Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this.
He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in.

On a side note, cancelled flights are messing with our court dates, too. Had client who couldn’t get a flight for his trial here in Denver, so he drove 900 miles…got here & trial was continued 😲So he drove 900 miles *again* to get back home.
There’s real irony in this: lawmakers can’t get back to DC to vote to reopen the government because flights are canceled, thanks to the same shutdown they caused.

Ken Burns: The first US veterans were farmers, laborers & tradesmen. Washington called their endurance a “standing miracle.” On Veterans Day, we honor every generation that has carried that same resolve. Clip from our upcoming film The American Revolution (PBS Nov. 16).

Happy 250th birthday, U.S. Marine Corps.

We were distressed last night w/ “Caving 8” vote. Made a healthy soup for dinner. Good. Then we devoured a ton of cookies. Not good but so what.
Was gonna post soup recipe, but posting cookie one instead. Added chocolate chips b/c I could.

Aaron Gordon. We’ve always had voices for our pets. AG is so smooth & dog-sophisticated, we’re thinking of a Ronald Coleman voice. Or Adrien Brody (like the PI in Hollywoodland).

Happy Ending Story. This fantastic person rescues/fosters dogs in GA. This past week she picked up 4 abandoned dogs. Bunch of people on social media helped pay for vet bills.
Dogs are better now & have homes.

I drove to Arlington GA this afternoon and met with a policeman who I followed to a neglect situation. There were 6 dogs. I brought home 4. 2 had died. This is 1 of them. She’s precious.

Got the terraced bunks built in the opium den, the charcoal brazier and stool where Holmes sat will be in the middle. Nothing is glued yet, it still needs to be painted/detailed. Still available to a loving Sherlockian home! #SherlockHolmes #miniatures #art #fanart #victorian

Bootsy went bonkers at 3 am, running amok through the bedroom. Me to hub: “Maybe he needs to be fed?"
Hub: “He no longer likes Fancy Feast. He wants the Chewy cat food. Order’s coming in tomorrow.”
He rules our lives 😂

Thanks for the supportive comments. My #2 shingles shot reaction is ~50% less than #1, which is good 👍
Afterward, hub took me out for an ice cream :) Here’s a pic of the disco ball that hangs there. Sometimes they make a flavor called The Big Lebowski.

Heading out to get 2nd shingles shot. Had rough reaction to 1st shot, but others say 2nd isn’t so bad. Nevertheless, cleared my calendar for tomorrow, just in case.
Had shingles 6 years ago, NEVER want to experience that again (omg), so I’m grateful for the jab 👍

Texted the widow of a dear friend of mine (we lost him 1 1/2 years ago). Asked how things are, how did the move to a new place go? Didn’t hear back from her.
Today I realize I’d accidentally texted him.

That’s “puppy” Aaron Gordon in front - he’s now bigger than Traveller (in back) & still growing! We wake up every morning to Aaron Gordon talking to us (Rottweilers can be big talkers). Sometimes, I swear, he sounds like my husband 😂
