    • Creature Commandos (ongoing) - Liking it so far.
    • Black Doves (ongoing) - Excellent.
    • The Old Man S1 (ongoing) - Losing interest fast.
    • Lioness S2 (finished) - Disappointing. Degraded into a nonsensical and preachy action schlock. None of the intimate emotional suspense was there. It had chances, but wasted them all.
    • Final Space S2 (ongoing) - Why did I find this show after its cancellation? So good.
    • Arkane S2 (ongoing) - So far, good.
    • The Diplomat S2 (ongoing) - So far, good.

    I generally only watch one or two episodes per night, so this list won’t change much.












  • True story: In 2018 I was pretty sure I was or was about to have a heart attack and possibly a stroke. I drove to the ER rather than call an ambulance. As soon as they checked my vitals, they prepped me for emergency surgery. As I was in the O.R. my wife was listing our second home (he one we wanted to retire in) for sale because she was certain that the medical expenses would bankrupt us. Everything worked out well, but the fact that while I might be breathing my last breaths all I am worried about is leaving my wife in financial ruin is not something I can let go of.







  • …the judge is on the side of Jones.

    I believe there are two different things being mixed up here.

    • Jones was asking for the sale to be deemed illegal due to collusion between The Onion and the Sandy Hook parents. The judge dismissed that argument.
    • The judge stated that the trustee made a mistake in calling the auction done before allowing for another round of counter offers. He stated that the amount raised by the sale was not high enough and that too much “money was left on the table”. If anything, this will put more money in the pockets of the Sandy Hook parents.

    Columbine kicked off an epidemic of school shootings because of the attention it got. Some people need a focus for their misery and I am not ashamed to say that I would rather see heartless corporate executives fear for their safety instead of school children gunned down as they hide in a closet. Just putting that out there.
