Day 78

So today was Christmas.  We spent the day mainly just sitting around.  There was absolutely nothing on the TV and no football at all, not even college.We didn't get around to opening the presents until about noon.  We really made out well.  I got the new lens I wanted and a Magpul buttstock.  John and Patty gave me a really cool old Leavenworth newspaper from 1881 and a military manual from 1820.  Imagine, a book that's 195 years old.  It's water damaged and the pages don't stick to the binding, but it's cool.  I'm going to try to read it.  The nieces got me a whole bunch of minions stuff.  Apparently they had a great time shopping for it.

Ellen got some pots and pans she really wanted and a bunch of expensive archery stuff.  She got a sweater from Pat that she's going to return because she doesn't like the color.  It's nice, though.

I called Hooch about 4:00 their time.  Ellen and I both talked to various people for quite awhile.  It was fun.

I mentioned that there wasn't crap on TV.  So we watched some more episodes of Blacklist.  We still have half a dozen to go for the first season and then a whole second season.  It's interesting.  Each episode is 37 minutes long.  That means they waste 23 minutes of your life when they broadcast it.  Even worse, they're showing you annoying commercials that you REALLY don't want to see.
