It's not helping that the heat in the building is on, even though it's closing in on 60 out even at 9AM, has to be in the mid 80's in here with the oven on, I'm drenched. No Climate Change, nosiree.

For anyone near a PC tonight, I will be running a Christmas show instead of the usual Paul's Memory Bank stuff.
Starting time is indeterminate as I'm at a party at my brother's in Attleboro and traffic is quite nasty as he is in close proximity to this. I'm thinking sometime between 9:30 and 10 to start.
What I did find out though is that the show that used to be on at 10:30 is no more, just the replay of TUTN at midnight. So I will be expanding future shows from 1 to 2 hours starting next week.

Star Wars or Florida. Don't worry it is spoiler free. Harrison Ford's face palm is so worth it.

So, I have blogged my Joe at last. Looks like Liv and I got our opposite numbers.
So I have a neat little suction-cuppy speaker for my phone (which doubles as a stand), which may be useful around the store and other such places to drown out the corporate muzak.
And so in moments I will have to fend off a small counter-attack from Pastele Point, then we're off to MiL for Xmas eve. I have a new, unopened bottle of distillate with which to make a fine appetizer, consisting of a single olive in a funnel-shaped glass, and covered with a fine crystal sauce.
"Ecstatic Yuletide to the planetary constituency, and to that self same assemblage, my sincerest wishes for a salubriously beneficial and gratifyingly pleasurable period between sunset and dawn."
And remember kids....don't let this happen to you!
