Happy Boxing Day

Hello everybody, happy Boxing Day!

Thus far today, I have been drinking coffee, I ate an Entenmann's mini-donut for breakfast (one of those is quite enough), and I have been watching funny meme videos on YouTube courtesy of older son, who just spoke to a customer service representative about his missing luggage after being on hold for two hours. (No, that's not an exaggeration). It sounds like the bags are still in Amsterdam. I hope he gets them before he has to fly back to Germany.

The sun is out for the first time in what now seems forever. The temperature is supposed to top out at over 20 degrees today, which seems like a heatwave. I plan on going out in the afternoon and, at the very least, going for a run/walk combination. My exercise has taken a real hit the last week or so.

Yesterday, after Christmas dinner, we watched Glass Onion: A Knive's Out Mystery on Netflix. It is a fun movie, definitely worthy of a rewatch. Beyond being a murder mystery, it's a good send-up of modern "influencer" culture, with Edward Norton playing a not-so-exaggerated version of Elon Musk and David Bautista a Joe Rogan-like podcaster. 

After family had left, we caught up with Slow Horses and Fleishman Is in Trouble. So, as you can see, it was largely a television Christmas.
