Can you believe that Halloween is right around the corner?
Much colder air is invading the Midwest, so maybe rain will force me inside some this weekend to watch a horror movie or two!
I usually make it an annual tradition to watch “Hellbent”!
Thank you for taking the time to check out my Random Friday Thoughts. If you disagree with me, no problem. Just do it diplomatically!
CHRISTMAS STUFF — WHO GIVES A F***?
As many of you know, I decorate for Christmas on November 1st and leave it up until the end of January.
I know which Scrooge I won’t be inviting to my decorating party — First Lady Melania Trump.
Guess what, I’m one of those that “gives a f*** about Christmas stuff and decoration”! 🙂
Who knows, this might be the last Christmas you’ll have to worry with it in your current capacity!
VOTING
This may not appeal to your side of the aisle or your way of thinking, but it did make me laugh. 🙂
Who comes up with these things?
Regardless of who you vote for…
THE WOMAN THAT INSPIRED ME TO GO INTO TV NEWS
I can’t believe it’s now been 37 years since the woman that inspired me to get into the television news “rat race” was tragically killed in a car accident and drowning.
Jessica Savitch got her start, in radio, as a teenager, in New Jersey in the late-1960s.
Her first two televisions jobs were in Houston, Texas, in 1971, (as a reporter and the South’s first anchorwoman), and in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the fourth largest television market in the country, in 1972. She started as weekend anchor, but was promoted to the main co-anchor.
From there, NBC News came calling in 1977 and offered her a position as the Washington correspondent. She eventually worked her way up to weekend anchor.
On October 23, 1983, Jessica, her Siberian Husky, Chewy, and her boyfriend, Martin Fischbein, were in New Hope, Pennsylvania, for dinner at Odette’s Restaurant.
When they left in heavy rain, she got in the backseat with Chewy.
In the bad weather and low visibility, Fischbein missed the posted warning signs and the car dropped fifteen feet and sank in the mud to the bottom of the old Pennsylvania Canal’s Delaware Division.
All three were instantly killed!
On a happier note, Jessica inspired me to want to be a television weatherman.
This is me at Murray State University in 1985!!!
Here is the complete blog I wrote about Jessica on the anniversary of her death in 2012. (If you click on the link, it’ll open in a new window.)
Here are few more interesting things I found reading the 1991 Chicago Sun-Times book by Don Hayner and Tom McNamee called “Metro Chicago Almanac”.
While Illinois had a public school enrollment of 66% white students and 34% minority students, in Chicago’s public schools, minority students made up 88% of the count!
O’Hare Airport’s code is ORD because it used to be farmland and the airport’s first name was Orchard Place.
The incredibly silly motto of Park City, Illinois, in Lake County, incorporated in 1958, is: “Thanks to God and Our American Constitution that Righteousness and Our American Law Made Park City Possible“! Um, okay!
Four-time Grammy Award winning gospel singer Mahalia Jackson moved to Chicago at the age of 20 and called it home.
While she played all over the world, she NEVER sang in a nightclub or establishment that sold liquor. And, she never would sing jazz or blues!
And, since Christmas is now two months away. 🙂
SINCE I OPENED THE CHRISTMAS PANDORA’S BOX…
Here are two latest holiday offerings from the USPS — well, one is holiday and one is winter.
These are much better than the past few year’s stamps!
I really like these winter ones.
But, I still may choose these that I used in 2018.
As I stated in previous blogs, “I’m very intrigued by Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights… It symbolizes the spiritual “victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance”. We could really use that in the world these days!!!!!!!!”
Diwali (also known as Dipavali) is celebrated in the fall in the northern hemisphere. This year, it’ll be on Saturday, November 14th in the U.S.
“FRIED GREEN TOMATOES”
NBC is bringing the 1991 Oscar-nominated movie to television as a series with Reba McEntire!
Reba will play Idgie Threadgoode, who was played by Mary-Louise Parker in the movie.
In this version, she returns to Whistle Stop after being away for a decade.
“Entertainment Weekly” reports “Upon her return, she must deal with a changed town, her estranged daughter, a faltering cafe, and a life-changing secret.”
