TV Bullet 1: Hoarders Season Premiere. It’s on the tiVO and I would have seen it tonight, only Gary took an hour out of my life pinning me down on the guest bed. While he was asleep. And snoring. And with my controller out of arm’s reach.
TV Bullet 2: I have decoded the penultimate episode of Monk. I know, so has everyone else, but I just want you to know I’m as smart as all the rest of you.
Literature Bullet 1: Gary says he has nothing to read, so I suggested Mom’s Mapp and Lucia books. He shunned them, so I sorted them for my own uses and come to find out, Mom is missing the first two. Amazon willing, they should be on my porch tomorrow.
Science Bullet 1: The socks that cost LXV dollars (I can’t stand to type it out) came today. The package also included a complimentary tape measure (to size the other cashmere / woolen items we might order) and a small wooden ball. (No idea. Moth repellent?)
Gary Bullet 1: I told Gary that Mac was out fence-racing with the guest dog next door, who is a beagle. “Oh,” Gary said seriously, “Does it look like Snoopy?” I did a little analysis and beagles bear no resemblance to Snoopy.
Literature Bullet 2: The Complete Text of It Was a Dark and Stormy Night, by Snoopy.

The little ball of yarn that came with your expensive socks is there in case the socks get a hole in them and they need to be darned. That way you’ll already have matching yarn to fix the hole.
mapp & lucia = most excellent.
My guess is that the little wooden ball is either cedar (which you can tell by smelling it) or it’s to put in the heel of the sock for darning. But I think only my parents darn socks anymore.
Damn. Just now read that it was a wooden ball, not a ball of yarn. Amy’s right, and I clearly can’t read properly.
Mapp and Lucia are a brilliant read – and even more brilliant to watch, is the Granada TV series with Prunella Scales and Geraldine McEwen. Look for that on Amazon too – you’ll be glad you did.
Ah, Monk, how I will miss thee.Hubby shouted “noooo!” when part 1 ended. As if they’d reveal the contents of the tape before the break….We watched Sunday’s marathon to see if the present had ever been on the mantle or bookshelf in past seasons.
Faythe – See below, rabies lady. Magpie – It was so long ago that I read the books that it will be brand new. All I remember is moonlight sonata and Georgie saying “tarsome.” Amy – It looks like cedar, but it doesn’t smell like it. Faythe – Yes, because you have rabies from being attacked by squirrells.Big Dot – Oh, I remember it well. It was on Masterpiece theater here. I think its why Mom bought the books. Caroline – Yes, I wondered that too. I also thought of you when they mention the ricin poisoning (To others – because of our chemistry project. Don’t be alarmed.)
