Oh. John Woo. My brain doesn't do names so well anymore.

You have a far wider range of interest for movies than I do. And these days one category I actually look for is “movies that are kind of calm and will not keep me from falling asleep if I’m tired.” The ones I used to look for are so loud and active I can hardly stand them. To think I used to watch John Yoo movies.

Bridgerton is visually pleasing — I love the interiors — but I dislike most of the characters. One thing I enjoyed noticing last season, though, were the hats: The 3 brothers wear slightly different versions of a top hat, each suiting the individual personality. The oldest brother, who is an insufferable, inflexible pig, wears a John Bull hat, like the illustration much later of a satire of a man kind of like him. The middle brother wears a ridiculously big Mad Hatter hat, and he is kind of ridiculous and vain; the youngest brother wears an inoffensive version of something in between the other brothers’ hats, because he is more sociable and inoffensive. The Duke of the last season and his godmother wore the exact same hat, a sportsman's or rider's hat. And both of them were people of action.

Let's pretend it's still your birthday, because of the distance to Canada. Happy b-day!

This was sure scary. And now I feel educated about the details of those devices. Never thought about how they need a whole backup system.

So is Billy Bowlegs competing this year in the mullet toss, or is he in prison? Inquiring minds have nothing funnier to think about.

I'm glad you showed us her picture. She has a stunning smile. Most of us are in the dark about health stuff, we don't realize what this or that marker/stage means.

What a nice picture of your family. It would be really great to have a log house, I hope you get it.

Collisions are such a shock, I hope the feeling of it fades quickly. Your new truck not only looks nice but sturdy. So that's good.

Very Ancient Man was very bad at keeping his accounts secure. But then he got so easily frustrated at that sort of thing. He despised those “Select All Images That Are Mollusks” Captcha tests.

Cool on all counts. How great that your local store delivered the recliner. Delivery cost is usually huge.

Maybe someone like you will need to ask this once in a while, so some people pop up who haven’t posted in a while. I wonder what many are doing. I got kind of depressed for a while, but now 3 sisters and I group-text each morning, partly to make everybody check in. It turned out to be really nice.

It's a triumph every time we see you manage to get proper appointments with the doctors you needed. I think insurance companies are today's assassins, but you're beating them at every turn. You're like the Roadrunner.

Thanks for the heads up! I will be making a major investment in Band-aids.

I don't think I have a problem with this study, except that I am waiting for a parallel one to study the activity levels of men in the same ages, so we can hear the specific things they did all day, with recommendations that they also wash dishes to keep their health going.
