1977

One of my big goals of 2024 is to spend more time on the HP, so I think I'm going to try to get one of these root posts up each week for my nostalgia fix.

I really like establishing formulaic stuff at the HP (#freakinweekend, #ohky and so forth) to then set up a comments fields to play in as a nice distraction from work or whatever over the course of a week. We'll see how long this particular lark lasts.

Well, anyway, here are my background playlists for this week:

• Sunday, Jan. 2, 1977 (/Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2024)
• Monday, Jan. 3, 1977
• Tuesday, Jan. 4, 1977
• Wednesday, Jan. 5, 1977
• Thursday, Jan. 6, 1977
• Friday, Jan. 7, 1977
• Saturday, Jan. 8, 1977

I've really gotten into Rhoda.

Happy new years!

1976

Well, until this very day in 2023, I believed the town in Massachusetts where the Patriots play was spelled "Foxboro," and it often is. Actually, though, it's "Foxborough," and, in my 1976 pretend, I'm planning to be there for tomorrow night's Jets-Patriots game. 

On today, Oct. 17, 1976, however, fake me is hanging out in my Holiday Inn room in Worcester, flipping through the (fantastic!) Sunday Boston Globe and watching (glorious!) television. We've got the Week 6 of the NFL, Game 2 of the World Series and/or a highly promising made-for-TV movie to check out.

 

Of course, supper is looking pretty promising, too. We'll definitely be taking a break this evening from Borbon, Barbeau et al., to make a trip downstairs to the ol' Persian Room to eat.
