Moon & Gloom ~ Errands ~ NY Crystal Midnight Ball Drop ~ Rose Parade/Game ~ Gabe Ramirez ~ Dan Cermak ~ Mike Wilma Nelson ~ NFL Black Monday ~ Stuffed Mushroom & Steak



Good 34ยบ dark gloomy cloudy foggy morning. COME ON........... I want some SUN!!!!!
Yesterday's gloom:



Yesterday was errand day. I was going to wait until today, but wanted to get it over with. Post office for package and mailing envelopes 
.... vets for dog dental kibble
, Ace for cracked corn
,
3 Rivers Hospital lab for blood test

, and Safeway for groceries
. So exciting. Oh, and also gas station for liquid push....
I just can't believe it's the end of the year. Whoppppen????? Zoom!

For tomorrow night I have my TV set to record the 9pm (west coast time) ball drop in Times Square NY for the midnight thingy.

Then Monday morning I have the Rose Parade ready to record.

Yes, Monday. A tradition of the Rose Parade (and Rose Bowl Game) has been "never on Sunday" as  when it was established back in 1893, concerns that commotion from the event could frighten horses hitched outside of Pasadena churches. Not the issue these days, but tradition is tradition! So mark your calendars for January 2nd.   https://www.tournamentofroses.com/

Tomorrow I will list the NFL games being played on Sunday.

Interesting that they were both born on the same day!





This happened 3 years ago:
Results of NFL Black Monday:
Jets fire head coach Rex Ryan (yeah) (he was a JERK! and now the Bills have fired him too!!)
Bears fire head coach Marc Trestman
Falcons fire head coach Mike Smith
Jim Harbaugh leaves the 9ers

Later dinner was a stuffed mushroom (from Safeway) baked to perfection and an Omaha steak cooked in the Air Fryer. Yummmmm.....

Spinach with a drizzle of olive oil and garlic salt....

I did make the mistake of biting into one of the jalapeรฑos on the mushroom and it lit me up!!!!! WOW~!


Then it was chair, wine, and Rookie Blue on the TV.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy TGIF. Ciao.

It can be used as a meat tenderizer
Put it in water with beans to minimize flatulance from eating beans
Polish Silverware
