Today is Friday, Dec. 22, the 356th day of 2017. There are nine days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Dec. 22, 1944, during the World War II Battle of the Bulge, U.S. Brig. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe rejected a German demand for surrender, writing "Nuts!" in his official reply.
On this date:
In 1775, Esek Hopkins was appointed commander-in-chief of the Continental Navy.
In 1894, French army officer Alfred Dreyfus was convicted of treason in a court-martial that triggered worldwide charges of anti-Semitism. (Dreyfus was eventually vindicated.)
In 1910, a fire lasting more than 26 hours broke out at the Chicago Union Stock Yards; 21 firefighters were killed in the collapse of a burning building.
In 1917, Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, who later became the first naturalized U.S. citizen to be canonized, died in Chicago at age 67.
In 1937, the first, center tube of the Lincoln Tunnel connecting New York City and New Jersey beneath the Hudson River was opened to traffic. (The second tube opened in 1945, the third in 1957.)
In 1940, author Nathanael West, 37, and his wife, Eileen McKenney, were killed in a car crash in El Centro, California, while en route to the funeral of F. Scott Fitzgerald, who had died the day before.
In 1968, Julie Nixon married David Eisenhower in a private ceremony in New York.
In 1977, three dozen people were killed when a 250-foot-high grain elevator at the Continental Grain Company plant in Westwego, Louisiana, exploded.
In 1989, Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu (chow-SHES'-koo), the last of Eastern Europe's hard-line Communist rulers, was toppled from power in a popular uprising. Playwright Samuel Beckett died in Paris at age 83.
In 1991, the body of Marine Lt. Col. William R. Higgins, an American hostage slain by his terrorist captors, was recovered after it had been dumped along a highway in Lebanon.
In 2001, Richard C. Reid, a passenger on an American Airlines flight from Paris to Miami, tried to ignite explosives in his shoes, but was subdued by flight attendants and fellow passengers. (Reid is serving a life sentence in federal prison.)
In 2010, President Barack Obama signed a law allowing gays for the first time in history to serve openly in America's military, repealing the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

Ten years ago: A jury in Riverhead, New York, convicted John White, a black man, of second-degree manslaughter in the shooting death of Daniel Cicciaro (SIS'-ur-oh), a white teenager, during a confrontation outside White's house. (The 17-year-old was shot in the face after he showed up with two carloads of friends to confront White's son after a dispute at a party. White, who said the shooting was an accident, was later sentenced to two to four years in prison, but had his sentence commuted by New York Gov. David Paterson after five months.)

Five years ago: The late U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye was praised as a humble leader who embodied honor, dignity and duty during a public visitation at Hawaii's state Capitol, five days after his death at age 88. Egypt's Islamist-backed constitution received a "yes" majority in a final round of voting on a referendum that saw a low voter turnout. A suicide bomber in Pakistan killed nine people, including a provincial government official, at a political rally held by a party that had opposed the Taliban.

One year ago: President-elect Donald Trump named close adviser Kellyanne Conway as his White House counselor and former Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer as press secretary. The Syrian government took full control of the city of Aleppo for the first time in four years after the last opposition fighters and civilians were bused out of war-ravaged eastern districts, ending a brutal chapter in Syria's civil war.

Ahhh. I used to volunteer at a retirement home on the lower east side named after Cabrini. Never knew her story though.

Relax, you are not dreaming. worked late on a problem last night, was the only one from my group, didn't go to the Office Christmas party,
so I was the designated fixer.  Party was $60 a head for our salary level (sliding scale $40 for those making 60K or less
$50 for $60K-90K).  So I just have to put in one more hour today, and I am done for the week.  So I probably have the only non hungover
eyes, looking to see if there are any issue this morning.  I wan't trying to recoup my $60 at the open bar, last night.
Also since I was dealing with a hardware repair issue last night late, don't have to commute in to the office, for that one hour!

Yeah i almost bit on that, since they had some grand age as well, but you had to buy 5 5packs, and no way to specify 3 of one and
2 of another...

The way they came out, disappeared, then reappeared, leads me to think it's the 1st option you listed.  Like Flip, I still have a couple of older ones in the box so haven't tried the latest incarnation either.

Did pick up a nice bottle of scotch that Fishy had suggested for myself...Macallan Edition #3.  Glad I don't have to rest it after purchase like cigars.

Had to run out to the liquor store for a bit a restocking.  Man, it's crazy out there already.  Sure glad I didn't have to do any other shopping.
Did pick up a nice bottle of scotch that Fishy had suggested for myself...Macallan Edition #3.  Glad I don't have to rest it after purchase like cigars.
Nice, you’re a man of action. Let me know what you think...cheers!

Morning men.  Having our Christmas lunch today.  Catered from a local place with which we have connections to the owner. Will be yummo.
I'm starving! What kind of food are we talking about?
The place is best called "southwestern cuisine". https://www.bluecornharvest.com/menus/georgetown/#main-menu (https://www.bluecornharvest.com/menus/georgetown/#main-menu)
They made chicken and beef fajitas and sides for us.  Best fajitas you'll ever eat.
Morning PartyanimalBean.  You  been wearing HR down?  Sounds pretty upscale for the bastiges.
Yes, was delicious, and plenty left to take home.  Now breaking in my new man cave with a Laranja. That sumbitch in HR is just going to have to deal with it!

Boss poked his head in my office about an hr & a 1/2 ago and asked if i wanted to go to lunch, i beat him to the car.  went to Big Fish and had grilled swordfish on a spinach salad.  Good restaurant, never had a bad meal in the 6 years we've been going there.
And you weren't groped or asked to watch him shower after?  He's not keeping up.

I would've purchased one if that size were available.  They had a bunch of the 60's on hand, though.
