After watching the movie, I took a cruise around the dial with the remote control and landed on PBS, which was airing a concert by a young male singer named Emin, who was accompanied by pianist/composer David Foster. He was crooning Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad, which I'm embarrassed to admit I'd never heard. Written by Bono and the Edge in the early '90's, it was the B side of a single. He sent it to Frank Sinatra who, unfortunately, was too ill to record it. It would have been perfect for him. Here's a clip of it from a 1995 tribute to Old Blue Eyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg0BMw8Uex0
Hail, Broncos! My alma mater, Western Michigan, finished the regular season 13-0 after last night's win, 29-23, over Ohio U. in the MAC championship game. Frosh Butch Hampton kicked five field goals. The outcome was sealed by an interception in WMU territory in the final minute. Now the team awaits its bowl destination. Kudos to the staff and players.
My thanks to the young woman who overpaid for five books and wished me a Merry Christmas, and to Gina who bought Harold Robbins' The Raiders, and to Steve, aka Mr. Conspiracy, who donated a number of works of non-fiction, including one on his archenemy - President-elect Trump.
