I wondered who the Guest is.
In Germany it's raining all day. I planned to go to our Christmas market but decided against it. So I will have some hot punch at home.
I bought the new TV guide yesterday. I was curious about the program on New Year's Eve. Every year they broadcast/show (don't know the english word for it) concerts the whole day. Last year they showed concerts of T-Rex, Peter Frampton, Toto, The Eagles , Seal, Doobie Brothers, Queen, Rolling Stones, Earth, Wind & Fire and and and...
Our party starts on 8 pm so I can watch it during the day. I'm really looking forward to see Pink Floyd! Here is a little list for this year:

Wow, that's an impressive showing for the evening - Bruce Springsteen, The Pretenders, Pink Floyd... This isn't a channel we can access on Sky, is it?
Which Eagles concert did they broadcast last year?
I doubt it, GEF. The channel is called 3SAT. Usually I don't watch this channel, only 3 times a year when they broadcast the concerts. They do this every year on holidays.
Last year they broadcasted FW1. HFO was in 2002 and 2004.
No new material, no Eagles.
Today began the annual Cursing of the Cookies. Every year Mom, Sis and I get together to bake a bizillion cookies. That day is tomorrow. We also all make two or three additional kinds on our own and bring them to share on Cookie Day. So I was in the kitchen at 7 am foolishly expecting everything to go smoothly.
The cursing didn't really reach a high point until I realized that I couldn't find the decorations for the cookies and that I had put the first batch in the oven without setting the timer. By the time I had my fourth cup of caffeine, I had calmed down enough to only want to throw the cookie gun across the room twice. (Those Zen readings are really making a difference for me!)
But all is well and the cookies and candy are ready to take to Sis's tomorrow. That's tomorrow morning when I have to leave the house at 6 am to pick up rolls at the Italian bakery, drive 45 minutes, pick up Mom and drive to Sis's where the cursing will resume.
One of the best memories of all this is that when things would get loud and ugly in the kitchen, Daddy used to come in singing "Happy Holidays!" Hey, who do you think taught me to be a wise ass?

The cricket is far too one sided. Glenn McGrath is good, but I don't like it when Australia is so dominant.Originally Posted by Anonymous
