  1. Do we care if it's mental or physical?
  2. The Holdovers - solid. Needed more of the LDS kid and Short Round.
  3. Make the DA pay the costs and fees to Trump's lawyers for bringing all this shit up, write a short opinion reading Willis the riot act about being stupid and then move on.
  4. Same here. Son in law is the young Turk of Allen residential real estate. Which means grandson is here which means wife won't leave until grandson finishes his career at QB of Allen High School.
  5. Um, how can you be a Confederate with bone spurs?
  6. I'm probably closer to Joe's age than you, and I remember when there were more quality shampoos on the market and a sweet smelling pate was better appreciated.
  7. Making me realize how good we have it in basketball.
  8. Intellectually, I agree with you. I turned that game on when we were up by 14 or so in the second half. Hard to say that emotion and coaching didn't have a little to do with the final result.
  9. LBJ and Lady Bird and Honest Joe Biden and Robert Caro have pieces of guys like Trump in their stools.
  10. We know Trump raped a woman. To be fair, Biden maybe one time probably thought about raping a woman, so they are both the same.
  11. The trick is to understand this, but not to let that understanding ruin your day.
  12. Just to keep things in perspective, current anthropologic theory suggests that the original hunter gatherers were extremely happy - arguably more so than men at any other time in history. (Except for their final day, when they were (hopefully) surprised and murdered due to their inability to pull their fair share.) So things can, indeed, get better.
  13. Fitzgerald, like Hemingway, wrote better short stories than novels, IMO.
  14. Going Zero - by Anthony McCarten (2023) (Audio) Meh. Great idea for a novel. Starts out fine, cleverness peters out in the last 1/3. Dialogue stilted. Narrator on audio not great. Technology perfunctory. (Probably sexist, but women narrators trying to differentiate between male characters run into trouble. You don't sound like a man in the first place, so why try to not sound like a man ten different ways.) The movie will hopefully clean that up.
  15. Yep. No country for old men. Below is still the funniest book I've read in the last few years. Just an incredible portrait of his mom and dad. And as a Coen Bros fan, I loved the stuff on the Coen's early days. Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother: Memoirs of a Neurotic Filmmaker 2020
