A little of this . . . a little of that

Alison, Robert and Summer went to Indianapolis to visit Colin; they are staying overnight. Cameron and Der Bingle and I are here holding down the fort. It is quieter, although my little dance at their departure was almost jolly.  The cat is pissed – she is with her not favorite people and I must keep reminding myself she was Mother’s cat.

We were going to have Jim’s Pizza as a special treat, but they are CLOSED for the holiday week. CLOSED!!!!! A local outfit, they are only open Thursday, Friday. Saturday and Sunday evenings for take-out during the year. CLOSED. So I went to Scott’s and grabbed up an eclectic mound of food – cole slaw, potato salad, cheddar and horseradish cheese, a shrimp ring, barbecue pork and barbecue beef, a cranberry salad, fancy little bread sticks and pomegranate juice. Later I had a turkey sandwich and two deviled eggs. I suppose this is boring, but I’m managing it because I am also watching a show on Atilla, Huns and Constantinople’s wall.

Cameron and Der Bingle are watching a Leslie Nielson movie and Cameron is laughing the patented Cameron giggle/chortle/guffaw. Loudly laughing it. Now earlier, he and I watched the 1931 movie “M”, made in Germany with Peter Lorre. I read the subtitles; he partly understood the German and read the subtitles also. And now he’s watching snicker humor . . . Oh, well.
