    I would be annoyed if that was also the respose that came to my mind first…

    I’ve avoided them too, sort of. I bought a window AC over a decade ago that you could connect to WiFi and control with an app but I never did either. I’ve inherited a couple when I bought this house - a front combo lock I can program via my phone (I can set a temporary one-time code for a tradesman, for example). And I think my thermostat has such capabilities that I’ve never configured. My car has an app that allows me to remotely start it. I like that when it’s very hot or cold out. Really more when it’s very cold out.

    Thanks, Al! I have played most of the games on that list (and am familiar with all of them). Daybreak is one of our absolute favourites, and we have had Splendor for over a decade and still play it frequently!

    Year-round Christmas! I have year-round Christmas avatar, year-round Christmas tree (lit!), year-round Christmas string lights (also lit!) in front of the house. Not weird, I just have very strong Christmas spirit, year-round.

    @Steve-Miller said: Politics in Ohio is a blood sport. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s a fairly recent development. I hope it is short lived. I’ve never seen it this bad and it reeks of Steve Bannon.

    I remember it like it was yesterday. My father rushed down the hall saying Carter won. He was crestfallen. I had a general sense it would have been worse if Ford had won. I kept this to myself as you might imagine.
  • One of the best actresses of my generation

    Who else is on my list? Rose McGowan. The best. "I was good. I could have been great." She was great. The best film actress of my generation, with a career headed into the stratosphere. Then she got blacklisted. Hence, "Charmed", and the rest is history. Brooke Shields. Ok. She could barely act her way out of a paper bag. But look at her, from when she was born until now. What can you say. Her biography includes the fact she earned a degree in French literature, and the unusual enough fact her father was a penniless aristocrat. She did a TV show where she presented genealogical research tracing her ancestry to a king of France. So she goes to Paris and is filmed standing next to her ancestor the King's bust. As one does. A "big star" in the culture. Not a "great star" in any sense. She probably doesn't belong on my list but I'm putting her on it anyway. I'll try to think of more. My grandfather (b. 1903) told me about Clara Bow (b. 1905) when asked about female stars. Times change!
