ReplyDeleteLet the music inspire your work this week.
DeleteI love holiday fruitcakes! A ride in a Ford Trimotor sounds like fun. I hope it happens.
ReplyDeleteI have a seat on Friday, assuming the weather is as predicted.
DeleteFruitcakes for Senior Lawyers! Are they different than fruitcakes for Junior Lawyers, lol?
ReplyDeleteMore nuts.
DeleteI also love Vivaldi; puts me in a quiet place.
ReplyDeleteI assuming the Ford Trimotor is some kind of plane, so I hope it happens for you.
We are cooler down here for the week and into next; cool enough that I may actually make soup this weekend; goddess I love soup!
Much cooler here.
Delete"Ford Trimotor" What is that? It sounds interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteFord built airplanes in the late 20's early 30's (and again in World War II) The tri motor was an early airliner designed by Douglas, who later went onto for McDonald Douglas. The first expedition to the South Pole included a Ford Tri Motor - I read a book last year written by one of the flight crew on that trip. Before the Tri Motor was the Ford Fliver, a tiny single engine. A test pilot who was a personal friend of Henry Ford died on a test flight, and Henry scrapped the project, only one prototype remains.
DeleteI'm feeling the same about the campaign contributions. I can't believe how many requests keep coming in the mail and on my phone.
ReplyDeleteSilly amount of asks.
DeleteThanks for explaining what a Ford Trimotor is. Wishing you a safe flight!
ReplyDeleteI am an old plane geek.
DeleteThe fruitcakes look superb. I guess it helps to bake a fruitcake if you are a fruitcake.
ReplyDeleteAnd a little nuts.
DeleteI am mad-jealous about the fruit cake! Good for you !
ReplyDeleteI might be off the wall. But I like fruit cake.
