The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. 52F at 7:52 a.m. with a projected high of 69F. Gary has finished his morning chores and is settling down sipping his first cup of coffee and reading the paper. On today's agenda, the skimmer is full of leaves and crud and must be cleaned out today, Mary Lou wants the Tri-Tip BBQ-ed and a trip is planned for a visit to Mary Lou's aunt and Gary's cousin, both of which are in the hospital.

Wow, Alabama did not win their conference and may not make the CFP.

I'm on cup of coffee two (ish...how many cups does a large coffee from sbux count for? haha), and I'm writing comments for report cards. The coffee takes the edge of to help me stay focused, and removes crankiness so I polish the truth a little more appropriately.

We bought a real christmas tree for the first time yesterday, and I'll be headed out to buy a few more strands of lights for it when I finish. We'll decorate it, maybe bake some cookies, maybe take some family photos.

For sure, we'll be eating smashed burgers for dinner tonight. They're one of our favorite meals.

I've heard good things...I don't think my daughter is quite old enough yet to get through an entire movie in one sitting.

Do they dub the movie with German-speaking actors/actresses for the performances there? Or do they play them in English? (I know you Europeans are much more proficient in other languages than we are here in the US)

Mary Lou wants to see it again. See saw it at El Capitan, a theater in Hollywood owned by Disney. It is one of those old grand theaters, seats 1,000 with the huge screen and opulent interior, across from the Chinese Theater. Disney had a mariachi band in the lobby and a pre-film performance of Disney characters.

Dave hasn't seen a movie in a theater in MANY years. Once saw Mama Mia in Galveston but that was over 9 years ago.
There is an old theater in Cleveland.
But we already pay through the nose for TV. And watching on TV requires no fuel or buying theater snacks.

Might want to recheck the news. Know what Alabama Football and Disney have in common? They're both the place where "Dreams Come True". LOL

Sorry @limr you Had a "premature" woot there

Okay ... Alabama vs. Clemson and USC vs. Ohio State and a couple of other games that do not matter.

We are 13-4 over Clemson and in hind sight the loss to Auburn keeping us out of division championship might have been a blessing as it gives more time to recoup from injuries.

My son and me watch the movies in English ... my wife likes English subtitles ... but daughter is seven ... can 7 year old American Girls read German? ... it was 3D ... don't need it ... Commercials were pityful, only Aldi was world class ... Disney idiots were allowed to create a stupid short ... in exchange Disney did not have a say in tje main course ... good for us!

1. arrive half an hour late
2. book 2dimensional
3. enjoy
4. watch Aldi commercial

Just back from my 81 year old uncle’s place. He’s in remission after having stomach cancer last year. One of the lucky 13% (IIRC) to survive the type of cancer he had. The chemo really did a number on him though and he doesn’t have a lot of energy these days. He mostly just watches sports on tv and walks his dog around the block. He called while I was out shopping with Princess this morning to report his tv had died and asked me to keep an eye out for anyone looking to give one away. We decided to forego a few items from our wish list and use the money to get him a new tv. Bumped him up to a nice 47”. Knocked on his door a half hour later with a tv covered with a big bow. It was a fun surprise and we got it installed in time for him to watch the kickoff of the Pats game.

Now I need to call Comcast and get him a HD box. His cable box is about 20 years old and did not have a HDMI port!

In other news:
Our HS team won the state championship yesterday, 21-0. Hopefully a parade will be happening which would be a great photo op for yours truly.
