January 19, 2021 - Tuesday - I took a break from old movies for the night. I think it was my sister that recommended Togo. Pancake doesn't watch TV much anymore but she was all involved in this one. She stayed pretty calm except when the dogs were in distress. Then she would run up to the TV and bark. Zak finally learned to ignore her.

January 18, 2021 - Monday - I spent most of the day with a friend doing a shoot for one of his friends. It was a fun day with delicious subject matter. We ended the evening at the grill. I have to say he has mastered grilling wings and his wife makes the best sauces. These were so good especially out by the fire pit. I even brought some home for Riley. She's a fan now too.

January 17, 2021 - Sunday - Today I watched Splendor in the Grass. I don't really understand why Natalie Wood become such a big movie star. I've not seen too many of her movies yet either. I don't know who this is but Warren Beatty hooked up with her and I see why. She's way prettier.

January 16, 2021 - Saturday - I think Grace Kelly might be my new favorite actress. She's just gorgeous. I watched High Society tonight. It's a remake of the Katherine Hepburn/Cary Grant movie The Philadelphia Story from 1940. I guess Hollywood has been recycling movies since the beginning. You should watch the original Scarface from 1932.

January 15, 2021 - Friday - I saw this once a very long time ago and didn't remember it well. I was surprised that this happened so early in the movie and so much is what happens after. Also who gets in the shower before they turn the water on??? Was there instant hot water in the 50's motels?

January 14, 2021 - Thursday - I have my list of movies that I'm watching and I'm back in the 50's. I do really like some of the horror movies from this time. This is one of the better ones. I thought both Steve McQueen and the actress opposite him both looked way to old to be in high school.

January 13, 2021 - Wednesday - Tonight was a good night. The three of us have not been able to meet for dinner since March. It was really good to get together, get caught up and have all the laughs we've been missing out on. It doesn't hurt this is one of my favorite places to eat too.

January 12, 2021 - Tuesday - Tonight for the first time I watched Gone with the Wind. Scarlett was a complete spoiled brat in the beginning. I wonder if women in the South back then were really like that. I was surprised Rhett Butler's famous line wasn't until the very end of the movie.

January 11, 2021 - Monday - I've spent a lot of time in front of the TV this new year. I'm still working my way through my list of movies. Tonight Pancake decided to keep me company. She'll usually lay next to me along my leg but tonight I guess she wanted the extra warmth of my laptop. She's a little spoiled sometimes.

January 10, 2021 - Sunday - So many of us across North Texas were preparing for lots of snow today. I know I was excited. I was pretty disappointed that in spite of the amount of snow we got none of it stuck. It was funny to see Zak be so hesitant to go outside when it was snowing. He's such a big chicken.

January 9, 2021 - Satruday - I was invited over to my friend's house today. They had a few neighbors over for dinner. The lady of the house really outdid herself with dinner. We had ceviche as an appetizer and considering I don't like fish usually this was amazing. The little bit of sweet potato and habanero pepper really added a little something something to this.

January 8, 2021 - Friday - I was able to wrap up things with work early today. I was able to meet a friend for a late lunch and then go out to dad's to see his almost completed man cave. It's been years in the making and he's so close to being done. It's good to see him being active still doing after all these years.

January 7, 2021 - Thursday - I very rarely watch YouTube on a computer or phone. I do watch a lot on my Apple TV. I came across a video of Bo Jackson highlight video and I had forgotten how impressive that guy really was. It always painful to see that one tackle that ended his career. Talk about what could have been.

January 6, 2021 - Wednesday - I got out for a meeting today before lunch and ended up getting pho with my friend and coworker. I took a photo of my pho for today's photo,  but ended up going out to pick up dinner in my old neighborhood. I sure do miss being able to walk out my back door and come here.

January 5, 2021 - Tuesday - I need to go grocery shopping again. I'm out of bread now, eggs, tomatoes and this was my last avocado. This was still good though. Just much more simple than I'm used to.

January 4, 2021 - Monday - I decided to take a break from old movies and started Cobra Kai. I've been seeing a lot of comments about it on social media and thought I'd give it a shot. I'll say so far it's interesting enough to keep watching but it's really just a pissing contest  with most issues that could be resolved with a simple conversations.

January 3, 2021 - Sunday - Today was a good. Riley and I got to see a friend's daughter that I've known since she was eight. She's 22 now. It's been a long time since I've seen her and much longer since Riley saw her. She made some of her famous cookies and brought a big bundle of them for me. I've not had these in many, many years. They're amazing.

January 2, 2021 - Saturday - Breakfast this morning was really good. I finally got out the other day and picked up some avocados. I was torn between making guacamole and saving them for toast with eggs. I made some guac not too long ago and Riley actually liked it. She usually doesn't like guac but she liked mine since I make it with lots of lime.

January 1, 2021 - Friday - Starting the year off right! None of that black-eyed peas stuff for me. It's Waffled Croissants stuffed with dark chocolate for lots of good luck and good fortune for the rest of the year. Part of me wishes I had never tried these. The last thing I need is to eat this much butter, but damn if these aren't quick, simple and delicious!
