While I REALLY don’t want Joe to run, I have to disagree with you here - I actually think he is a completely sincere unctuous glad-hander...

Me neither, but I DO wear Vans...

I have settled on Tullamore Dew as my go-to Irish Whiskey, but enjoy Writer’s Tears as well (it helps that my buddy and I are ‘aspiring’ writers ourselves). Current fav is definitely the Tullamore Caribbean cask - sweet Irish whiskey with a woody rum finish, it’s just friggin’ delightful.

My kids are teenagers now, so this aspect is slightly less relevant. I’m much, much more interested to know when those movies unlikely to ever be put on BluRay will be on Disney+ - “No Deposit, No Return”; “Herbie Goes Bananas”, “Dean Jones Buys a Ski Resort” (might have the title wrong on that one), and all the short…

Similar - I have finally hit the point where the money isn’t worth my emotional well-being (and have the same difficulty explaining this to some groups of people).

Good luck with your own move - hope you enjoy the sabbatical!

We’ve done carrots for the reindeer since our son was old enough to get the concept of Santa. We also leave some apple slices - because they are Rudolph’s favorite.

Pretty sure it’s Dennis Quaid ca. Innerspace?
