Patience, My Friends

How was your Christmas?...right, it was hard...perhaps, you were fortunate to have your loved ones near by...some how...be it live and in person, by the tele, or by the video chat of many sources out there, now...we had the latter...and, tongue in cheek, it was a Porky Xmas...bacon for breakfast, ham san for lunch, and pork ribs for din din...had a couple of vid chats with the kids...which was not only cool, but needed...

My ongoing rant about no presents under the tree...that also has been a continuing issue of a problem that just kept on going...and going...and going...you see, we agreed to no presents...as we had got things for the condo, that we called them 'the presents'...for each other, er, us...however, back on November 18, I did something that was needed, I surmised...we each no longer have our original wedding rings...Marsh mysteriously lost hers on a trip (?)...kidding, the diamond fell out in our original yard...and I gave mine to my son, when he got married, as the well, whatever that is called...anyhoo...I got us new rings (wedding) for this Christmas...thing is...they didn't arrive...they had been sent, but were apparently 'lost in the mail'...still, I never told Marsh...at about 5 pm last eve, on Christmas Day...I got a text from the concierge, that we had a package...the 'present' had been delivered to the wrong condo...and one of the workers there, also works here, too...and walked the package over...

Turned out to be sweet...she was completely surprised...I went thru the whole reason for the season, thang...and said to look at the engraving...oh my...they screwed that up!...it was supposed to say 'Christmas 2020'...instead, they had 'November 18, 2020'...the day I ordered them....we laughed and thought, what the hey...just as good...here is a pix...

The rest of the day, was spent watching some downright pretty boring NBA hoops...will say, if healthy, the Brooklyn Nets will dominate the east...and the Lake Show will do the same in the west...we decided to go out and take a convertible ride throughout the city and the beaches...kind of to see what is open and what the city looks like now...despite the rule of no outside seating and eating at restaurants...we did see some doing so...and they were jam packed...then, got the itch to run over to our fav donut shop to see if it was open...alas, IT WAS!...triple chocolate delights, were in the back seat of our car, for the remainder of the excursion...

Now, the rest of the story...be PATIENT, my good friends...

Alas, Prez-elect Joe Biden and VP-elect Kamala Harris are less than a month away from resurrecting this country to what it should be...in the interim in his '30 days of Hell', we have to withstand the trump's version of rule...not signing nuttin'...probably closing down the government...certainly NOT signing the Covid relief one...as he is out on the golf course, playing...he is, the most disgusting human being I have ever seen...

The commentary about a 2nd strand of the virus, is beyond belief...can this be true?...

The bomb that went off in downtown Nashville...was right where we often would walk while there...the reasoning for it?...by whom?...still to be answered...

The Boeing Max airplanes were released again...and on a test run, one of the engines shut down...ah, admit it, folks...don't fly these...

We attempted to watch the new flick by George Clooney...naw, not my type...gave it 15 minutes...nope...instead, watched chapter 6 of the Queen's Gambit...which always keeps me guessing...

You recall in the past election, all the time that trump devoted to slamming Prez O for golfing while on duty?...'do as I say, not as I do'...trump has shattered all marks for being on the course...what is the cost to us, $51 million bucks and rising?...he is all yours, you forevers...what you gonna do with him in a month?...PTL?...phone in your donation?...

Now this...is for the Pinnacle people only on our stack of '04'...what will happen first, the pandemic is over or our bedroom windows will be cleaned?...

Even Pat Robertson, has told trump to give it up...not the golf, but the presidency 'fraud claims'...leave before he is ridden out on a rail...

Guliani, the minister of madness, gave a call to Prez-elect Biden, and asked if he could stay on...Joe, amidst a gaggle of laughter, collected himself...and asked 'as my personal photographer?'...

Our resident (from afar) DJ for the blog, Snooki, has this song for ya today...'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' by Michael Buble...ah, amongst many others...written in WWII time, 1943...by Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin...from the flick 'Meet Me in St Louis'...the song was for Judy Garland...
