I taught Intro to Film Studies for years and this came up every year, despite my "preventative lecture." Sadly, even students majoring in the sciences would try to apply medical analysis to predict unrepresented elements of a character's biography.

In my years on tenure and promotion committees the general rule was that teaching excellence & reviewing articles (a service obligation) were less important than quality & quantity of publications/grants. It was only important that the applicant was asked to review for journals. (broken system!)

My mother-in-law has a container like that suitcase & when she was in the hospital with a broken leg she got me to bring it to our house until she got home.

Youtube is convinced that I am German and changes the interface language back to German every time I set it on English.

I worry about losing the ability to run too. I had a knee injury that made it impossible to run for a few years when I was in my 50s and it was very unpleasant. I also had to quit for a month or two after cataract surgery, but I managed to walk regularly then.
