Notice the date, solidly into November, and please notice the temperature peaked at a balmy 90 degrees today. Serious disappointment when combined with the Christmas decorations popping up at the local mall. My parents have taken a weekend to visit friends and some choice real estate in North Carolina. The weatherman just reported they will experience 40 degree lows.
Other recent disappointments include the special Hong Kong episode of Cops which featured mostly English speaking British officers tracking down illegal aliens and very few Chinese speaking Asian men chasing members of the Chinese mafia, investing 30 minutes in a late-night episode of Judge Hatchett in which former lovers battled over the value of baseball cards stolen, sold, and burnt crispy only to have the case dismissed due to the fact that the plaintiff failed to provide evidence of the cards' worth, every episode of Last Call with Carson Daly, and the fact that yet another week has passed without a charming and handsome British millionaire knocking on my door to ask for directions to a local church where he'll read to the blind and shower gifts on poor kids and while we're conversing, he instantaneously falls head over heels in love with me and whisks me off to one of his many homes in Europe where I'll never have to work and can shop all day, without guilt, forever.
Not a disappointment, however, were tonight's 5:15 viewing of Elf and the 11:00 pm episode of "The Simpsons." Bright and gleaming minutes in a week full of slightly dull and tarnished hours.
