"Why Didn't They Ask Evans" wasn't doing it for me. Not like "The Seven Dials Mystery".

But "Night Manager". That's a show I can get into. The first episode, anyway.

Trying to learn to watch TV.

So not only does Texas have a town called Dime Box, which I knew about, there's an Old Dime Box as well. Could people just not get along, they and had to move up the road a bit?

Population 207 and 200 respectively.

This is what I used to see after Cleo raced me to the office chair. If a cat could say "Nah-nahnah boo boo".

I'm reading some stuff on being more active and one thing they suggest is, instead of messaging or emailing a coworker, to walk to their desk instead. I wonder if this person has ever worked in an office.

Hey. Do you have a podcast, or thinking of starting one? I know a guy who can help you.

Steven Ray Morris of My Favorite Murder fame. He helped make them who they are (millions of followers and sold-out shows), and he can help you as well.

I cut back my mother's begonia and now I'm propagating it. And there's more than this. Not sure what I'm going to do with all of them.
