Christmas Eve Day Live Blogging
What’s going on in this household on the day before Christmas.
The day started early; as in 4 am, for normal folk.
Woke up. Could not get back to sleep in 30 minutes. Got up. Checked out the sorry state of the world, via the web. Did some minor modifications/tweeks on code for an app I’ve been working on.
7:00 am: Worried the distaff into a state of wakefullness, commensurate with the tasks ahead of us this day.
8:00 am: Discussed, over coffee and some rather spicey breakfast burritos, what we needed to procure for tomorrow’s feast. These burritos, provided by a man who came to our door selling them, to order, in order to raise funds to buy his son a computer, were rather spicey. I had to eat some sour cream—straight—in order to tone down the fire. And these were only the X version. He offers XX and XXX as well. However, he suggests the XXX only for people you are trying to punish. I can believe it.
8:30 am: The menu is decided upon....
A Monty Python moment for the 21st Century
I don’t know who these guys are, but we need more of them.
