As we head into the Christmas/ Hannukah/ Kwanza slowdown, not to be confused with the MLK weekend slow down (Jan), Presidents Day weekend slowdown (February), St. Patrick's day slowdown (March), Cino De May day slowdown (May) Memorial Day slowdown (June)...you get the idea... we have a few important questions for you.
First, and this requires serious discussion....is Die Hard a Christmas movie? This is a serious issue endlessly debated, which has never stopped the Blog from wading into waters where others fear to swim.
And whether or not DH is a Christmas movie, what are the best Christmas movies of all time. And we will remove It's a Wonderful Life from the discussion because there can be no debate it is the best Christmas movie of all time and the contest is for second place and below.
Second- we have a long-time reader who has written a novel. They are seeking feedback and want us to post some chapters on the blog for honest feedback including readers spotting any typos or plot inconsistencies.
Thoughts about this? It will relieve us from posting for the last two weeks of the year. We have read a few chapters and it is blog worthy. So yes or no? It's a non-legal thriller FYI. We will post the chapters as PDFs but may be able to email them to readers who ask nicely. At the moment the author has requested anonymity, although we are encouraging him/her to take credit for the writing.
Thursday Night Football.
The Surprising Broncos play the Los Angeles Chargers. The Broncos are getting 2.5 on the road and the O/U is 41.5. We like the over a little, as both teams have decent defenses and the Chargers like to run the ball but the game could easily turn into a shootout. We will post our pick this afternoon pending resolution of a pesky federal motion.
Yipee Kayee ....
