Rumors abound that the Buffalo Bills will “rest” some of their starters. Miami needs to win this game in order to make the Playoffs. Dolphins’ back-up QB Ryan Fitzpatrick can’t play in this game because he’s on the Covid-19 List. The Bills are a 3-point favorite. Snow and freezing rain are in the game time forecast. The Dolphins’ starting quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, never played in snow in Hawaii or Alabama. How will your favorite NFL team do today?

I’ve been a fan of Kylie Minogue since I heard her “Love at First Sight” (2002). Minogue was diagnosed with cancer in 2005 . After surgery and chemotherapy she promoted testing for her young fans during her tours. If you’re in the mood for bouncy dance music and energetic lyrics, give Kylie Minogue’s new CD, Disco, a try.

I’m not usually a fan of tribute albums, but I recently acquired A Tribute to Curtis Mayfield from 1994. I enjoyed Steve Winwood’s version of “It’s All Right” and the Repercussions and Curtis Mayfield singing “Let’s Do It Again.” Whitney Houston belts out “Look Into Your Heart” and The Isley Brothers perform a soulful rendition of “I’m So Proud.”
Rod Stewart had a hit with “People Get Ready” and I liked Phil Collins’ “I’ve Been Trying.”
Mayfield was paralyzed from the neck down after lighting equipment fell on him during a live performance at Wingate Field in Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York, on August 13, 1990. He died from complications of type 2 diabetes at the age of 57 on December 26, 1999. GRADE: A

[Buffalo Bills on Twitter] It’s Been A Long Time Coming (Hype Video Bills Dropped For Winning AFC East from r/nfl
The Buffalo Bills, led by Quarterback Josh Allen–the AFC Offensive Player of the Week…for the FOURTH TIME this season!–play the Playoff-less Patriots. For the first time in 19 years, the Patriots will be home watching the Playoffs instead of dominating them. The Bills are 7-point favorites.
After the Buffalo Bills defeated the Denver Broncos 48-19 last Saturday, they face a divisional opponent in the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. The 6-8 Patriots won’t make the Playoffs this season. Cam Newton proved to be ineffectual at quarterback. The Big Question is how will the Bills treat this game? Will they “rest” starters to keep them healthy for the Playoffs? Or will they step on the gas to beat a bothersome opponent? We’ll see tomorrow. How will your favorite NFL fare today?
My reading in 2020 was all over the map because of Covid-19. My moods changed and I read (and reread) a number of “comfort” books: Urban Fantasies, classic Science Fiction, and locked-room mysteries. I also read about how some of my favorite films were made and how Evil Geniuses are ruining our lives. This is not a typical list of my reading interests, but 2020 wasn’t a typical year. What books kept you going through the coronavirus pandemic?
AND A WHITE CHRISTMAS, TOO!
THE CHRISTMAS SNOWBLOWING ELF AT WORK!
