--   1:25a  Bed
--   8:45a  Up;  There's maybe 1" of snow

-- 10:15a  "The View"
Swapped positions of old and new laptops.  New laptop offered a discount to renew McAffee antivirus, so I decided to go with it.
And then I had to reboot, and it installed new firmware.
-- 10:30a - 10:37a  Tony called to ask if I had tuxedo studs.  I don't know if any tuxedo I rented had them.
Breakfast @home;  PB&T

As expected, the keyboard on the new laptop, is driving me crazy.
-- 12:27p  "Superstore"
My touchpad had been working fine, but now it seems flaky when I use 2 fingers to scroll.
Maybe it was Chrome.  I restarted Chrome and it seems OK for now.
--   1:35p  Started having problems with internet;  It came back on and quickly failed again.
I seems to be having problem with internet on phone, too.  Modem lights look OK.
--   1:45p  "Good Place, The
--   1:55p  Rebooted modem and all the lights came back on, but it's still not working.
I was about to call Comcast, and then things started working again.
--   3:06p  "Will & Grace"
Touchpad started acting flaky again and restarting Chrome didn't help.  Opening and closing
the laptop cover fixed it -- unless it's a coincidence and time passing was all it took, but
this seems to be a problem.
--   4:25p  Leaving for dinner @Panda Express: chicken string bean + mushroom chicken
There is now a 2nd Jenny who works there.

>>>   9:17p  "Everything's Gonna Be OK" (01/16/20)  (Metacritic: 79, 40-(80-91), #11)
Nicholas, 25, who is gay, and is visiting his father and teenaged half-sisters (one who is
high-functioning autistic) in US, and is about to return home, learns that his father is
dying of cancer (and the girls' mother died 11 years ago).
~~  The father seems weird, but since he's now dead, I guess it doesn't matter.
~~  There is no Jennifer, but there is a Genevieve.
~~  They seem to be trying too hard to be funny, but it seems stupid.  The limo to the funeral
is a party limo -- as if no funeral director or other adult was involved in the arrangements.
Absolutely everyone who attends the funeral seems to find something inappropriate to say.
~~  I expect to continue watching, but it's not as good as I expected it to be.

-- 11:30p  Skim Ch5 news
-- 11:45p - 12:37a  Tony called;  He said a rental car was stolen from in front of his house.
I wasn't clear if it was a car he rented or if it was a neighbor's.  He said he rented it but
it was his son who "stole" it -- because he didn't ask for permission to take it.
