So yesterday, my sister and I went shopping at Costco and Fred Meyer in preparation for the family's Christmas Day Do at my sister's house. We were gone for more than a couple of hours...just slowly walking through both places and making sure that my sister got everything that she needs. After we brought everything to her house, I had to go shopping on my own for the things that I'm bringing: eggnog, diet Pepsi (and a couple of other soda flavors), and something else that I forget but I know I got.

Then, a little later in the evening, Shelly and I had dinner at my mom's. Shelly made shrimp for her and my mom. My mom made some steaks that she got from QVC, and I had a couple of homemade hamburgers (I'm not a fan of steak or shrimp). We all also had baked potatoes and it was all quite delish. We played a game of Phase 10 and I won! Then we came home and I zonked out.

Today, we both have separate errands to run, then we're going over to Margo's house to help decorate her Christmas tree, and then Shelly and I (and maybe Margo) are going to the free annual Messiah Sing-Along downtown at the Washington Center.

Amazon Fresh is moving very slowly this morning, but it has arrived, the delivery is put away, and have to pick up all the empty bags and put them in the trash.

DR Ginny, about that church production of The Business of Good Government that Richard was un: do you by any chance have a program? If so, could you scan it?
Thanks!

TOD
Alka Seltzer with Alice Playten

These three remain my favorites of the past 10-15 years:

Regarding BK's mention of The Graham Norton Show -

I really enjoy this clip, where Graham Norton so spontaneously brings Dame Judi Dench into the story with such humor

I've got to get moving soon on some - naturally, last-minute - errands that need to be completed today.

Must also top off the tank, which I believe is going to run me $2.59/gallon.

We're supposed to have an inch or two of SN*W tomorrow morning, which will certainly require some cleanup, and then tomorrow night I'm going to my friend's annual Dec. 23 bash. So everything else must get done today.

DR RODZINSKI - Huntz Hall as Jesse Lasky was good.

There was a scene at Lasky's house where he was watching his albino gorilla that was in a cage. The commentator said: "This is not the first time Huntz Hall had worked with a gorilla, but it was probably the first time it was a real one."

I watched two documentaries on HBO MAX last night.

Class Action Park - about Action Park in New Jersey during the 1980's. Lots of injuries and problems and of course grift and graft by the owners.

Lula Roe - about some MLM scam involving women's clothing - and it's still in operation.

We should probably get to page 2 before noon (Eastern). It shouldn't be that difficult.
