This is a good list and this year I am actually going to watch Holiday Affair which I've never seen, but right now I have on Desk Set, which I will never tire of. I wish you all the best this season.

I hope it was at least cleansing. Not that the refreshed feeling after a certain type of cry ever seems to last very long, but I guess I'll take what I can get.

I cannot believe I forgot about these. And your instinct is right; he is giving off future supreme court justice vibes.

I have no memory of this, and it seems like something awfully hard to forget.

As it should be.

I hope the break does you well. I'm feeling a little 'off' at the moment and am still trying to decide how best to restrengthen myself. Talk to you later.

I actually transcribed a few recipes into a word document this week so I wouldn't lose track of them, but the only pasta recipe was baked with cauliflower and fontina. But somewhere I have a recipe for lemon linguine or spaghetti.

It's odd though, all the people I meet, and yet my Christmas card list remains the same length it has been for decades.

I think this sounds like a great idea. I wish us both luck.
