It is indeed difficult to experience the content you disagree with, but you sure do get a better idea on what it is that underlines those views, and the priceless opportunity to sharpen your edge against them. This is why Scott does well in his impersonations. Yet I’ll remind both of you of an important line in Tropic Thunder that I shouldn’t have to repeat. Don’t dive head first in a shallow pool. A toe is always safe, until there are sharks.

Just my opinion mind you. but we already have to register with the Selective Service Bureau at age 18, so why don’t we use it to require all males to serve at least 2 and possible 4 years in the military in a reserve status, going thru training for whatever service they choose or is needed by national necessity. I’d say 4 years is a good term. One year for training, 2 for active service, and 1 for ready standby. Or just a straight 4 years of Reserve duty. A conscription military isn’t as good as a volunteer one, but it will make men out of boys and put them on the right path for life.

That detail about the cookie crumbs on the plate got me to thinking.

It is too bad that The Big Bang Theory did not get to the part where Sheldo has to be gently reminded by his wife (and mother of their child) that “Santa doesn’t wash the dishes every house he visits.”

I was not aware there would be a Stratosphere Lounge yesterday, or ever again.

Moving Back To America took up enough of Bill’s time – that was my thought.

This is nice.

That said, I’d rather Bill took care of himself than ran himself ragged over what I may want or even need. I’m a Grown Ass Adult who should be able to entertain himself.

Like by watching The Mandalorian, which did pick up a little bit into the first season.

My husband was 36 years old when we married. He had never been married before and had no children. He’d had two fairly serious relationships before we met, but nothing that clicked. I figured he would have a long adjustment period, but I could not have been more wrong. He accepted being a husband, a father, a grandfather (I’m older and started young), and a son-in-law immediately. He tells me he felt like he had found his long lost family and felt comfortable for the first time ever. Those who’ve never found that one person who completes you as a person can never understand what it feels like. Russ and I felt that right away. We are so attuned that we’ve never had a disagreement, much less an argument. I wish everyone could find that one person, but it’s getting rarer by the day. Bill understands. He found his one person. And I am very happy that he did.

Bill, apropos nothing I’d be interested in your thoughts at some point on the many decent Dem supporters and activists. People like Springsteen, for whom I have a high regard as a songwriter, performer and raconteur. His politics seem nuts to me, and he has said crazy things like “I don’t know a single social issue the Dems are on the wrong side of”. But he is a decent and thoughtful man, not a guy who goes along to get along. How do they manage what to me is clearly doublethink? How do they rationalise the stolen election and the compromised nature of their frail president-elect? These seem to me important questions. Thanks.
