Saturnalia is Soon!

Last Sunday I watched a movie! Me! I really, really enjoyed it, which shocked the heck out of me. And, it is a Christmas movie, although that really didn't occur to me when I watched it. I wasn't paying attention to that aspect. Yea, there was a Santa in it but it was more the social and cultural stuff the movie discussed that struck me.

The movie is called 'It Happened on Fifth Avenue'. It was filmed/released in 1947. Yes, it's in black and white. It's a comedy. No, I didn't recognize any of the stars' names, except Alan Hale, Jr (Hi, Skipper!), although I recognized a face or two. You can watch it, or download it, on the internet archive.

I'll be late for my own funeral.
Sorry about the late post. Was up late last night with an evening dinner engagement with family.
We were at the best steakhouse in Portland, The Ringside, and I splurged and had a 12 Oz. Dry aged bone_in New York cut priced at $84.
What was the occasion?

oops, one less Neo-nazi in power. Who is next? Trudeau, Zelensky, Scholz,
Macron, or Yoon? Unpopularity in crooked leaders is growing like cheese mold.
