Aaaah. Once again we segue from Thanksgiving to the triple-headed Cerberus of holidays politically correctly referred to as “The Holidays” (Chanukah, Christmas and Kwanza in PC alphabetical order). Whether you observe one, more or none of the above, we hope you have a very happy, healthy period of days from now until roughly the beginning of January. Eat and drink too much (or not), spend time with loved ones (or not), exchange gifts (or not) and be safe or at least don’t hurt anyone else. Having sufficiently covered our collective asses, we at The eGarage would all like to wish you whatever you think is appropriate.

And now for this week’s eGarage schedule:

Thursday, December 8th

Classic movie Night (130 mins.)
Mr. Roberts
“The classic story of men fighting to survive not war’s dangers but its indignities.” Starring Henry Fonda, James Cagney and Jack Lemmon in the role that would win him an Oscar, Mr.Roberts manages to balance the weariness, disillusionment and sadness of war with a gentle humor that shows how comedic moments can slip their way into the most unexpected situations.
