Morning! Coffee's on...

Morning all...on my second cuppa..hubby still snoozing, dogs have been out and gone back to bed..chicken crowing for his breakfast, me, enjoying the peacefulness for a while longer.


Pappy..
It's fine here. Don't know what is going on. I'll serve upside down cake with my coffee.

Pappy, you're a quick wit in the morning!

Sitting here this morning at the computer and the TV, as usual, is providing the white noise in the background. For the last half hour it's been a wonderful soundtrack of wind blowing gently and an occasional sound of crackling, as if a fireplace were burning seasoned oak logs.

I finally turn around and look at the screen, and C-Span is showing live coverage of a bunch of people standing around JFK's eternal torch. :eek:
 
Sounds riveting entertainment.
It was done and over here yesterday, we do tend to get confused with dates etc 'cos of that time zone thing. There's probably a channel still wringing it though, haven't put the TV on today, it's usually wall to wall sport on Saturdays.
 
A vast improvement on corny old Christmas movies and ads.

I used to like the corny old movies, even had my own pirated classics collection on VHS from the telly, but that particular fetish died out. Once you collect the whole set, the magic is gone - the thrill is in the hunt. Same thing happened to me when I completed my Humphrey Bogart video collection - you can only wear a fedora and fake a facial tic so many times before it becomes droll.

I just hope I never finish my collection of blondes, brunettes and redheads ... :(
 
For a few moments it reminded me of the Yule log that one of the NY stations (WPIX) used to broadcast on Xmas Eve - I think it ran for something like 12 hours straight, just a live video feed of a log burning in a fireplace.

.. that beats going outside to the wood shed for logs to put in your own fireplace!
