Happy 2022
I usually have a germ of an idea or two when I start one of these messes, but I’m going to wing it today since it has been almost a month since you’ve heard from me.
By now you have received and framed my Christmas letter. I hope it was all you had expected and more.
We have had a very busy holiday season, with the kids coming home. Right now, SB1 is down in Monterey at the family of his betrothed. We are looking forward to his return so he can get the Christmas tree out of the house and get the house lights down. I got up at 4:15am Sunday morning to get the girl and her girlfriend out to SFO. I figured an Uber ride at that time would be at least $50, so that is what I sent her a bill for.
We hosted several super spreader events within the last month. We had my brother, his kids and their significant others along with sister and LA over on the 23rd. We did a chili cookoff featuring beef, chicken and vegie versions. The desserts were provided by my elder niece, a professional pastry chef. It looks like she will be supplying the goods for SB1’s wedding. We like to keep it in the family.
On the 24th we had the usual Christmas Eve village party. This had started as a celebration of the Exec’s birthday, but since he has abandoned us to the high life in Sonoma, we carry on without him. Each family was tasked with bringing a lasagna and my daughter made a killer tiramisu. #2 was supposed to bring the salad but he was snowed in in Tahoe, so the duty fell to SB1. He did a good job, making a dressing from scratch and washing a ton of romaine lettuce which he stored in a garbage bag until it was time for his presentation. We’d like to thank the Hotelier family for providing half the guests at this event.
On the 29th we had an engagement party for SB1 and his fiancée. We all got tested the day before, but the results did not come in in time. We therefore did our rapid home tests, as I believe all guests did, and we came out negative. We had several dropouts, which was expected, but we had a great time with the free-flowing champagne, catered food and the tasty salmon sandwiches that our soon to be in-laws prepared.
As far as politics goes, Donald J. Trump still walks freely among us, so the wheels of justice turn slowly or not at all. His offspring recently got subpoenaed, so that’s a start. And Devin Nunes has resigned from Congress, improving the institution significantly. In other Trump news, Don Jr. announced his engagement to everyone’s favorite virago, Kimberly Guilfoyle.
America’s Sweetheart Marjorie Taylor Greene had her personal Twitter account permanently suspended. What took you so long? Of course the yammering about First Amendment rights kicked off immediately. Lauren Boebert came to her defense with some well thought out tweets. Someone put a chart together so these toxic twins had a visual to help them figure things out.
The celeb news still has tons of of toned abs and legs items to discuss but that is so 2021 as far as I’m concerned. Kim K. and Pete Davidson are still a thing and so is Kanye’s whining that he wants her back. In the interim he finds vacuous hotties to go out with. It looks like Miley Cyrus had a wardrobe malfunction which she handled with aplomb. She's a major talent! We watched a shit-faced Andy Cohen ranting about DeBlasio on his CNN NYE broadcast at our get together at TCG’s house. What a schmuck. Lastly, I see that Tristan Thompson has apologized to Khloé Kardashian after fathering another child with someone else. Oops, sorry Khlo, my bad.
COVID madness continues. A 46 year-old deputy DA in Orange County, who was a vocal critic of vaccine mandates, has passed away. And these guys, who came into the world together, have bid us adieu. Their plastic surgeon is grief stricken.
The NFL season is coming to a close. I’m currently tied for 28th in my pool so I’m looking to make up for my poor showing in the playoff pool. Hope springs eternal. Here’s my picks for week 18.
KC, Dal, WFT, Cin, Bal, GB, Ind, Min, Ten, NO, AZ, Buf, TB, NE, LAR, LAC
