I went to a bar the other day and listened to schmaltzy jazz Christmas carols. Everyone was wearing Christmas sweaters and talking amongst themselves. And then I watched Home Alone for 24 hours straight. But, now Home Alone doesn't seem to be on the tv set even once a day. I guess that it means that it is time for a best of the millennium set. We are broadcasting the best songs of the decade in Erik's case, and the artists that I listened to most each year of the decade in my case.
