I agree. It was my favorite movie of the summer. Tom Cruise may have some crazy religious beliefs, but the guy pours it all out on the screen.

Yeah, this is a new one on me.

My Amazon page has looked like that for weeks; I'm not sure exactly when it changed, but certainly before Christmas.

I live in New Hampshire. I can't NOT do snow pictures.

It's biased against people in the northeast, too. It's going to be -9 with a windchill of -31.

Buttons in cars are becoming insane. While driving my parents' Buick Enclave, I have no idea how many times one of us brushed the hazard light switch while trying to use the radio. The switch doesn't even need to be pressed in order to set it off, merely touched.

My friend's dad was a USAF test pilot in the group just after Yeager and he once told me a story about how their supersonic test runs would shatter windows in the local hotel. I thought he meant nap-of-the-earth passes like this, but they were actually almost a mile high. Now that's a boom.

I just figured it was sheer grit.

I saw it as a metaphor for becoming old mentally. As in becoming hidebound, conservative, closed to new experiences and thoughts.

Nope.

I always saw that as a metaphor, not a literal statement.

Go for it. You got this.

It's a good thing our ancestors invented sharp sticks or we would have all been eaten before we invented the internet.

Not you, Kate. Although if you're under 35, you probably look like a 12-year-old to me. That's one of the things they don't tell you about getting old.

I can't argue with that list. In a proper surround sound home theatre, Gravity is amazing.

It's not just what you say, it's how you say it.

For short amounts of time, Flipboard or Rise of the Blobs are my main go-tos.

AKA "spying on my tenants."

My friend just recommended that one the other day. I need to check it out.

You should write a song about that.
