TCM, for those of us whose cable packages include it, will be paying tribute to Rob Reiner on January 28th with an evening of movies that kicks off with The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally & concludes with Stand By Me and This Is Spinal Tap.

This was SO fun to record! The best romantic comedy ever, directed by the late great Rob Reiner.

Apparently my and my kid’s flu + Covid vax wouldve been fully covered at a pharmacy. Instead, we went to a Minute Clinic (inside CVS) because they were the ONLY ones in MO who would verify they had a pediatric Covid dose. Now we owe for a clinic visit + vax copay.

Guardians vol 2 & 3: lonely men will destroy the universe instead of going to therapy.

I did three Lego leagues and wow did they take some time!! One from Australia (they found me before my current town’s league did).

I often think that people talk about AI as Boromir talked about the One Ring. “Ah, it’s a gift!”

Peacock interrupted coverage of the women’s marathon in Tokyo for a heat of the men’s 1500. Bloody typical.

Our dean of libraries and our registrar were both fired this week with no (revealed) plan for replacing them.

It was difficult to explain to my 11yo the cultural hold that the Seinfeld episode that revealed Kramer’s first name held on all of us in the winter of ‘95.
