Say, that is adorables.

So here I am all alone at home on Christmas day. I have heard/seen suggestions that this should make me very sad and melancholy. Possibly even suicidal. That is not what I'm feeling. If I had to put my feelings into words I would say: I feel like I have gotten away scott-free with a perfect...

I watched Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. It's fairly okay. It has some really conspicuous speechifying moments and other turns that don't feel natural. It's obviously a play. I guess the big question is, will Chadwick Boseman get a posthumous Oscar nom - which I think the answer has to be yes -...

I am caught up on Your Honor. It's not bad. I feel like they have been too obvious in the set-up and taken a lot of mystery out of it - but what're ya gonna do? I know where we're going to end up but it seems like the journey should be reasonably diverting.

Black folks in North America often have interesting names. Devonte, Shannequa, Tre'Davius. I feel like there's a cultural thing going on. I don't mind the concept. Mixin' it up. I think it's at least partly about rejecting the sort of names slavers used. I'm down with that. My only...

I'm with the FBI on the one. There's enough stupid shit going on without a guy with a jetpack incurring all the time.

I watched the movie Mank. It's pretty good. I'll probably want to watch it again sometime I'm not so constantly tired so I can better appreciate the crackling dialogue. I wonder who it's for though. It's about the making of Citizen Kane. Apart from criticky types like myself do people today...

I guess I'm cheering for the Buffalo Bills. It was not part of any plan but my gut has taken over and I am cheering for them whenever they are on and I'm actually seeking them out each week. Go Bills and whatnot.

10. Just hit double digits in October.

I, by the way, am so out-of-it due to punishing overwork right now, I actually had to check the date to see if it's Christmas Eve. Made me look.

Oh, sorry, I'm guilty of not understanding whether or not people are joshing around. Or maybe we're joshing around now. Or maybe both. Or maybe not at all. Story of my life. You know what else I've got here? An Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 Waterproof Floating Bluetooth speaker. That was my...

I'll see if my sister and family want it. I'll offer the t-shirt too. I wonder why they wouldn't stick something Blue Jays in the bag. Leafs? Raptors? Buffalo Bills even? I probably wouldn't wear any of it but just in terms of the world making sense . . .

My employer continues to be pretty generous. Yes, they have been driving us like cattle for quite awhile. It started in, what, March?, when sales of masks and sanitizers started going nuts - and it has been a continuous escalation leading to many of us working 60-hour weeks one-after-another...

A 2-foot ladder is a small ladder. There are times when I might use it - such as taking down my smoke alarm when it goes off when I make raisin toast - perhaps doing a bit of killing when a spider goes into the upper corners - but I also have a folding chair which does that job. The folding...

I agree with everything that has been said so far. :handshake:

Would anyone like an extra-large San Antonio Spurs t-shirt? How 'bout a 2-foot ladder?

. . . with a generally solid understanding of the rules of punctuation.

:handshake:

Now 10% of my company's workforce. That's who's had the covids. Well over 700 cases. Canada is quite a bit lower but the US and Mexico are higher so overall: over 10%.

Speaking of random, I won a little thing at work. They draw names at random for the 12 days of Christmas and I won a random prize. A 2-foot ladder in fact. Whatever. That's not even the random part I'm getting at. There is a little gift bag that comes with it. Chocolate, some gourmet...
