The house is ready for the big family dinner tomorrow, through no effort on my part. My contribution, so far, as picking up the standing rib roast from Bachetti Bros yesterday. [Seven bones! It is now dry aging in the fridge. If ever there was a plutocratic, over the top, trust fund looking standing rib roast, this is it.] I also bought the couple of stocking stuffers that I am responsible for. So I’m in holiday chill mode, thinking about our traditions.
– As tradition dictates I am thinking about the fact that I should have watered the tree a bit more over the past couple of weeks.
– I’m reconciling myself to the fact that I’ll be going to Church tonight, (which God and I have agreed gives me a “minimally successful” on the “goes to Church” criteria on my end of life performance review).
