Agree to a point. The early seasons and novels were very good, the last couple of years have turned into a slog. Actually I feel the same about the Daniel Silva “Gabriel Allon novels. Used to look forward to the annual July drop. I’ll still buy it but it seems that retirement for the Artist/Spy is lacking something, I kind of miss the old Israeli spy group. He’s been doing them for 20 plus years now. The current bad guys have turned into very rich mafia types

But we were around 13, not grown men

Having had a few "encounters" with Colonial Williamsburg's Martha Washington, I can attest this is close to her "public' personality. I don't know about her privately..

All together now....

There was only one commercial running on MLTV here for the Tigers game. I old guy who sounded like Larry of Larry, Darrell and Darrell from the Newhart show telling us to vote no on the state redistricting thing. Quite annoying (I'm not even sure the deawl was real). Annoying enough that I'm not changing my vote

We walked away from the game when the delay started, came back and my wife turned the game on. I scrolled ahead to the bottom of the ninth, to get the final score and see how bad the damage was. That was when I got a text from my son "Just need "Glayber and McGonigle to get on and a Kerry Bonds return". Followed by Greene!!! What a game. I messaged him we were playing catch up. Followed by WOW!!. My notifications let me in on what was happening. I kept quiet to allow allow the spouse to enjoy the ending. It was fun

Where did he have dinner last night, breakfast this morning? Seriously I have a medication that causes issues, like Bert, never in front of an audience.

Trump's DOJ is like five year old who asks for a cookie after being turned down 5 times. The response from the courts should be "HELL NO!!!" "go to your room
