Semi-random thoughts

  • My wife was carded when she wanted to buy a senior ticket to a movie. She was so happy.
  • I went to the Leonard Cohen concert at the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn. A friend of my wife's invited us to the private suite her brother's company has there. It's very comfortable, but I don't think they should call it a suite--it's only one room.
  • I really like Citibank's remote check deposit via cellphone service, but I wish they'd raise the $1000 limit.

Happy Festivus!

To all Seinfeld fans (and non-fans), Happy Festivus!

BlankTo the tune of Let it Snow:
What a lovely day for Festivus,
a Festivus for the rest of us,
this is the place to hate,
let them wait, let them wait, let them wait.

It doesn't show signs of stopping,
I bought some caps for popping,
aluminum pole's aglow,
let them know, let them know, let them know.

With the feat of strength at hand,
stop crying fight your old man,
so go and drink another beer,
T'is the best time of the year!

What a lovely day for Festivus,
a Festivus for the rest of us,
gather your family around,
cut them down, cut them down, cut them down.

No need for decorating,
as tinsel's too distracting,
all you need is a metal pole,
cleanse your soul, cleanse your soul, cleanse your soul.

With the feat of strength at hand,
stop crying fight your old man,
so go and drink another beer,
T'is the best time of the year!

Micro movie review

Hyde Park on Hudson: The fine story of FDR's meeting with the King and Queen of England in 1939, while simultaneously starting a relationship with a distant cousin. Olivia Colman's portrayal of the Queen is very, very different from Helena Bonham-Carter's in The King's Speech.
