Happy Death Day

I just watched this with Lisa . Groundhog Day but with murder. This was a hoot - fun, chill, and a classic in the making. See it!!

The Season Has Begun!

Today we received our first Christmas Card of the season, courtesy of Sybil W! Just an hour before that Lisa and I were discussing the very thing! Thank you Sybil!

Good Riddance

Charles Manson has died at 83.

Justice League

A very good movie,  IMO, and bordering on great when it wasn't involved in cosmic fisticuffs.  Affleck is the perfect Batman,  like it or not,  and thank Poseidon we finally have an Aquaman that doesn't look and act like he enjoys the spandex a little too much.  Spoilers prevent me from saying more,  but it looks like Zach Snyder finally got it right.

Please Help

Entourage's daughter Meadow has run away. If you see her, or have any information, please contact her family or us. 

Stop Nuffliying the Horror

Enough with calling everything  "sexual assault." It seeks to nullify the horror of rape. I was watching a crime show where a victim was abducted,  tortured,  "sexually assaulted", and killed.  She was not,  I presume, merely groped on the subway.  Words have meaning,  and we are letting that power be diluted.

My Thoughts

If you objected to Bill Clinton using an intern as a humidor and felt the known accusations of forcible rape in his past precluded both his place in office and your respect,  I'm cool with you despising Trump's locker room talk.  (seriously).

By the way, in all this furor over sexual harrassment, why has no one brought up the Rolling Stone interview where Jon Stewart said that when Bill Clinton was a guest on his show he zeroed in on an attractive intern and Stewart had to order his staff to keep Bill busy and away from her? Stewart treated the anecdote as LOL, but he's no better than every other Hollywood enabler.

Thanks Sis!

Thanks to my sister Katie the youngest three and Lisa got to see a promo showing of The Man Who Invented Christmas!

Fun with Smley at the Theater

Wow. And here in Milwaukee!

TrainFest 2017

Sunday Smiley and I went on our annual trip to Trainfest with my friend Tracy and his son. It's not my cuppa, but it has a comforting familarity and the company is good. I'm glad it's become tradition.

A Dream

Last night I dreamt that we took possession of my paternal grandparents' home, fully furnished. When Lisa and I toured it it was huge, a product of the dream, but the whole night I was keeping quiet about the fact that the next day was a mandatory bar exam (which I went to on a few hours sleep). 

Then I was at an outdoor lumber yard and involved in something shady, and spent part of the dream in a police interview. Don't worry, I ain't no 🐀. 

Then back to a dinner party at our "new" house, where I confronted my Dad's friend Jim, absent forty years, about his long silence. In the dream he claimed to be the mayor of Mequon and we discussed a predicted demise of Toys R Us.
