I hear you. Who the heck is Ariane Grande? Bella Hadid? Cardi B-what?

Torched by an angel!

I guess the voters have learned their lesson.

Back before I got a cell phone I got an international calling card. Expensive, but I didn’t use it very much. Now I have a cell phone (not a smartphone), which works in Canada but not in Europe. I’m never sure - is a SIM card something you insert into the phone? (Sorry, I’m old.)

The fact is, I first heard this tale during the Nagano Olympics, when Tom Brokaw devoted an entire hour of Olympic coverage to an interview with Zamperini. Bad enough to be lost at sea for 7 weeks, then to be zaptured and abused, then to be transferred to a camp run by the abuser at the first camp. Who wouldn’t be dama

I am still using the Sunbeam electric mixer my mother had. Its over 50 years old and still works. Also the Sunbeam electric razor I took to college 50 years ago still works. (Mainly because I rarely use either one, but they still work!)

Treats/junk food/snacks. If you really want ice cream or potato chips or pizza, don’t get the cheap brand just because its cheap. Get the kind you really want.

I suppose a wet-bag (or is it a dry bag...?), used in canoeing, would work if you were expecting a significant flood. Its the size of a duffel bag, made of tough plastic, and can be folded over and sealed closed. It’s meant for when your canoe or boat tips over - keeps your clothes food dry. From experience, it works.

Its not just credit, but debit cards. I have zero sympathy for people who complain bitterly when their banks charge them for overspending money that they dont have. That doesnt happen when paying for small expenditures with cash. If you have $4 in your wallet for lunch, well, figure out what will make a lunch for

Thats an insult to Draco. At least he has a conscience somewhere in there.

The NY Times ran a similar piece about the same time, by a guy covering Fashion Week. He lost 5 lbs., mainly because he had to dash to and fro covering shows across Manhattan and didn’t have much time to eat between whatever meals he could snatch. I still think fondly of his “roast beef sandwich and a Coke”. sounds lik

It seems to be a common disease among news anchors. Just be Bob Schieffer.

Gio gets a hysterical edge to his voice. Id hate to share a kitchen with him.

Also Mom rock. I still have my Greatest Hits LP. Used to want to play sax for them.

Thats bouillon, folks, unless you’re King Midas and drinking gold.

Im even older than you, so for me it’s the great variety-show comics: early Joan Rivers, Phyllis Diller, George Carlin, Moms Mabley, Alan King, and yes, Cosby and Woody Allen.

I was informed that in Latin America it means “a$$hole”, orYoure a fa88ot”, so you should use the thumb’s-up sign, except that in Iran that means “Up yours.

Its a nineteenth-century term for a pickpocket, but so suggestive.

Strangely, I discovered one day that PreCheck was on my boarding pass and I hadn’t done anything to request it. I guess they must have issued it automatically due to my age, gender (and no doubt, race), and the low number of flights I take. It’s usually on the pass, and if it isn’t I just pretend that it is and get

Whether I’m flying or not, I’ve finally came to the same “travel uniform” conclusion, mainly so that I won’t have to obsess about my outfits. I basically bring the same clothes each time, with variations for the weather. Nobody remembers what you wore last year anyway. I have a favorite pair of pants - yes, they are