NEW “FANCY” REMIX VIDEO
While I shared Dave Aude’s new “Fancy” remix by Reba McEntire a few weeks ago, there’s a new video out now!
It’s an incredible look at Reba as “Fancy” over the years!
HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY HELEN REDDY
Iconic Grammy Award winning and legendary feminist Helen Reddy passed away in late September at the age of 78.
In her career, she charted 14 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 (three made it all the way to #1) and she was referred to as the “Queen of ’70s Pop”.
In honor of her birthday on October 25th, I’m counting down my 10 favorite Helen Reddy songs!
#10 “YOU AND ME AGAINST THE WORLD”
#9 “AIN’T NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY”
#8 “EMOTION”
#7 “PEACEFUL”
#6 “I DON’T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM”
#5“LEAVE ME ALONE (RUBY RED DRESS)”
Interestingly enough, Helen condemned the song “Leave Me Alone” as repetitive and points out that you hear the title of the song 43 times in the single. I bet you’ll go back and listen to it now and count along! 🙂
When I saw her in concert in 2013, she didn’t perform it.
She once told an audience that it is “one song I will never ever sing again” and “that sort of songwriting doesn’t do much for me, but it was a hit. However, I don’t have to sing it anymore if I don’t want to, and I don’t want to.”
#4“ANGIE BABY”
#3“DELTA DAWN”
#2 “KEEP ON SINGING”
#1 “I AM WOMAN”
RIP Helen! I already miss you!
THAT’S IT
With all the craziness in the world, make it the best in your little part of it!
While I’ll still post a few new blogs before the end of the year, this is the next to last the “Random Friday Thoughts” of 2019!
As always, if you disagree with me, do it diplomatically and have a great weekend!
HILLARY CLINTON’S NEXT ROLE
While I’d love for Hillary Clinton to make an “eleventh hour” entry into 2020 Democratic race for president, I don’t think that’ll happen.
STILL. HOPING.
Before you even say it, Ronald Reagan ran for president three times before winning in 1980!
However, I think I’ve already figured out her next role in the history of U.S. politics.
In early 2021 when the Democratic 46th president * takes office, I think Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg willstep down from the bench and Hillary will become the new Supreme Court Justice!
* Oh, a technically — it might the 47th president of the U.S. if 45 is impeached or forced to resign and that despicable Mike Pence becomes #46 for a few months!
Or, maybe Hillary could be Vice President and then ascend to Commander in Chief!
“MADAM SECRETARY” “MADAM PRESIDENT”
Spoiler Alert: As the sixth and final season of the CBS hit, “Madam Secretary” kicked off earlier this month, it’s now “Madam President (sort of)”!
The show has never been subtle that Secretary of State (now president) Elizabeth McCord (Tea Leoni) is based heavily on real life Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The final season premiere was a very powerful and pointed episode. It made no effort to mask “real life” in America today with these lines about Elizabeth’s opponent:
“…his disgusting attacks on immigrants, the media. He’s not fit to be president.”
“He won the nomination, but that doesn’t mean honorable people should get behind him and validate his worst impulses.”
“His politics WILL divide the country even further!”
ONE BIG DEVIATION FROM REAL LIFE
President McCord realizes near 100 days into her presidency that Iran COLLUDED to release information on her competitor, which may have led to her winning the election!
This would make her an “illegitimate president”!
WHERE DO THEY COME UP WITH THESE STORY IDEAS????
However, unlike Donald Trump, President McCord tries to find out how this happened and not make a love nest with a Vladimir Putin!
FINAL THOUGHT ON “THAT MAN”
Here’s a tweet that I responded to when I read his tweet about his “great and unmatched wisdom”!
CLUTCH YOUR PEARLS OVER ELLEN DeGENERES & PRESIDENT BUSH!
Weeks later, people are still talking about comedian/talk show host Ellen DeGeneres sitting with former President George W. Bush at a Dallas Cowboys football game.
Many in the LGBTQ community blasted her for being friends with such a devil. A couple of days after the game, I tweeted Ellen:
Elton John is now defending her.
