Sorry for your loss

I'm in the position again of watching people grieve over a national hero that I know next to nothing about. Happens frequently.

I'm sure K.B. was a good (mostly) person and great athlete.

But it is powerfully annoying to scan TV channels and encounter show after show about how wonderful he was. They leave my emotions untouched.

As with the murder of John Lennon, the biggest loss is his potential for more great acts. And the potential of his daughter.

Farewell, Black Mamba.

Stewart the Imp rocks

Gave in to Fate and watched "Star Trek: Picard" last night. My mind is rightfully boggled.

Pointless meandering on screen

Gave in to Fate and saw "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker." There's so much wrong I don't know where to start, so I won't.

I remember, though, when "Star Wars" movies were fun. None of the characters dashed around like they were on Meth.

It must be wrong to not like a character because he's played by a homely, on the verge of ugly, actor. Talented, but Sweet Lord he's hard on the eyes. His character had the only human moment in the entire carnival: Saying "ouch" when he slammed into Death Star wreckage.

Best part: the tickets were a gift; all I paid for was popcorn and soda.

My hearing aid crapped out yesterday. Checked the paperwork; it has a 3-year warranty. Guess when I got it. Two years and three months ago.

On the other hand, it is restful in the house.
