Thursday miscellanea #401

  • Should I have eggnog with Jack Daniel’s? Or eggnog ice cream with Jack Daniel’s poured over it?
  • Florence Henderson has sadly added her name to a devastating 2016. RIP.
  • Nathan is excited about getting his aquarium going again. Multiple mentions have occurred several weeks apart, so maybe we’ll give it a go. He didn’t do so well with the upkeep last time.
  • Looking forward to Championship Game Saturday. Bittersweet, though. It’s the last semi-normal-feeling college football Saturday of the year.
  • We have Sling TV now and I’m more happy than sad, but haven’t pulled the cable plug yet. I want to see how well our main TV does with a hard network connection, and I haven’t crawled under the house to deal with that yet.
  • Lea’s still thrilled with the new Leamobile. I’m glad. I’m pleased with it myself.
  • I’m glad December is here. Always starts hectically, and hums along in that vein for a good while. But I’ve learned to pull it in starting about the 20th no matter what’s happening. Looking forward to that.

  1. Our next door neighbor makes The. Best. Eggnog. Ever. It has brandy & cognac in it. I don’t even like eggnog, but this stuff is crack.

    Wish I shared your enthusiasm about Christmas. It wore me out a long time ago. I’m already in survival mode around here.

    Agree with you about college football season. It goes way too fast. But looking forward to a possible January trip to Tampa makes it a little more bearable!

  2. It is remarkable how fast football season flies by. Every year we remind ourselves to cherish it, as it’s over quickly and gone for so long, yet we’re somehow always surprised after the final game.

    Please report on your Sling experience. I think I will cut ties with Direct TV in January. I bought 2 smart TVs this year and realized that I almost never watch cable any more. I would like to know if you miss anything.

    • Cheryl, live sports is literally the very last significant draw cable/satellite has. When I get the cable run in the crawlspace I’ll go to it and let you know.

      (I can report–I already think it’s cool as hell on mobile devices.) 🙂
