It’s midnight at Howdygram headquarters, and as we limp into 2013 Sam and I would like to wish all of you a Happy New Year filled with good health, wonderful things and plenty of Mongolian chicken. We’ve had a quiet evening at home (as usual) with some fine movies and leftovers.
Incidentally, the United States fell off the fiscal cliff last night. Sam and I landed safely on the sofa in our family room, where he ate a whole pumpkin pie for dinner with a can of whipped cream and fell asleep around 10:15; I enjoyed a bowl of tuna salad and watched
After the Thin Man and
The Apartment on TCM.
So far this fiscal cliff horseshit has been largely uneventful, although
CNN.com is reporting that, according to Vice President Biden, an agreement has been reached but no vote will occur tonight in Congress. This is no surprise whatsoever. We wouldn’t expect the blowhards in Congress to actually
do something.
For your possible interest I managed to tear myself away from the Howdygram’s holiday festivities tonight to purchase the following fantastic crap from
Wal-Mart.com. This included three cans of Folger’s hazelnut coffee, three cans of Folger’s French vanilla, two bottles of Equate Arthritis Pain Reliever
— best pain reliever EVER — and two packages of very cheap Ziploc round storage containers.
Thank you, as always, for reading this.
