Like many other people the Phactors have pretty much stayed hunkererd down although the new propane patio heater has been used to keep the cooler temperatures at bay for a few days longer. However having a big thermos filled with hot gloggwine also definitely helps. In an effort to not let culture totally take a vacation, an exhibition was mounted to visit Chi-town and see the Monet exhibit before the 30 paintings privately held by local people once again retreated from public view. It was a good exhibit and the museum did a good job of keeping people spread out. Unfortunately the state of the 'ronavirus here in Lincolnland has led to the Art Institute reclosing for the time being. Good timing.
Gardening came to a rapid halt with a huge leaf round up effort. A bit of parsley in very good condition is all that remains of the 2020 garden. A nice late crop of dill weed was put to good use with goat cheese and thinly slice smoked salmon.
After having elected a new president, who knew it would be so difficult to get the old one to leave? Can't figure out if T-rump believes his own fraud fibs or not. At least the courts somehow keep demanding evidence although none seems to be forthcoming. If this was all a giant conspiracy against him, how the heck did he get elected in 2016?
The Queen's gambit was a very enjoyable series set in the height of the cold war, when even playing a Russian game made you a bit suspect in the eyes of ever suspicious spooks and politicians. Our recommendation is that you give it a try. The chess parts were well researched and TPP loved seeing a cute Corvair coupe (he had 2, a sign of a definite slow learner) Interesting that the only place where success at chess was extolled was Russia.
Only us and the F1 and her personal philosopher will be doing Thanksgiving. Ms. Phactor is a world class pie maker, so in addition to apple using Norrthern Spys, should it be pecan or pumpkin? This is important.
