There are more than 82 new films about the holidays. Had to watch something last night, so, for the first time, saw The Bishop's Wife. Rotten Tomatoes rated it 84/81. Somewhat disappointing, but okay. However, I had one of my better Christmas Eves, and all alone.
Began with the University of Hawaii, a double-digit underdog, beating the University of Houston by double-digits in the New Mexico Bowl held in Texas. Better yet, I shared with two others winning the 15 Craigside pool, making me even for the year.
I also had a satisfying and healthy lunch of soba with soy beans and sashimi:
The hearty dinner was mostly supplied by 15 Craigside as our Christmas supper, which was served on the Eve. By the time I got to it, the lamb had cooled, so I first fried it in butter.
