On AMC, where they cut out language and nudity. No real point in watching, if you ask me...

Went to the movies today and saw George Clooney and Julia Roberts in Ticket to Paradise. Pretty funny and a nice way to spend a Friday afternoon after having been obsessed with the election. Feeling relieved that my sat at AZ is coming through.

And the people of beautiful Arizona.

One of my best friends from high school became a Trumpster and lives in Phoenix.

Breaks my heart a little. I want to ask him: What the hell happened to the sweet, funny guy I knew in school?

I got hit in the face (by mistake) by a frozen frisbee tonight while playing with dogs in the dark in the backyard…I’ve got an ice pack on my cheek and a hot toddy on board because that’s just what you do.

No there’s nothing on tv. Happy weekend Aristus!

Vet Day celebration at the VFW where she likes to karaoke. She slipped n fell
N broke a rib! She called me wanting me to get her car b/c they were taking her to the hospital n had just given her a shot of morphine..that was some conversation but I figured it out n got it in her driveway. She’ll be spending a few days w/ her daughter n she’s not happy. She’s quite independent n doesn’t like being told what to do. I love her!

and they are on Peacock too. I had missed a couple of weeks because of election stuff.

The season opener was a triple header: Organized crime bled over into SVU then the courtroom drama on Law and Order.

Prime, Hulu, Netflix, ACORN, Peacock, and PBS Passport.

I also watch a lot of You Tube. I can always recommend an evening with Trae Crowder if you can't find anything.
His new series "Puttin' On Airs" is hilarious!

Find the obscure channel that carries reruns of Perry Mason. Record them and save them for nights like this. Wonderful entertainment--women's breasts and men's shoulders compete for which are pointier--and you get to zap through the commercials for Shriner's Hospital. Be sure you set your DVR to "keep all" because there are ten million different episodes, and you won't want to miss a single one. The cars! The sports coats! The attempt to hide Perry's expanding belly by putting him in dark suits with oversized shoulders--he looks like a black refrigerator box! What's not to love?

I don't have cable any more (500 channels and nothing on) If I am at my daughter's early enough, I can still see Perry Mason reruns.


I remember reading an anecdote in the 1970s, about a young actor discussing line delivery with Raymond Burr. The younger actor said, "Mr. Mason, why do you breathe like that when you are acting?" And Mr. Burr replied, "To live." heheheh

all day theme each day; one day is old westerns, another is comedies, etc
I have gotten sucked in to the old westerns once or twice.
Takes me back to the 1950s and my childhood - Gunsmoke, The Rebel, Sugarfoot, The Rifleman, Paladin, Yancy Derringer, Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, Wanted Dead or Alive and so many more there were about 100 of them from mid 50s to mid 60s.
