Having a fine evening. Her Ladyship was busy w Zoom so I went out for dinner alone. My first choice was closed (surprise!), so continued walking to the second, our Spanish Tapas place. 2 rounds of two _montaditos_ & a _Ribiero Duero Crianza_ each, and all was right with the world. Once fed, our local music venue was dark, so I headed home. Her Ladyship and I passed unwittingly in our elevators, me on the way up to home and her on the way down to nearby dinner after her Zoom ended early. Soon she was back; a bowl of soup is a quick meal. At which point my SIL called; we’d been playing phone tag at my behest for a week now. She’s out in SoCal and between flaky phone in her home’s canyon, busy schedules, and a 3 hour TZ difference it takes something to actually talk. All is well at the other end of my geographically extended family. My bro, her ex-husband and best friend, is stupid busy & never answers his phone but is otherwise healthy & happy. Their kid, my nephew, is killin’ it in IT & the world continues to vex everyone. Yaay! Now with the last episode of _Mr. Mercedes_ winding up I’m about ready to wrap this MMP and see y’all in the next one tomorrow. Should be clear and cool first thing; Fall = dry season is upon us. Might beach; might not. Did pre-arrange my beach gear. About ready for more UV if it’s warm enough to be outdoors naked. Cheers all & see you on the flip side!! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-pumpkin-spice-bleck-mmp-old/991304)._
