Chinese food to celebrate the last day of the year of the pig.  I accidentally celebrated by purchasing Roast Pork and BBQ Roast Pork (the red stuff) for dinner.

NY Times Magazine feature:  "How 'West Side Story' Was Reborn:  Inside the wildly ambitious effort to reimagine the classic musical for 2020":

I pay attention to maybe three categories, none of which is ever shown on the broadcast. Although I'm really glad to see Yola getting a best new artist nomination, the nomination is going to be the extent of the recognition, as she doesn't have a chance against Billie Eilish and Lizzo. Yola's album Walk Through Fire was one of the best things I heard last year.

WOW!  That is quite an increase in price.  Hopefully, that reflects an increase in wages and benefits to the employees and not things like utility rates, rent, or insurance.

I'm trying to be productive today, I really am.  So far I have managed to have lunch and watch the last three episodes of "The Watchman" on HBO.  I thought I only had two left but was wrong.  Once I got that far in I had to finish like I intended, didn't I?  

Normally I don't pay much attention to the Grammy awards.  I just read that they will be performing "I Sing the Body Electric" from Fame so I am looking forward to seeing a video of that.

The good news: Rosenberg's Bagels are still delicious.

The bad news: They've just had a major price increase, so my everything bagel with plain cream cheese, which used to cost $2.97 after tax, now costs $4.05. That's a significant increase.

I hope you feel better soon, Kathy!