While I agreed with a few things that George W. Bush did as Texas Governor when I lived in Lubbock in 1997, we were usually at odds in our thinking process, especially when he was Commander-in-Chief.
One of the things I’m most proud of came early in his presidency.
In his 2003 State of the Union message, President Bush committed $15 billion (that’s billions with a “B”) to fight AIDS in Africa in what would be knows as PEPFAR (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief).
It’s still one of the biggest programs ever to fight a single disease by any country.
By the way, I love former First Lady Laura Bush and I’d enjoy meeting President and Mrs. Bush one day to chat!
“ON BECOMING A GOD IN CENTRAL FLORIDA”
This quirky ten-episode Showtime series wraps up its first season this weekend.
It stars Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Kirsten Dunst as Krystal Stubbs, a struggling minimum-wage-earning water park employee near Orlando, Florida.
She schemes her way up the ranks of Founders American Merchandise (FAM), a cultish, flag waving, multi-billion dollar organization that made her family lose all of its money. It also indirectly caused her husband’s death (a very interesting one at that)!
22-year-old Canadian actor Theodore Pelleren co-stars as pyramid scheme victim Cody Bonar. He’s incredible and I’m calling it now — he’ll get an Emmy nomination in 2020!
In late-September, “On Becoming a God in Central Florida” was renewed for a second season!
As much as I enjoyed season one, I don’t think I’ll return for season two!
GRADE: B
“OUR BOYS”
I was really intrigued with the gut-wrenching HBO Israeli series, “Our Boys”, since I have an indirect connection to it.
The events it dramatizes were happening in the months leading up to my trip to Tel Aviv, Israel, in October 2014, to celebrate my 50th birthday.
Tensions were still running rather high on my visit and we were advised not to visit Jerusalem for safety reasons.
This series focuses on the murder investigation of Arab teenager Mohammed Abu Khdeir.
Abu Khdeir was kidnapped and burnt alive in retaliation for the kidnapping and murder of three Jewish teenagers by the Palestinian militant group, Hamas.
While the entire series is compelling, “Chapter 7: Judging by its End” is so tense and heartbreaking.
The series features standout performances from Shlomi Elkabetz (Simon), Adam Gabay (Avishay), Jony Arbid (Hussein, Mohammed’s father) and Ruba Blal-Asfour (Suha, Mohammed’s mother).
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for a boycott of the series because it portrays Israelis in a bad light. Um, okay!!!!!!
GRADE: A-
“THE CROWN” SEASON 3
I can’t wait until November 17th for the return of the critically acclaimed Netflix series, “The Crown”!
Olivia Colman succeeds Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth II and Tobias Menzies will play Prince Philip, replacing Matt Smith.
The third season covers the years 1964-1976, including Harold Wilson’s terms as prime minister until 1976.
Sexy Josh O’Connor (“God’s Own Country”) will play Prince Charles.
This trailer is so clever in how it prepares us for the transition from a younger Queen Elizabeth in seasons one and two to a more mature Queen (Oscar winner Colman in seasons three and four)!
The fourth season will include Gillian Anderson (“The X-Files” and “Hannibal”) as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and it’ll introduce Lady Diana Spencer.
“GOD’S OWN COUNTRY”
If you want to get a taste of O’Connor before the new season of “The Crown” arrives, check out “God’s Own Country” on Netflix. It was my 8th favorite movie of 2018.
Along with O’Connor, this stunning English drama stars Romanian actor Alec Secareanu.
O’Connor plays Johnny, a young man living with his father and grandmother on the family farm in northern England. Johnny now has more responsibility after his father’s stroke.
He leads a lonely existence and drowns his sorrows in alcohol and cheap, meaningless sex.
The family hires Gheorghe, a Romanian migrant worker, for the upcoming lambing season and sparks begin to fly between the two young men.
But, can Johnny admit his feelings for Gheorghe and come out to his family that may or may not be accepting?
O’Connor won the British Independent Film Award for Best Actor beating out his co-star for the honor.
