Requested the day off a few weeks ago, but definitely not watching. The Jan. 20, 2017, schedule of events is roughly as follows (all times Pacific):

0900 – get some health care!

1030 – cheerfully comply with environmental regulations by getting my car smogged

1300 – see “Hidden Figures” or “Moonlight” depending on walking and/or flooding conditions at respective theaters

1530 – get some continuing education via the internet and thanks to my employer’s tuition reimbursement policy

1750 – a sensible meal for dinner

I’m aiming for a day of self-edifying productivity.
