Me 1st half of Bills game: We didn't want to watch the game today anyway.
My Man: We should enjoy our holiday season.
Me 2nd half: Looks like they're trying to scrape together some dignity.
Me Game Over: Someone explain this team to me because WTH?! 😮
We're out of market so watching game now.

You know where libraries got it going on? Backlist. Got a recommendation for a short story from 1939 and found it in a 1985 anthology that LAPL has THREE copies of. Added bonus? The anthology features a Marcia Muller story I don't think I've read before. Placed a hold so fast, broke a fingernail.