GRADE: B+
“PURE GOLDWATER”
This book by John Dean and Barry Goldwater, Jr. covers the Arizona Senator’s life and his 1964 Republican Presidential campaign. He lost to President Lyndon Johnson.
While Goldwater was very conservative, in the 1980s when he was in his 80s, he turned against the close-minded values of the Republican party and was supportive of his gay grandson, Ty Ross.
Ross, a former Zoli model turned interior decorator, says this about his grandfather, he “knew I was gay since I was a teen. He was fine with it, and it was never an issue. He wasn’t terribly religious. It was all kind of a non-issue in the family. In the early 1990s, I went to go protest in support of a local ordinance to include sexual orientation and gender identity into the city charter, and there was this raucous debate. My grandfather happened to be at our house when I got back. ‘I heard you went downtown. Good job, standing up for what you believe in.'”
Ross adds, “He was aware I was in POZ. I was never dealt any shame about it or met with adulation. It was neither, which was good for me because I didn’t have to feel any guilt. We never really talked about me being HIV positive. Without a doubt, he knew I was positive and was supportive of me more in that I was involving myself in standing up for gay rights.”
Additionally, in June 1993, after consulting with military experts, Goldwater realized that gays posed no security risk and declared that the military should lift its ban on gays.
He was quoted as saying, “you don’t need to be ‘straight’ to fight and die for your country; you just need to shoot straight.”
Two months later, he told the LGBTQ magazine, “The Advocate” that people being worked up over gays in the military was “pointless” and “stupid”. He added that the GOP’s stance on gays was “dumb”.
“GOLDWATER GIRL”
As a 17-year-old in Chicago, you’ll never guess who was a “Goldwater Girl”, campaigning for the Republican in the 1964 presidential election!
Appearing on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” in November 1993, Goldwater told the story of Hillary campaigning for him, “I remember her going around in a gingham dress trying to get people to vote for me. Trouble is, she didn’t get around to enough of them.”
In October 1996, less than two years before Goldwater died, Hillary made a surprise visit to Goldwater at his Paradise Valley home!
And, if you didn’t know, Hillary was raised in a very conservative household in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge.
I’m just glad Hillary was much quicker to get away from the Republican party than Goldwater. 🙂
MY PICK HIT IS CATCHING ON!
Whitney Houston is back on Top 40 radio!
“Higher Love” with Kygo is at #27 on Mediabase today!
The reworked song is from the Japanese version of Houston’s third album, 1990’s “I’m Your Baby Tonight”.
The video is so sexy and cute and the song will sound familiar — it’s a remake of Steve Winwood and Chaka Khan’s 1986 #1 hit, which is one of my all-time favorite songs!
NEW CHRISTMAS STAMPS
The new holiday offering from the United States Postal Service this year is artsy, but I’ll be looking for an alternative for my Christmas cards this year.
I may go with the same ones I used last year!
As I stated in my blog last November, “I’m very intrigued by Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights… It symbolizes the spiritual “victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance”. We could really use that in the world these days!!!!!!!!”
Diwali (also known as Dipavali) is celebrated in the fall in the northern hemisphere. This year, it’ll be on Sunday, October 27th in the U.S.
“CHRISTMAS IN THE CITY”
Lea Michele (“Glee”) will be releasing her first holiday album, “Christmas in the City” on October 25th.
It’ll feature duets with two very sexy men!
Jonathan Groff (“Glee” and “Mindhunter”) joins her on “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” and Darren Criss (“Glee” and “American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace”) sings “White Christmas” with Lea.
Broadway star Cynthia Erivo, who was amazing in “Bad Times at the El Royale” and will star in the upcoming “Harriet”, joins Lea on “Angels We Have Heard on High”.
Other classics included on the album will be “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”, “O Holy Night”, “Silent Night”, “Silver Bells” and “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”.
“Do You Want to Build a Snowman” from “Frozen” is also featured. (By the way, Groff is also the voice of Kristoff in the “Frozen” movie franchise!)
“ALL TOO HUMAN”
I also read George Stephanopoulos’ 1999 book subtitled “A Political Education” this fall.
