Just returned from the feel-good hit of the holiday season, "Precious", or as I said at the box office, "One for 'Precious: From the Novel Push by Sapphire'." Seriously, Tom Clancy nor Stephen King went quite that far. How about, "Precious: The Movie Oprah Wants You to See", or "Precious: The One Where Mariah Isn't Horrible and Has Brown Hair"?

A Christmas miracle on the way home--I came across a lighting shop, and sure enough, they had the bulb I needed to get the Branson Chicken Lamp back into service!
