knives out
Last night we watched “Knives Out” for the second time and I have to say I think I liked it even better this time around. I wasn’t paying close attention to how detective Benoit Blanc solved the murder mystery last time so that part of the story went right over my head. I was paying… Read.

hudsons
Kate Hudson acquitted herself admirably on Hot Ones. See for yourself: On a related note: I was today years old when I learned that Kate Hudson’s mother is Goldie Hawn, and her father is Bill Hudson. I, who came of age in the 70s, was not only familiar with Goldie from Rowen & Martin’s Laugh-In,… Read.

the horse
I was in all the bands during high school, by which I mean, there was just one band, but it was sort of an all-purpose band: marching band, pep band, concert band. When we played at basketball games or other sporting events, we were known as the pep band and we played high-tempo tunes that… Read.

stuck in a loop

great
And now, some inspirational words from comedian Tom Papa: “I don’t know why we don’t feel like we’re doing great. You work hard, you do all the stuff you’re supposed to be doing. You’re doing your best and still, you feel like it’s not enough. I think it’s social media. Before social media, I thought… Read.

frat party
As usual on Sunday morning, our kitchen looked like a bunch of frat boys had been up all night drinking and eating snacks while they did whatever frat boys do all night. In reality it was nothing like that. Tim comes over on Saturday afternoon for an early dinner and then we play a board… Read.

osmosis
The song stuck in my head this morning was Abba’s “Take A Chance On Me,” a song I’m not particularly fond of but nevertheless know all the words to. I know all the words to a lot of Abba songs, which is kind of odd because I never turned the radio up when I heard… Read.
