Cleaning up at home, organizing, and reading. I see High Stakes Poker is back on the air with Gab Kaplan and AJ Benja on the PokerGo network. Worth obtaining an annual subscription just to see this acclaimed poker show. Nice!
I have such a high stack of books I'm reading right now. Too many books.

Really enjoyed this on YouTube:
I seem to get sicktracked from reading A Promised Land. Only 600 pages left! It's cold outside and hard to run or do anything beyond staying warm inside.

This morning, Chris, Fred, Brian and I had a great conversation about our Grandudes table reading and how organized and professional Heather's group was. Everyone enjoyed it.
Continued reading Stony the Road, which is so good. I'm finished up chapter 3. I'm 150 pages in and have two chapters left. The negative messaging of blacks after Reconstruction and into the Redemption period that brought about Jim Crow laws is really informative and speaks to the rampant racism that exists to this day.

Had a short morning session with Chris about yesterday's Table Reading.
Watched a funny SNL Beethoven skit from the past that I'd never seen before. Funny!

Chris and I had our table reading today. Really fun and thrilling to hear a few actors read our lines. I loved it. We began at 2 and ended at 4. Once our recording is up, I'll capture a few images.

We had a meaningful Wednesday Elders session this morning. Dorian had an agenda all lined up, but it was thrown off track when Glenn interrupted the morning prayer, saying he didn't feel comfortable with morning prayers by the same person every week. So after 30 minutes of discussion, we decided to rotate the morning opening. It was something that had come up a few times before but was never settled. Now it is. What came from that was a series of talks about religion in the U.S., and how faith and God and religion have been used by black and white followers. Dorian reminded me that slaves were killed for reading the Bible and even learning to read. The stories from Caste are still in my head. America needs an intervention in 2021. It does not like criticism of itself, and yet there is so much to criticize.
This is one of my favorte SNL commercials...Beck Bennett never disappoints.

Lots of work today, along with a 30-minute planning call with Michelle Silverthorn, a diversity speaker who will present at Hanson Bridgett next week. Very nice woman.

Emailed the latest draft of our Grandudes script to Fred and Heather. Looking forward to the 19th!
Ordered Pakastani food tonight from DoorDash, a break from what we've recently had for dinner. It was delish!

Working and proofing Grandudes today. Had our Monday 5-6 meeting with my racquetball gang, then Grandudes revisions with Chris at 7. I'll send the script to Heather and Fred tomorrow morning. Glad that's behind me!

I spent most of the day revising Grandudes. Chris and I got together around 3 and went over changes for two hours. We received toques in the mail from Chris and Elizabeth! How nice!

Lots going on. Updating Grandudes again for a December 19th table reading. Not a lot of changes going on, but enough to absorb several hours. Chris and I talked at 7 tonight and went over a few changes we needed to make.
Ordered a few Christmas gifts. I'm about 30% done.
Bought this book, which is coming on Wednesday.

A day of rest and baking. I made pie dough for butter tarts, banana bread, and raisin bread in the bread machine.
