    The answer was in the question: no, it doesn't. I tend to take care of everything that matters to me. I think I seek to learn just how far my bubble is off plumb.

    Does it make me out of step with culture that I have not ever seen a Toy Story movie? Or any animated movies this century? I sometimes wonder about that.

    Even now we don't have uncorrupted elections. That's how we ended up with him - corruption. They've (the GOP/Putin/et al) gamed the EC (see Gore, Al - another popular vote winner who lost due to EC manipulation/Sandra Day O'Connor/SCOTUS) and won't ever let us get rid of it.

    =41Forever post_id=25606 time=1572542148 user_id=69] I do know, after working in the media for years, that if people are focused on how you are saying something instead of what you are saying, you are not effectively conveying your message and your impact is diminished.

    This from the story I found: "According to the affidavit, after he stopped hitting the girl, he said: “I hope you go in front of the [expletive] Judge and tell him what a terrible dad I am so I don't have to see you anymore.”"

    I recommend his recent book: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51LDWDf8mGL._SX322_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg> I had the privilege to visit with him several times and enjoyed his graciousness and wit. A sad loss indeed.

    Not only misspellings, Rob Drake demonstrates the typical Trump worshiper's ignorance of how "process" works when we have a criminal Attorney General who wants to insist there's "nothing to see here" and refuses to appoint an independent counsel to investigate the charges. Therefore, in absence of that, the House Democrats are doing all the work. Basement? That's where it's done and there is nothing new about that. So now we have yet one more gun-loving idjit threatening violence on behalf of Donnie TinyPaws instead of educating himself as to what's truly happening here and why. Too many people like Rob Drake in our nation and nothing much to be done about those who persist to live in utter and abject ignorance, knee-jerking their way through life.

    I voted Nats. It's complicated.

    Glad not to have to endure an MFY-Nats WS. Because I would not have.

    Because I still love baseball in spite of all the neverending disappointment, I have my personal reasons for favoring Joe Girardi. Which I do. Now I will refrain from commenting while the WCs duke it out for home field.

    Maja looks eerily like Stana Katic.

    For me it's more that from childhood, Casey Stengel meant baseball to me. It's a sort of DNA thing.

    I bet you could. But, if this is "challenge accepted," you can do whatever works best in your opinion as long as you don't include "and so it goes." That's too easy! Btw, no pressure! I'm heading out of town Thursday and will be maintaining radio silence until next Tuesday.

    Wow! So I am famous (in a way). Comes as a shock but explains some of the funny looks I get. Getting a set of parody lyrics is more than I ever hoped for. Thanks! Stone cold sober part is mostly true. Bruce was beyond everyone with Jeet Kune Do. Be like water. If I change my avatar to Kurt Vonnegut Jr, will you write me a story?

    What story? I was born the same year as EJ, started buying his albums beginning with "Elton John," saw him in concert every year until I stopped going to live concerts. I thought it was amazing when he adapted Candle in the Wind for Princess Diana's funeral and managed to get through it. I have no "story" beyond being an AOR geezer and admiring both his and Taupin's creations. My apologies if you inferred a personal relationship from my phrasing. That was not my intention.

    Frayed Knot wrote: That it's not a straight-forward bio-pic -- and seems to be getting better than average reviews -- means I might check this one out, maybe while it's still in Thee-Ay-Ters or down the road via DVD/cable. Still have yet to see 'Bo-Rhap' for essentially the opposite reasons. And if the highlight of the film is a remake of the LIVE-AID performance then I can just check-out a video of the actual LIVE-AID performance. That's the thing. You can get all sorts of genuine performances by the artist. That last thing I want to see is someone pretending to be Freddie Mercury. Or Elton John.
