I had a Howdy Doody puppet that I just barely remember.

Wasn't that show anime? Or manga? I used to watch it all the time, too. Could never figure out why Racer X couldn't tell Speed he was his brother.

Wonder how many books that would have been? I recall getting a toaster once and it was a lot as I recall.

...you find New Years celebrations being livestreamed on YouTube from Europe, so you can celebrate the New Year and still go to bed at a decent hour. (London was pretty good this year.)

...if you TiVo the New Year's Eve TV broadcast because it is after your bed time.
