Retiree. My cats run my life. They could do a better job of it, but they're cats. 😸 Also a long-time Detroit Lions fan. I don't blame my cats for that. Hello to any #UglyDogs from the old place. I'm not here to see how many followers I can get.

Do with this what you will during these times.

😄 Sure, Sun, come on out finally at 3:30 PM ET.

The biggest cheat in winter is a cloudy day followed by a clear night. 🥶

The second biggest is a sunny day where the high temp is 15.

Well, I'll be damned. Lions win! 🦁🏈

Dan Miller on Lions radio regarding the refs: "You're WORKING tonight. This is a big game! What are you DOING?"

"Those guys are sleeping."

Me: Wouldn't be a Lions-Cowboys without some shitty officiating.

Real Genius is free to watch on YouTube.

So's The Godfather, and a bunch of others.

😄 I don't have Spotify, but YouTube gave me an end of the year wrap-up and classified me as a "Wonder Seeker"!

Called a good friend of mine to wish her a happy birthday. She moved to SW Florida from Michigan about 20 years ago or so.

When she asked me about the weather here (today's high: 20), I thought that she was going to choke.

If you have fond memories of Mad Magazine, you might enjoy this.

There wasn't a whole lot that was new to me, but it was still interesting.

I don't know if @darthbluesky.bsky.social checks in during hibernation, but I hope they see it.

It's all delightful, but at about the 13 minute mark is a classic Talking Heads song.

Those backup singers are awesome.

If I'm elected president, I will put his name on toxic waste sites. Also, there must be an opportunity to establish the Marco Rubio Center for Invertebrate Studies.
In a post on X tonight, the State Department says it “renamed the former Institute of Peace to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history.”

“Welcome to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.”

Jeez. The Bucks lose Giannis during the game but come back to best the Pistons 113-109. 🏀

Haha! Minnesota Men's team upsets the ranked Hoosiers and the crowd rushes the court! Congratulations, Gophers!

Who now can say that everything in Minnesota has gone to hell? 😄

I might be mildly bored, which is rare for me*, and I only mention it in case I die suddenly and the investigation reveals that I was watching Major League Table Tennis on CBS Sports Network. 🏓🏓

*possibly because my cats are sleeping and not stirring up hijinx.

Not that you have to share his opinions - I'm just posting this because he kinda looks like Bob Hope.

I mean, when Bob Hope was alive.

I never have. I don't think that I've missed much.
It might be a good idea for some reporter to ask the Trump administration why they apparently think all American adults are using cocaine.

Are they just extrapolating from their own circle or
That’s right — two thirds of the entire population of America was saved by the president’s brave war crimes.

But did they even say thank you?

Finished rewatching Alias. I think that it still holds up, despite some of the nutty threats and plot twists, mostly because of the constant dilemmas characters face. It's also fast-paced with great stunts.

America has a James Bond, and her name is Sydney Bristow.
Rewatching Alias and there's a season 4 episode that's so quiant: coded messages sent via newspaper classified ad.
Imagine finding out that your dad is a CIA operative and that your mom, who you thought died in a car accident when you were a kid, but didn't, was a KGB operative who'd been sent to honey-trap your dad.

This show had it all and then some.

Not exactly the Muppets version of a Blanc film that Rian Johnson has pushed back on, but I'll take it.
"Ahhhh I have arrived on the Street of Sesame, on a sunny day turned cloudy . . . "

Yes, folks, it's Beignet Blanc!
