Happy Black Friday, I guess, to all of my loyal and faithful readers and followers out there in the hinterlands and vast wasteland known as cyberspace.
Yes, I know that there are a lot of bargains offered today at stores everywhere ... but ... folks ... isn’t it sick to spend the night in front of a BestBuy or WalMart or KMart to make it inside when they open at 6:00am, or whenever?
Yes it is, especially when almost all of the same bargains will be offered online on Cyber-Monday.
Billi Pod has many vices, but ... Thank God==>shopping ain’t one of them.
Anyway ...
Had a GREAT time yesterday with my AA buddies and their families at an awesome Thanksgiving Dinner hosted in a very posh Upper Westside apartment.
Holidays are often very difficult times for people in recovery, even for those of us who are blessed with long-term sobriety. We had a great time sharing our experience, strength and hope in a non-stressfull fellowship environment, bolstered by an ton of excellent food.
As I wrote yesterday, everyone had previously agreed to be cell-phone-less for the whole time ... and ... we were ...
Yep, Billi Pod was disconnected for a little over 4 hours and he survived.
It was around 5:30pm when I got back to PHC. Had thought about seeing a movie, but instead I just settled in to watch football and that was OK, even though in the night game the Jets got their collective butts whipped by the Patriots by a score of 49-19.
Timmy Tebow didn’t play a single down. Why? Well, it was reported in today’s papers that he has two broken ribs. Oh well ...
Today is going to be an entertainment doubleheader even though it is a Friday ...
2:00==>GRACE - “A fundamentalist young couple try to start a new life in sunny Florida with big plans to open a chain of Gospel-themed motels. An agitated neighbor/scientist and a condo pest control man complete the eclectic foursome.” (Broadway - discounted TDF ticket)
This comedy opened to mixed reviews. It features Paul Rudd and the incomparable Ed Asner.
Then for the evening is ...
8:00==>OY VEY! THE PLAY - “A new comedy about a wealthy widow, her three daughters, her son and her Rabbi, and what happens when a handsome stranger enters their lives.” (Off Broadway - $9.00 TDF ticket)
This show is playing at a theater on my block and I think tonight is its first performance.
BTW==>according to today’s papers, HALF ASS U is favored over the GATORS by 8-points.
This game has major BCS implications. Half Ass U has the top statistical defense in the country, while the Gator offense has been awful and our starting QB, Jeff Driskel, is hobbled, or at least not at 100%.
It’s gonna be a nail-biter down to the final play.
Moving on ...
Had a decent walking day even though a lot of the day and evening was spent in front of the tube watching football.
Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>5.53 miles (or, 12,094 steps)
Total mileage since 7/1/12==>781.80
Mileage remaining until 4/23/13==>297.20
GO GATORS!!