It covered the years 1992, when he worked to get Bill Clinton elected president, through 1996, when he resigned from being Clinton’s Senior Advisor shortly after Clinton was re-elected in November 1996.
Stephanopoulos talked openly about his abrasive relationship with Hillary Clinton and Vice President Al Gore.
THAT’S IT
With all the craziness in the world, make it the best in your little part of it!
Thank you for checking out my festive, holiday version of “Random Friday (Christmas) Thoughts” today.
“CHRISTMAS GHOSTS — LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT”
MARIAH CHRISTMAS TO YOU!
I just saw the “All I Want For Christmas Is You” Mariah Carey show in Las Vegas. She was absolutely gorgeous and flawless and her voice was crisp and angelic.
The sets were magical and stunning and for just over 90 minutes, all my unhappiness was a distant memory!
By the way, the title track to the new holiday movie, “The Star”, by Mariah has already been nominated for a Golden Globe award and is in contention for an Oscar nomination!
POINSETTIAS
The poinsettia, traditionally an American Christmas flower, originally grew in Mexico; where it was known as the “Flower of the Holy Night”.
It was first brought to America by Joel Poinsett in 1829.
CANDY CANES
During the Christmas/Hanukkah season, more than 1.76 billion candy canes will be made.
I wonder how many of those billions end up as garnishes in festive holiday drinks?
CHRISTMAS TREES
The National Christmas Tree Association reports that Americans buy 37.1 million real Christmas trees each year. And, of that number, one out of every four are from the country’s roughly 5,000 choose-and-cut farms.
I did that back in 2000 and 2001 for Miss ABBA’s (my late golden retriever) first two Christmases.
In retrospective, I felt guilty for cutting down that big, gorgeous tree!
TURKEYS
The Christmas turkey first appeared on English tables in the 16th century.
However, in rich households, it didn’t immediately replace the traditional goose, beef or boar’s head.
CHRISTMAS STAMPS
I chose these stamps this year to help out a very financially stressed United States Postal Service. I sent out 136 cards and that’s really the only time I use the USPS except when I order things online.
It’s ironic that the USPS is about to go under because as early as 1822, the postmaster in Washington, D.C. wanted to limit the number of cards people could send at the holidays.
People were sending out so many homemade cards, since commercial cards weren’t available then, that an extra sixteen postmen had to be hired in the nation’s capital to handle the extra mail.
The Postmaster General would be ecstatic if that was the case today!
I guess this is my chance to say once again, stop Saturday mail service and save yourself a lot of money!
“SILENT NIGHT”
“Silent Night” was written in 1818, by Austrian priest Joseph Mohr.
On Christmas Eve, he was told that the church organ was broken and it would not be repaired for service that evening.
Saddened, he wanted to write a carol that could be sung by choir to guitar music and he sat down and wrote three stanzas. Later that night, “Stille Nacht” was performed for the first time in that little Austrian church.
BABY JESUS & THE MANGER
Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, was born in a cave, not in a wooden stable.
Back then, animals were kept in caves because they were much warmer and the carpenters of Jesus’ day were really stone cutters.
Thus, wood was not widely used. So, whenever you see a Christmas nativity scene with a wooden stable, that’s the “American” version, not the Biblical one.
And, this is Miss ABBA wanting to be a part of the “Americanized” Christmas nativity scene.
“JINGLE BELLS”
And, finally, the Christmas classic, “Jingle Bells”, was composed in 1857 by James Pierpont. It was originally called “One-Horse Open Sleigh.”
Check out this version of the popular holiday carol at Germany’s largest supermarket chain, Edeka.
It made me smile.
GLOWING TURTLE
Here’s a holiday bonus, “glowing turtles” were found a couple of years ago off the coast of the Solomon Islands (northeast of Australia).
The biofluorescent species glow red and green!
“TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS”
And, while it isn’t one of my favorite holiday songs, crazy town’s Janice Dickinson’s version of the “Twelve Days of Christmas” is over-the-top fun.
However, the song was written to help Catholic children, in England, remember different articles of faith during the persecution by Protestant Monarchs.
Now, I found this online and didn’t take the time to verify it, but it’s still interesting.
