Bring on the merry merry, the ho-ho-ho, and all the Feliz Navidads!

Don’t mind me… I’m just going to be over here for a while… (sniff, sniff)… 😢
Friday is Movie Night.

Kiddo and I make a snack tray and watch anything she wants as long as it’s previously approved.

Tonight is a Disney nature documentary, “Bears”.

She shouts at me every 30 sec to “Watch this part!” and narrates everything.

I can live with this. ☺️

The FDA may put a 'black box' warning on COVID-19 vaccines, CNN reported Friday, citing 2 people familiar with the plans.

A 'black box' is the most serious type of warning and highlights major risks such as serious side effects and restrictions. Opioids, eg, often have one due to risk of addiction

Debating with kiddo whether Cumberbatch Grinch, Carrey Grinch, or Original Grinch is the best.

Kiddo insists Cumberbatch Grinch is the best with unbreakable confidence.

Kiddo has never seen the other Grinches and I have.

Of course, kiddo is right, but that’s not the point.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

So ready for my 1-month social media vacay tomorrow.

A Mamdani win in NYC, two governor seats held by sane people, and a stable PA Supreme Court is a great start. Maybe I’ll ride that high until I’m back for the holidays.

Anyway, all the best to you + yours. See you for the Jingle Bells.

“It smelled of onions and mustard. [The sandwich] exploded all over my chest.”

Oh, that poor, poor Border Patrol officer. How did he ever find the strength to push through that traumatic deli incident.

What is this world coming to? 🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪

Getting ready for an annual one-month deactivation as the big deadlines approach.

Always good to unplug now-and-then. 🔌

Congratulations Dodgers (and Blue Jays). That was an epic World Series you both gave us.

Precious moments helping kiddo through that disappointment. We also discussed how awesome it was that both teams wore the # of a player absent while helping his family with a crisis.

⚾️ at its best.

In a year of drama, visiting a kid’s Halloween event with my “bunny princess” + unexpectedly running into Glinda, Elphaba, + a 1/2-dozen princesses in full costume + character will go in my top 5 of ‘25. 🥹

Glinda was so legit with us that I had goosebumps. We all need a little magic now + then.

Can a reporter just ask Johnson: “Why can’t you just seat her… I mean what you’re doing is kind of a d*ck move, isn’t it?”

Exactly in those words. Come on news media, restore my faith in your profession.

Kinda feeling bad about that Mariner’s beanie I sent to Seattle for my mom’s husband’s birthday when they were up 2-0.

Also giggling impishly that it arrived today as the Blue Jay’s dumped them out of the postseason.

Just sayin’, he’s given me a lot of grief over the years.
