    Two years ago, my brother, much older half brother, and I were hottubbing one day, and he mentioned the show he and our older brother used to watch back in the day. He could remember one character, a beatnik, and another, clean cut, chasing girls. I said "you mean Maynard Krebs and Dobie...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Started into the final season of Superstore, loopy fun with no guilt attached. A wee bit heavy on the social commentary, being shot in 2020, but no where near as horrid as the final season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or as I call that, the season that does not exist. The com part of sitcom stands...

    Took the family to see Spider Man: No Way Home new year's eve, after having Chick-Fil-A for the first time ever (only the fifth one to open in Canada so far, the first stand alone one and first with a drive-thru), eaten in the car as no in store dining yet. Food was really good for fast food...

    Alan Dershowitz has a good article on his views. A tough read for sure, but I look at the good as well as the bad in anyone. A great man. Flawed, of course.

    Looking her up, I had no idea she was born in, of all places, Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. Family, from England, moved to Southern California when she was still a baby. We will gladly claim her as one of ours notwithstanding!

    Cairo Cavalcade of Christmas continues with catch-up films. Wife and I had a double feature of A Christmas Carol, 1951 Alastair Sim one and only, and then It's a Wonderful Life, accidentally the colourized version disk I was too lazy to replace.

    Classic department store?

    Speaking of Selfridges, it will no longer be Canadian owned, but Thai owned. The billionaire Weston family has agreed to sell, after the death of patriarch Galen Weston Sr. in April. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/selfridges-weston-1.6297455