In the song:
The “partridge in a pear tree” = Christ.
2 Turtle Doves = the Old and New Testaments
3 French Hens = Faith, Hope and Charity– the Theological Virtues
4 Calling Birds = the Four Gospels and/or the Four Evangelists
5 Golden Rings = the first Five Books of the Old Testament, the “Pentateuch”, which relays the history of man’s fall from grace.
6 Geese A-laying = the six days of Creation
7 Swans A-swimming = the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments
8 Maids A-milking = the eight beatitudes
9 Ladies Dancing = the nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit
10 Lords A-leaping = the ten commandments
11 Pipers Piping = the eleven faithful apostles
12 Drummers Drumming = the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostle’s Creed
HOLIDAY BREAK
While I have a few year end “best of” or “favorites” blogs coming, I’m taking time off from “Random Friday Thoughts”.
If there’s something that I really want to talk about, I’ll write something just about that. 🙂
THAT’S IT
With all the craziness in the world, make it the best in your little part of it!
That should come as no surprise because I saw Christmas decorations in the “seasonal” aisle at Walgreen’s with the Halloween costumes and candy this past weekend!
The good news is that we’re going to be seeing very warm temperatures for this first weekend of autumn in the Quad Cities and across much of the country.
But, now that I’ve mentioned Christmas, I want to talk about my favorite holiday of the year!
The first thing I do is look ahead to see what new Christmas albums I want to buy for the season.
Last year, my favorite Christmas album was “Snow Globe” by Erasure.
Erasure is my favorite band and this week, they just released a fantastic new dance album called “The Violet Flame” and I’m excited to see them in concert in Chicago next weekend, October 4th.
My other two favorite Christmas albums last year were “Wrapped In Red” by Kelly Clarkson and “Christmas, With Love” by Leona Lewis.
Idina Menzel, who had huge success last year with the motion picture and soundtrack, “Frozen”, and the hit “Let It Go”, is releasing her first Christmas album in mid-October.
It was produced by Grammy Award-winner Walter Afanasieff, who has worked with Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Mariah Carey, Josh Groban, and so many more.
The track list reportedly includes “Do You Hear What I Hear?”, “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, “A Holly Jolly Christmas”, “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and many more classics and non-traditional songs.
Seth MacFarlane is behind some of the biggest shows on television (“Family Guy” and “The Cleveland Show”), the blockbuster movie, “Ted”, and, in 2013, he hosted the Oscars.
He also sings! In 2011, he released “Music Is Better Than Words”, an amazing jazz album and on September 30th, his first Christmas album, “Holiday For Swing” comes out.
It’ll feature holiday standards like “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” and “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”, plus many other classics.
MacFarlane gets some assistance from Norah Jones and Sara Bareilles (“Baby, It’s Cold Outside”).
Jim Brickman is one of the best-selling pianist of all-time and he’s collected 27 hits on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts!
Not only is he his getting his latest collection of Christmas songs ready for release on October 7th, but he’ll be playing at the Adler Theatre in Davenport, Iowa, on December 28th!
“On A Winter’s Night” features appearances from John Oates and Kenny Rogers and holiday classics like “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, “Blue Christmas”, and “Away In The Manger”.
Also, the album will have many less familiar tunes.
I also love writing out Christmas cards to my friends across the country and I always look forward to the new Christmas stamp selections. This year, the United States Postal Service will celebrate the 50th anniversary of “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer” with a stamp.
But, the ones that I’m going to purchase are called “Winter Fun Contemporary Christmas”. Those definitely look fun!
And, I’m still deciding on what flavor cheesecake to make this year.
A couple of years ago, I made a red velvet cheesecake for Christmas. While it was beautiful and tasty, I want something new and exciting this year.
Finally, my Christmas shopping list is smaller this year because Ray, Gretel, Tammy and I are getting away before the holidays for some fun in the sun and on the high seas. That is our gift to each other this year.
So, in honor of that, here’s a little less wintry-sounding Christmas song.
Merry Christmas! Oh wait, that’s still about three months away.
What's Peeps Thinking About Now? It's Probably Random!
