Back in the Swing of things except not so much
Because Caroline is home due to MLK day so we aren’t back to a normal schedule yet. Tomorrow will be back to totally normal or as normal as we get around here.
We did watch the Golden Globes last night and I give best speech of the evening to Robert Downey JR with Mo’Nique a very very close second. I did like Meryl Streep’s speech about how she is just a vessel for all the wonderful characters she plays. She is such a Yalie in that respect. But Downey tickled my funny bone and woke me up. Ricky Gervais did pretty well. His sense of humor is not for everyone and the double entendres didn’t go over well with Middle America however he was killing in the room according to those who were there. Michael C. Hall and John Lithgow received awards based on the last season of Dexter and deservedly so. Both were powerhouse performances. So an OK but not great awards show.
Much to just about everyone’s amazement, the Jets beat the Chargers. I wonder if the Bengals regret and the Colts are going to regret letting the Jets into the playoffs by not beating them. Most of the other games were one team tap dancing on the other team. So we still have the two teams with the best record for the year in the race. So it is the Vikings vs. the Saints and the Jets vs. the Colts for a chance at all the marbles. I am figuring on Vikings vs. Colts with the Vikings winning it all at this point.
I have my new glasses which my eyes are adjusting back to since I have been without glasses for a week. It is nice to see clearly again rather than fighting through the fuzz.
I am grateful to have glasses that work again.
