G'day. What a lovely day. Well, not temperature-wise, as it was 24F when I got up and walked the dog this morning, and had barely crept up to the freezing point by noon. But, still a nice day. We took Linda and Mike to see the matinee showing of It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, staged by the Annapolis Shakespeare Company. It's running through Christmas Eve, so you have plenty of time to go see it yourself! This is the second year we've enjoyed this production. While some might say it's not the cheeriest of stories, it is…

We had a lovely supper tonight at Seasons 52 in Columbia - a holiday dinner with my co-workers and plus ones. I had half a chicken, Marcia had some seared cow, both were delicious. Dessert: tiny, delicious, and overpriced. Still, we'll go there again: Recommended. Marcia continues to make great progress in her hip replacement recovery. She's been driving for a week now, and spending a fair bit of time standing, walking, and working on stuff in the house each day. Huzzah! The week was weird. I took a couple of vacation days on Thursday and Friday. Got a few…

Windy, cold day today. Quite a shift from yesterday's 70° loveliness. That's okay. I stayed busy all week and all weekend. Today, for example: Marcia is doing great. She's done with the cane, mostly. She did most of the laundry work today, other than the "carry bits up and down the stairs" part. Strength is going up, pain is going down, and she's weening off the last of the heavy pain killers in the next couple of days. Next up: Driving! We enjoyed watching the first episode of Amazon's new car show: The Grand Tour this week! I'd missed having…

A good week for theater! On Wednesday, we attended Poe... And All The Others, a new play by Tony Tsendeas, as presented at Reynold's Tavern by the Annapolis Shakespeare Company. Last year's production of Poe was one of the first shows we saw from this company, and it was a good show. This year's production, again featuring Brian Keith MacDonald and Renata Plecha, is simply superb! The new script is much stronger, but still works very well in the confines of a dining room at Reynold's Tavern. We turned up at 6:45 or so, and enjoyed a good salad and…

That was an interesting week. I went to Ohio on a one-day business trip, but got bogged down by flight delays getting out there. That didn't leave enough time to get the work done that needed doing, so I extended a day. Unexpected, but much better than a second trip Real Soon Now. And all the work got done. Yesterday evening, we had Linda and Mike over for supper, and a rousing game of Cards Against Humanity. Very much fun, thanks to the CAH team, and Walt's Cards, the vendor at Capclave that I picked up the game from at…
