Today, we had the family Chanukah party, delayed until everyone could attend. It was the usual family party: latkes, briskets, and special diets. Children underfoot. Interesting gifts: some hits, some misses. But we had fun, and I got a real neat book on musicals. More importantly, I got some stuff that I could spend on m’self without feeling guilty… there went the first page of my Amazon wishlist (well, mostly… 13 items, of which two are books (one for my wife, one for my stepmother); 1 is a DVD (The Great Race); and the rest are CDs (Follies (1971), Sherry!, How to Succeed (1960s), Sweeny Todd, Side by Side by Sondheim (1976 London), Lucky Stiff, Best of Randy Newman, Zorba, and two CDs to replace ones that have gone missing (which means they’ll turn up now): Boy from Oz, and Thor. Modern Millie).
Other than that, not that much to report for the day.
As a reminder: If you’re a friend of ours, and you’ll be in the LA area on New Years Eve, and have an interest in Boardgaming, please comment and let me know.
