Been playing around with some AI video tools – pretty silly.
Currently Reading: We’ll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida. That last book I read about Brain surgery was amazing. I highly recommend reading it.

Hanging Out for An Afternoon with Mollie
I got to hang out with my old friend Mollie yesterday afternoon for lunch with our buds up north, Hard to believe she’s a bit over one year old already! She needs to have an operation on both her hind legs – they have a tendency to come out at the joint somewhere at times and has to be “put” back in. She’s getting the first one done in a couple of weeks and then the second one sometime after that. She’ll need to take it easy and do rehab and all that stuff. Poor thing, she’s very sweet. Good luck Molllie!

Historic Papermill Playhouse and Drumming
Finally got to check out the historic Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ and saw a great show there called “Mystic Pizza” which as you probably guessed is based on the movie/book. I could easily see this show eventually ending up on Broadway. And we can say that we saw it first, haha! I also got to play some electronic drums which I was surprised at how good the kit actually is. Kind of amazing. I also want to explore Millburn more when the weather gets better, it looks like such a cute little town.
We’ve actually been to that pizza establishment a couple of times. Might do another outing to check it with some friends sometime in the future.
Slushy Thursday
Today was super gross outside.

Eighty Six Years Young and Puppies
Saturday we got invited to participate in LD’s former landlady’s birthday. A glorious 86 years! Amazing! Yesterday we kind of hunkered down dealing with the snow (which thankfully wasn’t a big deal) and baked a bunch of things while running the Jukebox. Tasty treats like banana bread and muffins, chickpea muffins which are surprisingly good and of course, the signature lemon orzo soup! We also watched the Puppy Bowl which has become a yearly tradition. No interest in the actual Super bowl.

The Writings on the Wall….
Currently Watching: Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. So poignant, and yet uplifting in a way as well. Well done.
Love Bunnies Hopping Over a Cookie Plate
Took a jaunt over to Andover early this afternoon to pick up our latest addition to the collection – this pottery cookie plate. We don’t see this one very often, if at all, so had to grab it, and at a good price too. It’s also heavy as hell! Also dropped by a little library in the area and found a cute little book about the Velveteen Rabbit for LD. When I saw that, I knew I had to grab it for her. We’ve also been filling the libraries up with a book purge around here.
Gametime: Bash. Finished all the levels but it took me quite a but to solve the Bonus one. Felt very satisfied once I got it.
Currently Reading: The Sinners All Bow: Two Authors, One Murder, and the Real Hester Prynne by Kate Winkler Dawson. I’m liking this one, such a unique concept. The author comparing and telling the story alongside another author who wrote about the incident over 100 years ago.
