pan pizza, et alia

thanks, papa john's and aarp!

I've rediscovered a new favorite: pan pizza!
The moment I picked up the pizza box, I knew there was something inside - such delicious mass!
Why did it draw me out on a cold day?
I had ten bucks from AARP Reward points, $2 in Papa Dough, and the special knocked off another 4 dollars.
I paid $2.56 for pepperoni and banana peppers on a pie that's been lunch and dinner, plus breakfast tomorrow.
My favorite food for three meals - life is good!
(smile!)  

thanks, SBHF37 and City of Savannah!

The Savannah Black Heritage Festival isn't over just yet, but I won't be making it to any other events by Saturday.
I should have been paying more attention as February began.
As it was, I caught three of the events: the one about literature at The Learning Center of Senior Citizens, Inc.; the one about history at our HBC, Savannah State University; and the one about music held at the Savannah Jewish Educational Alliance.
Every event of the SBHF37 was free and open to the public, courtesy of the City and various sponsors.
Most of the events were held midtown Savannah, making sure locals were present and the parking was abundant.
I'll pay more attention to scheduling next year!

thanks, comcast!

Because Comcast includes ME TV, Antenna TV, and seven PBS/GPB/SCE channels in my Basic TV subscription, I had a wealth of recorded shows to watch on this cold day.
The second of those channels provided me with "Just Shoot Me!", a show at takes place at "Blush" Magazone.
David Spade is the assistant to George Segal, who also has his daughter, Laura San Giacomo, on the staff, as he tries to make up for being an absentee father in her childhood and marrying her best friend.
Mostly, though, I like the spice added by Enrico Colantoni and Wendie Malick, and all the puns on the magazine cover!
Puns!!!
I get a lot of puns from "Toon In With Me", too, which is from that first free channel.
This time, Bill is pondering getting a part-time job, so he considers milkman (my Daddy did that!), pin boy at bowling alley, costermonger, knocker-upper, gong farmer, town crier, and even pony express!   
He even premiered two cartoons that were new to his show: "Ten Pin Terrors" and "Saddle Silly", both 7-minute oldies!
Toonie reminded him that his job as 'classic cartoon curator" takes all his time. (smile!)
Then, there's that plethora of educational channels to keep me informed and stimulated. 
The "Dream Of Italy" series must have been timed to prime folks for the Winter Olympics.
I just watched, "Andrea Bocelli's Tuscany", s3e1, which brought memories of vineyards in Livorno in 2002, as well as time in Siena and Florence and Pompeii on the trip with future nurses in 2012.
Here's the funny part, though.
I'd just recently seen similar footage, including inside the home of the Italian tenor, in a movie, "Solo Mio"!!!
Timing truly is everything!
Right time, right place!
