What happened today? I'll tell you what happened today.
Watched the Playhouse 90 version of Judgment at Nuremberg. That's the one where the natural gas sponsor forced CBS to silence the phrase "gas ovens". Thinking of Newton Minow's famous 1961 speech, the show was the best of television combined with the vast wasteland of the rest of it. Film of concentration camp horrors and opposing views of individual responsibility for it were followed by immediate cuts to commercials for Kleenex products. (If ever a show called for limited commercial interruption...)
BB stayed home while I shopped for supplies at Costco (tissues, paper towels, dishwasher pods) and resisted the Mexican Coca-Cola. Picked up cleaning products at Dollar Tree. Got the car washed, and as I prepared to pull out, said to the bar blocking the way, "Greetings, gate -- let's elevate."
Jack and Jennie arrived around 2:30 bearing Christmas dinner, either one dinner for a large family or dinner for 2 people for several weeks. Either way, we appreciated it.
Researched and ordered an air purifier from Blueair, which should arrive in a week.
Eyes are tired now, so time to close them and put on some audio-only entertainment.
