk at work, but that nagging one percent says, it fell out of the backpack between the office to the bus, or getting off the bus. I would expect someone […]

Listening to some good music while working on the hobby

Been working at the project table for last couple of hours, listening to Pandora, on my “Scott Bradlee and Post Modern Jukebox” station. As you already probably know (but in case you didn’t), a Pandora station like this isn’t “all” music by that particular artist – a “station” just plays music of a similar genre, […]

Significant outerwear sale(s) at my fav clothiers

FYI Land’s End is having a 50% off promotion sale (today, at least). “WINDY50” Eddie Bauer is 40% off (today, at least). “COUNTDOWN” LL Bean – no promotion, full price. Guess where I bought my new winter down parka from? Actually I bought one each from the two places that had promotions, and we’ll see […]
