"Riu Chiu," with all four guys singing beautifully in harmony and Micky taking the Spanish-language solo, is by far the best track, but some of the others aren't bad. Mike does a lovely "Christmas Song," while Micky has more fun with "Unwrap You at Christmas" and "Wonderful Christmastime." Possibly due to Peter's cancer struggles (he would pass on less than a year after this CD's release), he's only gets "Angels We Have Heard On High."
Called Uber after the CD ended. It was way too cold and windy to ride my bike today! They arrived in five minutes and took less than five to get to work. For once, I even arrived slightly early.
No problems at all today. There were at least two other baggers working at one time or another, and they took care of sweeping and inside work. I spent the entire time pushing carts. It was crazy when I came in and picking up again when I left, but could have been worse in between. Everyone went home for parties, baking, wrapping, or the Eagles' game.
And while it was cold, it was also sunny. The sky was so radiantly blue, it hurt to look at it. The wind, though still bitter, had died down since yesterday, too.
(The Eagles' afternoon wasn't nearly as pleasant. They seemed to start off well against the Commanders, but Washington caught up in a big way in the second half. The Commanders just barely won 36-33.)
I picked up the last things I'll need for the next few days before and after work. I used up most of my peanut butter on the cookies. Grabbed a turkey cranberry wrap for dinner. Wanted more of that Christmas Hint water, too, since I was taking Uber and could carry it home.
Had more trouble with Uber going home. The original driver was supposed to come in five minutes. They didn't come in five minutes. In fact, it turns out she canceled, and another driver took my place. At least, once again, there was no traffic on the road, and I was able to get home quickly.
My first Amazon gifts from Lauren were waiting for me when I got in. I've been looking for the eclectic soundtrack from Deadpool Vs. Wolverine since the movie came out. You have everyone from Jimmy Durante to NSYNC on this album. I also bought a CD case for my seasonal CDs. I eventually want to transfer all of my CDs to cases, but the binder for the seasonal CDs is falling apart, so it came first.
Finished with dinner and tonight's Match Game marathon after I got my gifts opened. There were a lot more references to Disney films and fairy tales than you might think on this very adult-oriented show. In at least two episodes. there were questions asking who would play the Beast to Betty White's Beauty. Many questions joked about Snow White's relationships with her dwarfs, including one that asked what she'd use to rub together and start a fire.
They did quite a few Frog Prince jokes as well; one involved what the frog did after the princess kissed him. Darryl Anderson of Lou Grant sported a long nose in a 1979 episode that inspired many Pinocchio quips. When asked who should play Snow White, Jimmie Walker thought she should look a lot more like him. In another episode, the question asked who Charles would play in Snow White. Most everyone said Snow White, but Jo Anne Worley knew Charles would go for the meatier, villainous role...
Whistle while you match and experience the circle of life with this hilarious and unique marathon!
