Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Filled up the truck for $1.79/gallon. Love the price drop, but hate what it's taken to get it.
On my mind now -- Christmas music. Ug. My graphics dept. is upstairs from a retail shop, and we have a holiday radio station playing non-stop. Does anyone really need to hear "Jingle Bell Rock" again in their lifetime? One of the gals downstairs really likes it. I, on the other hand, think it's some of the lamest music that could be foisted on us. I wouldn't object if there were some really grand music like Handel's "Messiah" or maybe Benjamin Britton's "Ceremony of Carols" -- but no, that sort of thing isn't anything that you can play at a retail shop, I suppose. Maybe if I had a passel of little kids that I adored coming to visit every Christmas, I'd have a different attitude toward this genre, but I don't... so it just makes me grinchy. Wasn't that how they forced Noriega out of hiding... by playing music at him that he didn't like, all the time?
Where in the world are my headphones...

There's so much really cool holiday music that isn't overtly sectarian, but it takes some digging to find it. (Wassailing songs, for example.) Gramma Got Run Over by a Reindeer belongs on the ash heap of history.
