Don’t sleep on Bob & Doug McKenzie’s version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”. What started as a quick time-filler on SCTV quickly turned into an overnight sensation, with a movie and award-winning comedy album. I remember watching the movie “Strange Brew” at the dollar theater in Sandy Springs with Don Head.

Not much over here. Left work shortly after 5 pm Thursday. Topped off the air in my tires and stopped by Dollar Tree for 8 items. Ceil cooked chili very good. M ate with us. Watched Jeopardy, Young Sheldon, and So Help Me Todd.
Lifted weights at the gym Friday morning. Headed out to lunch at the Duluth Diner with the team. Got the grilled chicken salad.
Nothing on tap for the weekend. Golf this morning. Need to work on the clutter. M says he’s going camping up near Chattanooga this weekend.

As Dr. Denison wrote in the days following the January 6 Capitol breach, “what we saw was abhorrent and sinful.” However, it was also not, as President Biden described it, “The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.” The truth is that most Americans think what happened that day was wrong, but far fewer think it is worth continuing to dwell on or investigate going forward.
