Strange season

Between Katie's birthday, the holidays, and attending a funeral yesterday, I've been in a strange mood. Thanksgiving being so late this year didn't help either, as it means Christmas came on way too fast.

I've also suddenly discovered that music from the 70s is at least as much "my" music as what I'd always thought, which was 80s. Not sure why; I'm guessing it's because I was younger and wasn't buying much music in the 70s, and/or that of course many of those musicians continued into the 80s. But a few weeks ago I accidentally tuned to SiriusXM channel 7 instead of 8, and then realized I had been happily listening for a while.

The result is that I've been obsessively playing Nile Rodgers (Chic, Sister Sledge) and Kool and the Gang and Steve Miller and more. Kt would be horrified, I'm sure. Especially when I threatened to buy a polyester leisure suit! (But actually I know she liked Sister Sledge We Are Family, having heard it at the end of The Birdcage.)


As a Grinch fan, she'd have appreciated this SMBC:

 

There's something awesome about a 50-year-old kids' cartoon becoming a meme.


And our little girl who figured out Santa was fictional would definitely have liked this one:

 

A bit dark, but still.
