Tidbits

I am excruciatingly tired/sleepy at the moment. Unfortunately, I am also baking a pumpkin pie, so going to bed just yet is out of the question. I also have no idea how this pie will taste because I had to, uhm, adjust Grandma Ginny’s recipe. (3 cups of sugar and only 1 [Boi-oi-oi-oing!] can of pumpkin? I don’t THINK so!)

Just heard on the news about a guy rescuing some people trapped in a car by smashing the window with a 20-pound turkey. Talk about Thanksgiving!

Thanks to my sister’s call, I got to see the Eurythmics perform on the American Music Awards. They sang “Missionary Man” and “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).” The latter is the first Eurythmics song I ever heard: Spring of 1983, during a WLS “test pressing”; I was sitting in my car at the Cross County Mall in Mattoon, Illinois, and decided, immediately, that this band/song was unlike anything I had ever heard.

I was smitten from first listen.

Did I mention I’m tired?
