From Facebook: “You can play for awhile if you want,” I said to Jayvee, the twelve-year-old. Of course, he jumped up and ran into my room, played Maple Story while I watched “Milk Man” with Harold Lloyd and Adolphe Menjou. A delightfully silly film which made me laugh more than I have in ages. (Jayvee’s remarks while playing were just as much a pleasure.)

Rascal showed off by creating a new character and getting it as high as mine in two hours. (Only took me three days.) But now I’ve finally made it to level 20 and was given a pet as a reward. A “Mini Yeti”. [!]

Yesterday TCM showed Judy Garland movies all day and I watched seven of them. My favorite of the selection was “Meet Me in St. Louis”. That sorted out the Earworm which had been stuck on “Mele Kalikimaka”. Just a few months early, I grumbled, but as usual it paid no attention to me. At least now it’s happy with “Meet me in Saint Loo-ie, Loo-ie, meet me at the fair …”

I did buy Motrin, or a generic version of it, and my leg is much better. The drug not only provides instant pain relief but seems to have chilled it out permanently. I’ll be more than happy if it lasts a long time.

And I’ll also be more than happy if Hurricane Alicia arrives here a doddering old lady.
