Went to see The Sphere this evening. Did not see The Wizard of Oz, saw Postcard From Earth. It's like IMAX on steroids. Very cool.

Not that I didn't know this up front, but Vegas just isn't my vibe. If it weren't for the Star Trek convention, there's no way I would choose to come here.

My least favorite part of travel is the actual traveling. So glad I never had to travel much for work.

Good to know. Feels like every time some group like this turns up these days, it's just another bunch of Nazis.

31 for me. Never cared for horror films, so missed most of those, plus a couple of others.

I hope it's not as white-supremacy-based as the current crop of "Norse pagan" types in this country and parts of Europe.

Albert has had his share of adventure this year.

Two days ago, Charley gnawed a hole in one of our interior walls. Never a dull moment.

I feel your pain. We just went 3 weeks without the dishwasher waiting for a repair. May yours be much swifter.

This video reminds me of the little films they used to show on Sesame Street back in the 1970s.

what is the most unique museum u have visited

Gonna go with the Handbag Museum In Amsterdam, because I had zero interest going in (it was my wife's choice), but I really enjoyed it and it had a lot of interesting stuff.

Well that sounds like a good excuse for a Saturday excursion to me.

North By Northwest is one of my favorite films, but I have never seen it on a big screen. Remedying that this evening.

I was 9-10 when Zoom premiered, so prime age group for the show. The segment I remember being fascinated with was about two kids who went fishing, then baked the fish in mud on a rock and ate it.

My wife, who grew up in Newton, went to school with a couple of kids from the show.

I remember watching it a couple of times. It was more like a Black "McHale's Navy" than Black MASH in terms of humor and hijinks, although even MASH started out a lot goofier than it wound up.

One week until we leave for #StarTrekLasVegas! It's 94 degrees here today, with a "feels like" temp of 102, so we're getting primed for the heat.
