Excuse me , but . . .

We had a loooong, tiring day yesterday four hour round trip for three doc appointments, I do all the driving, get her out of car, into wheelchair, etc, etc.

Both of us crashed around 10 and I’m now awake, watching tv, she will sleep until noon.

So an ad came on for the Christmas movie titled “Elf. “. I’m no movie critic but was forced to watch that movie few years ago and it’s on my list of Top Ten Worst and Dumbest Movies Ever Produced.

I’m toasting half an English muffin, slapping peanut butter on it, brew a cup of tea, call that breakfast.

30 seconds after posting the above comment, MSNBC ran a clip of Moses — excuse me, meant to say Speaker Mike Johnson — welcoming Muskrat and his buddy Ram-A-Lam-A-Ding-Dong preparing to brief Congress on DOGE!

No breakfast for me - I’m about to puke!!!

By the way, I'm an average old guy, too.

"Elf" sucks and the so-called humor is sophomoric.

I never want to see "A Christmas Story" again.

"Home Alone" is tiresome.

"Miracle On 34th Street" has been over-played like 5 million times.

On the other hand, the live action version of "The Grinch" is brilliant.

I've also become a curmudgeon.
