Bryan Cranston in his Golden Globe nominated performance as Dalton Trumbo.

What do you have planned for this holiday season weekend? Mister Trueheart and I went to see the brilliant, must-see Trumbo movie tonight. This weekend, we’re going to a big six-oh birthday party and I’m going to dress up a bit. We are going to decorate our Christmas trees (His: white lights, no tinsel. Hers: colored lights, lots of tinsel.) , and we still have lots of shopping to do. Oh, and we have to clean the chicken coop.

Have a wonderful weekend, and here are some links I hope you enjoy.
