Happy New Year everyone!

Just a quick post before I head to the kitchen to fix breakfast for Mrs. Rivendell and myself.

I want to wish each and everyone a happy, safe and blessed new year.

If you plan on watching the Rose Bowl Parade, and you get Home and Garden Television (HGTV), watch it there. They play it commercial free and actually discuss the plants and flowers used to make the floats. Always an enjoyable and entertaining experience without the usual blowhard commentators from the regular networks.

Have a wonderful day all!

I'll second what you said about watching the Rose Bowl Parade on HGTV.

Last year I came across their coverage near the end of the parade, while channel surfing during the numerous and lengthy commercials on the networks. It was a refreshing change .... they actually showed the floats rather than having 'celebrity' hosts who think that people turn in to hear them talk about themselves and who do such a lousy job of reading the scripts of corny jokes that one wonders how they ever became celebrities in the first place.

I'm looking forward to actually seeing the parade of floats this year rather than the parade of commericials and idiots!
