For 2019, Honda is bringing the Super Cub motorcycle back to America. This time with keyless electric start, electronic fuel injection, cast wheels, and an anti-lock front brake. Should this be my next set of retirement wheels?
John Oliver’s show is reason enough to subscribe to HBO, which I don’t do, so I feel guilty watching his videos for free on YouTube. Having responsibly fulfilled the duties of Durable Power of Attorney for my father before he died, and since his passing being Trustee of the estate, this installment of “Last Week Tonight” is especially meaningful to me.
At the end you will see some well-aged celebrities, including 92-year-old Cloris Leachman. Here she is in her very first screen appearance, over 60 years ago. Four years ago I embedded this video of one of my all-time favorite movies, and I’m very surprised it’s still here.
Jerry Maren seems like the third “last surviving Munchkin” obituary I have seen in recent years. With the 80th anniversary of the movie coming up, Denro suggests that one of the children who were in the crowd scenes of Munchkinland might still be alive.
After “The Americans” finished up its run, the thought came to me that the series has one huge trait in common with “Breaking Bad.” The villain(s) in each TV show is hiding in plain sight, successfully concealing his bad guy identity from a law enforcement agent with whom he has a close relationship. I’m sure others must have pointed out this similarity in fan forums, but I don’t follow them.
With “The Americans” the identities of Philip and Elizabeth Jennings are false fronts. In contrast, Walter White in “Breaking Bad” transforms into Heisenberg. In a way it’s like Clark Kent being Superman’s made-up identity, while Bruce Wayne becomes Batman. Except they’re good guys!
I’m preparing for another trip to Phoenix, in the ongoing work as Trustee of settling my late father’s estate. The CPA I hired to handle the taxes needs a lot of paperwork, and I’ve been sorting through it all.
Just as I was about to call it quits for tonight, on SiriusXM radio Cousin Brucie played the one and only song in existence with my father’s name in the lyrics! It’s a sign from Dad, who really did believe in ghosts, that I’d better stick to the task at hand for a while longer. This time of year I’d rather be going to Alaska than Arizona!

Pompeo has that look everybody else in the White House has when Donald starts speaking. He has absolutely no idea what will be said, regardless of what he may have been told the stated position would be. Sometimes I wonder if Trump even knows at any given moment what his next utterance will be.
