Home at last. Mrs. Aristus still in Ohio with the grandbabies. Trying to cope.

[Aristus]

Unlimited bar, and binge-watching “The Mandalorian” for, like, the sixth time.

Happy Saturday Night to you all…

[MLAA]

1. As long as you (and the house) are presentable by the time she gets home, you are good!

[Aristus]

3. No problem. I'm the neatnik. She's the slob.

The place looks good. Just relaxing for a change…

[elleng]

2. Enjoy!

[Aristus]

4. I am.

[GP6971]

5. Happy Saturday Night to you!

Excellent news about the Senate tonite.

[Aristus]

6. Yes, and what a wonderful FU to McConnell.

No more “We can’t confirm a Supreme Court Justice in an election year!” crap. Now, if Clarence Thomas would just do us the courtesy of dying or retiring.

11. He's a real piece of work, alright

What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals!

[Aristus]

12. Wonderful soliloquy from 'Hamlet'.

Someone once pointed out that as poetic as the piece is, it’s actually not poetry at all, but straight prose.

[ailsagirl]

13. Before I knew better, I thought that expression...

was a contemporary one!!

I found out differently and from then on, I was hooked. “Brilliant” doesn’t even *begin* to describe The Bard’s mind and spirit.

[Aristus]

14. No question.

Shakespeare is definitely one for the ages…

[Aristus]

18. I haven't yet mastered my phone's cut-and-paste capability. Now that I'm back on my laptop,

thought I'd send you this:

[niyad]

15. I have a little list. . .

[3catwoman3]

21. And take Alito with him.

ASAP.

[Bristlecone]

7. I'm sure you have watched, but if not, you might like Andor

It has been my favorite of the Star Wars offshoots so far.

[Aristus]

8. Mrs. Aristus and I are LOVING Andor.

I’m waiting until she gets home tomorrow to watch Episode 10.

Avoiding online spoilers is killing me…

[Bristlecone]

9. I have Es 9 and 10 loaded up for a work flight Monday

I’ve been doing the same i.e. avoiding…


Take care

[Aristus]

10. You too.

[niyad]

16. Enjoy your day.

By the way, I know you like to research good vodkas. Found out about one which makes me a bit sad. Called 4 Oranges. Found out about it when I was looking for florida products and companies to boycott.

[Aristus]

17. So it's distilled in Florida?

If so, I’ll pass, too. Just like I’ve given up Russian vodkas for the duration. Which is a shame; Russian Standard is pretty good, and comes in a cool-looking bottle.

I’m still working on a bottle of Nikita Corn Vodka, from Ukraine. If I can support the Ukrainian war effort by buying their vodka, I’ll keep doing it.

[niyad]

19. Sadly, it is. I agree about the others. Several shops here carry Ukraine brands.

I was going to tell you about some Colorado vodkas, but wanted to make sure I had the correct information. To my surprise, when I googled "colorado made vodkas", I came across a large number of them. Looks l ike a trip to Cheers is in order.

[Aristus]

20. Once Ukraine wins this war, I'll dip back into the domestic brands.

Let me know if Colorado vodkas have any special distinguishing characteristics.
