granddaughter who is almost four is eating bacon and eggs and sausage and a waffle for dinner. I give her a chunk of bbq beef rib meat and I was told I don't like meat while munching on Bacon.

Well, to quote John Travolta's character (Vincent Vega) when - with passionate emphasis, - during that wonderful dialogue in the diner with Samuel L Jackson (Jules), in the movie Pulp Fiction, he stressed: "But, Bacon tastes good..."

she is a real picky eater. would not try a slice of camel apple or a brownie or a chocolate croissant . silly kid but she went out trick or treating for the fist time and scored a 4oz heresy par at her first attempt.
 
All evening I've been following the results coming in for the election of governor in Virginia -- this isn't looking good right now, that creepy Trumpster MAGA whatever Youngkin is apparently in the lead..... AGGGGHHH!!!! Heaven help the Commonwealth of Virginia if he gets elected.

After staying up till just past 4 a.m. watching election coverage, taking it easy today. Getting in a couple of long-ish power walks and assisting in one, possibly two book projects (mundane stuff: bibliography, photo credits, quick fact checks, checking spelling of proper names and places, etc.)

I love this time of year when it's not too chilly, even with slight rain. For the first time in nearly two years I'm getting a chance to get in a good rhythm workout-wise. Looking at Yoga routines sent to me by a good friend a few years ago, considering getting back into starting this weekend.

And then finishing at least two books today before tackling several short story collections, print and online.

It was a way overpriced Carmel apple from new seasons( did not look at the price) and the brownies from there too wife told me they are really good.
 
I did not watch election results last night, so I had a great night’s sleep. Got the bad news upon waking this morning. I’m doing my first dissertation seminar this afternoon and looking forward to it. Hope I can help the attendees.

Just the idea of a dissertation kept me from pursuing a DBA./PhD. Even picked an MBA school that had a comprehensive test vs a thesis. But then again I read one book (1L) and that scared me out of law school.

So all the power in the world to you.

I chose my master’s program because there was no thesis, only comps. But I really like writing, so I figured what the hell. I’m done now. My final defense is a week from today. I’m helping steer the seminar today.

Here’s a much less painful thing to do:

Terrific news and the very best of luck with it.

All the best. When hubby was prepping for his final defense I saw how stressful (yet in a weird sense, relieving) it was. All that long, hard work is going to be rewarded. 👏👏👏

Well, he was up against Carter or Mondale, so who could blame you? ;)

Nope! When pops heard me praising that racist asshole he sat me down, told me his history and then asked me what did I think then? I thought he hated Carter (RR's opponent in 1980) because he was a shop steward and thought Carter was not doing enough for unions that supported him and had lost a ton of jobs. That was an eye-opening convo and I stopped letting empty rhetoric and sly slogans sway me. TBF, I was 12 going on 13. Carter was demonized by the MSM and was blamed for everything that went wrong in the country.

How no one could see through the underhanded dealings of RR's campaign with the Iranians to hold on to our hostages a bit longer to embarrass the sitting US President was mind boggling.
