Happy Sunday! I'm going through "Sunday French Press" withdrawal. 😔

I feel a gripe rising in my viscera, and I'm just going leave it lying here like a partially digested rodent on the door mat.

I propose a voluntary moratorium on the following: BTW, FYI - and their extra-snoot versions "just btw" and "just fyi" - and "pro-tip" from anyone who is not making a living in the field for which the tip is offered.

Thank you for listening. That is all.

Placido Domingo, everyone. Here's a nice Spanish music video:

Daughter D and I are going to the Presbyterian church at 9:00 a.m. with the Cub Scouts and to our church at 1:00 p.m.

I saw on Twitter, a picture of the Chinese balloon with Snoopy, coming at it to take it down.

It is probably a deep fake, but a believable one.

I wish they had taken it down next Sunday so that we would have a Deflategate scandal the day of the Super Bowl.

I have never heard of them, but, am saving it to listen.

Afternoon all

I spent part of last night on the phone with Spectrum..to nights ago in the middle of a live podcast, my internet crashed. ( it happens a lot and I have repeatedly said my router is defective. I did all the things I normally do to bring it back and in the course I lost the 5G, the 2G is there, and the 5G is listed as an available network, but I can't find a way to move it to my list. list. So, after an hour over the phone and two techs, and resetting the router with a paper clip...lol...they tell me the router is bad...sigh, I have struggled with warnings and errors about my speed being too slow for over a year...but, the good news is we just have to take the router to the local store and exchange it for a new one...

Happy single digit temperature morning to everyone! The temperature in the NYC metro area was 1 degree F when I woke up at 7am. It is now up to a whopping 12 degrees! (Shortly before 1130 am)

🥶

Am currently waiting to have my dead car battery replaced.

So, thanks for the light content for the weekend!

They were wonderful! Hard to believe that was 14 years ago, but I do remember them.

Did anyone happen to see or remember that show about the band that was trying to “make it,” but meanwhile they were mostly getting work playing at kid’s birthday parties? It was hilarious!

(Richard just looked it up, and the name was “Z Rock.”)

I have a couple of their tracks, but under the name Flight of the Conchords. Most Beautiful Girl in the room is hysterical. I also have the very romantic Business Time: https://youtu.be/WGOohBytKTU

Watching the weather balloon, my first thought was the Duttons would shoot it down around the train station. But then I thought of Dylan “the weather balloon my friend, I’d blowing in the wind”.

Maybe season 6 they could shoot Dylan into the train station.

I had forgotten how funny they were. Did that show run for only 1 season?

That was really different.

Good morning.
