So, I was on my phone and a text from the Estate popped up followed by one from my cousin. She sent me an advance because my brother and I have to have received the same amount in advances by law. This means a) my brother needed or wanted more money in advances than me, making me the more responsible one-- and... b) the final accounting went to the probate attorney's office earlier in the week. Long story short, it will probably happen in March. Now that it's winding up, I'm kind of freaking out about the decision of the home to buy. It's a big decision and I haven't done this before. You'd think I'd be ready but I'm not-- there's so much to know-- and you hear so many stories. I'm going to have a talk with my sister-in-law and drag all the variables and figures on the table. I've always thought and continue to think this wouldn't be half as stressful if I weren't living with a drug addled grifter with a personality straight out of hell. His karma is coming.

That's disgusting.

@Bernard Thank you!! Re the LH -- yes! I actually played it for my teacher yesterday, probably the best I've ever played it. It's such a "simple" piece (i.e., not "notey") so it kind of lives or dies by the musicality.... Which is always hard to capture in recording or performance bc of nerves.

Was watching a UK vlogger's latest video about a recent 3-day trip to NYC. He went to see Death Becomes Her on Broadway. A glass of wine during intermission (in a take-home branded cup): $32!

Jack's bathroom decor looks fantastic! Well done.

It is, and easy as it could be. It’s a big lift to make boneless chicken breasts interesting, much less delicious. I get the air chilled or Purdue Perfect Portions, which are pre-brined. Prefer the air chilled. I do recommend fresh herbs for this.

If they aren't busy then next time I'll ask for a peek inside for more data!

Life finds a way.

70's/60's until Monday, Feb. 23 when it be (and Tuesday) low 50's/ low 40's. Somewhat hard to coordinate everything with changing temperatures and no climate control.

I don't think think the definition of sentient is ambiguous myself.

Colbert interviews Talarico, the one CBS refused to air but Colbert put it on the Internet: Link to video

Durand-Brager These I love and would buy, the sea, sky, and a cutter. Imagine them on walls around your dining table. [image: 1771286111759-20230529_140237-resized.jpg] [image: 1771286111915-20230529_140241-resized.jpg] [image: 1771286112093-20230529_140244-resized.jpg]

These are two ads are for the same car. This will be my first project. The asking price is high. It's been on the market for a several months. It will sell at a premium but I can't imagine I couldn't negotiate the price lower.

How nice!

I wish we had chipmunks in our residential neighbourhoods here. They do live in forested areas here, and a few hours north (where my parents have a very modest cottage) they are everywhere! They are ridiculously cute - way better than squirrels!

@Axtremus No I retired from that several years ago. I've been a church organist of late although I miss trucking. I'll share some organ vids from time to time. Hope you are well. I'll tell Rach On! I said hi to you.
