Went to Hamilton Mall yesterday and saw a jacket at Land's End. It was more than I wanted to spend--$139--but I reasoned I'll be wearing it everyday in the cold weather, so I bought it. It's one of those puffy kind that makes you like the Mifflin Tire man or the Pillsbury Doughboy. Not my favorite look, especially in light of my weight loss, but it's really not bad.
Now I'm not sure I want to keep it. It's very warm and Land's End puts out quality stuff, but it's snug enough so I probably couldn't wear a sweater under it. On the other hand, it's so warm I probably wouldn't need a sweater. But on the other other hand...
Damn! I'm always so indecisive! If I keep it, I may regret it. If I take it back, I may wish I hadn't. Guess I won't take off the tags, and will just stew about it before I make a move.
Had a nice talk with Betty. She's baby-sitting for Finn and Claire overnight. Boy, anybody who has taken care of a 6-year-old and a 1-year-old that long knows what she's in for. Good luck, Sis!
Was pleased to get a call from brother Frank in Alameda. He asked for our mom's recipe for her modified Chex mix, which we call "Nana Mix." My boys love this, too, and I always make it for the holidays. It's much spicier than the usual bland stuff. Both of Frank's daughters are expecting soon, always a nice bit of news as the Byrne descendants increase and expand. As Betty pointed out, there have been--I think--8 or 9 grand- and great-grandchildren born to the famlies of the four younger Byrne sibs in the past six years! As to how many descendants, plus spouses, there are of our parents, some of us have tried to figure that out, but it's difficult, for various reasons. Maybe I'll take another stab at it one of these days.
MONDAY, MIKE, AND THE EMPIRE
I spent some of the morning dealing with Little Egg Harbor Township, after getting a notice that my mercantile license (for having a rental ...

Rosemary,
The other day on the History channel they mentioned Michael Byrne the 8'2 inch giant.....do you have any info back to the beginning of the 18th century when Michael Byrne lived? How about that gorgeous hunk Gabriel Byrne?
Ho, ho, Pat, I don't think there's any relationship. "Byrne" is such a common Irish name, it's almost like "Smith" in the U.S. Incidentally, my brother, Jim, as a son named Michael Byrne, but since he was adopted, it doesn't seem to be relevant. Remember Brendan Byrne, the former governor of Jersey? No relation there, either.
