I think this covid shit has finally worn me down. I’ve not been visited by many delights — or maybe I have and I have not recognized them. I’ve been sad and angry many of these days, although there have been a few bright spots.
In no particular order some contenders for delights:
- Andrew and Alex joined us for Superbowl Sunday and a chili dinner (and a Zoom chat with Alex’s folks)
- I’ve had some nice chats with Clare
- We met with some friendly folks from a landscaping company about our backyard.
- The temperature got to 50° one day
- The snow was pretty one day with 2-inch flakes
- I think I am starting to like tofu
- Cocktails:
- Orange Blossom
- Old Fashioned
- Netflix binges:
- Emily in Paris
- Firefly Lane
- Books:
- Finished The Elegance of the Hedgehog
- Started and finished Firefly Lane
When I'm Sixty-four 
I feel your pain. I also watched the show Emily in Paris. It was kind of schmaltzy but fun – especially the scenes of Paris and the emphasis on stylish clothing.

Could I recommend something? Emerson’s Self-Reliance and other Essays. It is a deep dive but rewarding.

Thanks Lisa. I will try Emerson’s Self-Reliance and other Essays, but not promising anything. I rarely read non-fiction and never anything before the 20th century. It’s free with Prime reading so, I’ll give it a go.

The writing from the 19th century takes some getting used to for sure.

I did read The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin a few years ago as a reading challenge. I just need to challenge myself! 🙂

I laughed when I read your first sentence, even though I realize it’s not a laughing matter. I guess maybe the humour was in the honesty. Hugs.

Your snow photo is a delight to me. And I laughed at “I think I’m starting to like tofu” because I swear I could hear the amazement in your voice.
What was Firefly Lane like? I’m debating whether to watch the TV show.

I’m too pissed off at the author to be able to be objective, but I loved it before I read the book.
