Morning all. A bit brisk here in Windsor today with a hint of the dreaded “S” word. In honour of our tea drinkers we have our not so famous Rum Flavoured Teas, served with Maple Scones......was busy in the virtual coffee shop yesterday...nice to see.

Was watching Marple on PBS last night. Many have played that role...who’s your favourite.....

I should have known. No disrespect to my Canadian brethren I can't stand KD. It's right up there with Broccoli as most hated food. SWMBO, on the other hand loves the stuff.

correct...KD!

Wow… that was a shot in the dark and didn’t expect it to be the correct answer!

well that’s depressing! Honestly the real KD is aweful. If we get any it is always the white cheddar versions. Those KD commercials make their neon yellow crap look positively unappealing.

Morning all. We have Butter Toffee coffee on today, takers?

Answer to yesterday’s trivia...the first NBA game was played in Toronto on Nov. 1st, 1946 between the Knicks and the Toronto Huskies.....

It was movie night last night, went and saw the latest version of Fantastic Beasts....I have a four point rating scale... poor, fair, good, excellent....I would say this one was fair....if you are a fan you would like it...but it did have some needless scenes in it..... about 20 minutes should have been on the cutting room floor.

I’ve been working on a uke arrangement for the Beatle’s song For No One. It’s funny how youth clouds things....when younger I was quite the Beatles fan...but now that I’m in my 70s, and researching the lyrics to their songs.....sooooo many I would consider junk today..... they have many that are truly wonderful...but much junk as well.....which begs the question what is your least favourite Beatle song.......unleash the hounds...........

I don’t know why, but lately I’ve had Blue Jay Way and Your Mother Should Know stuck in my head. Strange choices for ear worms.
