Weekly Update 1/15/2023

There was a lot of football to watch, but not a lot of GOOD football. The College National Championship game was an embarrassing showing for TCU. They looked like they were still playing JV ball. I can’t say I’m disappointed that UGA won, but I was hoping for something that would have been a test, not a rout, to prove your team is the best in the nation. For the NFL playoff games, the Bills didn’t look good, and if they continue to play like that, with the turnovers and mistakes, They won’t get much further. They were lucky to win against the Dolphins, who had to play their third string QB, and still only lost by 3 points. The Jags had an incredible come-from-behind win that was exciting to watch.

I got my haircut again this week. Because I’m trying to let it grow out, they hardly cut anything off. She gave me some tips about how to style it. But, the thing is, I don’t want to “style it”; I want a good cut that will need not me to do much work to look ok. So for a trim and some hints, I paid a lot of money.

I ate out a lot this week. I met John and Mike for lunch after DH on Thursday. Mike’s daughter, Moiria, who now lives in Boston, joined us as she was visiting. It was great to see her again. Helen, Jane, Denise and I went to the Kayak Cafe for an early lunch on Friday instead of going to Green Square. Because Jane’s not fully recovered from her broken hip, she suggested going to a place closer to her home to avoid driving too much, and a place where there’s no stairs to get in, and a parking lot near the front door. Kayak Cafe me all the requirements, and the food was good, too. Kay and I went out Saturday night, but just to a salad bar.

After lunch on Friday, I went to TLC for an art gallery opening. One of the people I met when I took the tour of Milledgeville last month, L. Smith, was displaying his art. He crochets, and not just with yarn, but also with plastic bags and other materials. His work is very personal, because he will often use yarn from old sweaters and afghans that people in his life have discarded. He takes them apart and re-creates wall hangings. I love the colorful creations.

Adrian is still just as adorable as always. The photos and videos continue to delight me.
