May The Stars Light Your Way
With errands behind us, Wendy & I went to see the 4:00 production of THE TRIAL OF EBENEZER SCROOGE at Falcon Theater. They did a good job, and Donnie, who played Scrooge, did an exceptional job. It was an entertaining show. Since we were nearby,…
Wendy received a gift card for Max & Erma’s restaurant chain today at her office, so we went there for a light dinner. I had a bowl of their tomato basil soup and half a roast beef and brie cheese sandwich. Everything was good, and…
Wendy & I had some errands tonight, so it was a quick dinner at Steak-n-Shake. I had a Mushroom & Swiss Burger (not very good, honestly), some fries and cottage cheese.

We wanted a fake one that was pre-lit and looked better than my old fake tree (think wire hangers with a few pieces of green plastic). We found one and got it home easily. It was remarkably simple to get it set up, too, much to the delight of our cats. The still-unnamed Little White Cat had never seen a Christmas tree (this being his first Christmas) and was delighted to play under, around, and in the tree.
We completely forgot to pick up the wine, too.
