@andyd My mom had Danielle Steel's "The Other Side of Midnight" on a shelf. I read it. I brought the book up with my mom. She was annoyed. She said she didn't want to hear it. Lol!

A local theater is no longer showing this, because Amazon didn’t like their marquee marketing. Read for the two marquees

Hey, series are great too!

Norway is in a furore! https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/07/europe/norway-royal-family-scandals-intl I read this so you don't have to. There are suggestions she resign herself to solitude and leave the Crown Prince to reign without her with it further suggested she cite health issues as the reason. I'd divorce her but that's just me.

Is that the Late Show that Letterman hosted or Leno? You can tell I don't watch television often. I'll watch this when I'm in more of a romantic mood. I think it would go over my head at the moment.

Thank you, Steve! That helps me with my second choice so far, too, because the agent told me things that were incorrect and in fact far fetched. I will consider this place after researching if it has been inspected by the State (taller than two stories triggers mandatory inspections after that famous condo collapse in Miami), find out whether there are assessments on the horizon, double check the tax assessment, find out how much insurance would cost, and whether the association has an escrow fund and how much is in it. IIRC, this in Flood Zone X, the highest elevation. You can cross the road and be in a Publix parking lot. https://www.zillow.com/b/911-washington-ave-largo-fl-CjgNWr/ I don't understand why this ad says "for sale" and "long term rental." Do you think "long term rental" is a misprint?

I watched almost an hour of highlights and the trophy ceremony. Link to video The youngest man to win a career Grand Slam a record 88 years in the making. It's interesting how the living legend Rafael Nadal has become the elder statesman of the men's game. Unless I'm mistaken, he's the best clay court player who's lived to date. I like how the sides of the net light up when the ball is out.

I spend my sports watching time only on tennis these days but I've always thought figure skating was a beautiful sport. I'm glad you still enjoy it.

Such genius and wisdom is not seen often. Thanks!

They do some good sometimes but what I like seeing most is when they make some draconian decision, face backlash, and then set the laws/ rules back the way they found them. This happens with some frequency.

I was going to say I love the light fixtures. I didn't see it was reproduction Tiffany. I love the dragonfly motif. It is among my favorite animal motifs along with geckos, frogs, and beetles. Well done!

RFK Jr. was on Epstein's plane but he just needed a ride.

Joe, Aren't you glad you aren't living on the street? I don't know how the homeless manage the winter here, let alone there.

Split pea soup for a cold winter day. Cozy cook recipes never disappoint! [image: IMG-5187.jpg]
