I love and admire Michael Palin - Python, his movies, his travel shows, his true friendships with George Harrison and Terry Jones, his long marriage. I’m reading the second of his three diaries and have enjoyed his fiction as well. All around great guy.

Not even Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, Not even THE STING!

I’m going to go with the beard, but just by a hair.

Sweetie, we’re also too old to worry about being the prime demographic of ANY website.

Y’all are SO young.

Monterey has lots of wealthy retirees and the usual assortment of small town professionals: doctors, lawyers, real estate brokers, business owners, financial consultants etc. I’d be surprised if many people go further afield than Salinas to find a psychologist. Although, you’re right, if they want a particular…

I used to live in Santa Cruz also and often worked in Monterey, Carmel Valley, Carmel, Big Sur. Monterey definitely has more people who are not wealthy. I don’t think of it as kitschy in any way.

I’ve had several of the top seafood meals of my life in Bodega Bay. Love that place!

My Norwegian-American family from Minneapolis serves jarred herring in wine sauce or sour cream with Ritz crackers. I love it!

My favorite movie of all time, but I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch it again since Heath Ledger died.

See Brokeback Mountain, seriously.

She’ll be fine. As an employer, having seen this video, I’d be more inclined to hire her.

Jeez, I’m sorry. That’s crazy. There were several cheerleaders in my MGM class. All of them super bright, athletic, hard working and friendly. 

No one humblebrags about Florida State.

My high school posted updated lists of graduating Seniors we were supposed to check to make sure our name was included and correct for our diploma.
