Say Our Name

In my Links list there are Douglas Pratt’s Blu-ray reviews on Substack. On Amazon, my Prime membership entitles me to borrow this e-book.

Dehumidifier Decommissioning

Goodbye, good and faithful Goldstar 40-pint dehumidifier. You have served me well since 1989, but now it is time for a younger, energy-efficient and quieter, model to take your place.

Jamie Ding, with sixteen Jeopardy! wins, has been added to the Leader Board of Legends.

I winced at the final Jeopardy clue, when realizing that Twin Peaks is now as long ago as it was from Leave it to Beaver.
