  1. Dean Cain is handsome in a William Shatner kind of way. But enough about him. Does anyone else like the young man sitting behind Ms. Matthew's. My eyes might return to him in the lockerroom. Do they call that "corn fed good looks"?
  2. The Bear on Hulu. A drama. Set in a Chicago restaurant. So far I love it. The last show I loved this much on Hulu got cancelled so I'll enjoy while I can.
  3. Full disclosure, I do not own a DIA and have no plan to. You are all responsible for your own due diligence. I made no recommendation.

    Julee Cruise

    Ran across this interview. Julee Cruise and Twin Peaks fans might be interested.

    Julee Cruise

    While surfing the Internet today I saw the B52s would give their final tour which prompted me to find out what Julee Cruise ( known to many for Twin Peaks) has been up to. She had subbed for Cindy Wilson on tour in the past. I am so sorry to hear she passed away last month. Her husband reminisced what a thrill she got out of performing with the B52s. He played their hit Roam as she transitioned. I ran across this clip including a past TV performance. Born: 12.01.56. Creston, IA Died: 6.09.22. Pittsfield, MA R.I.P.
  6. I resist this type of investment. I worry what happens to my $$ if the insurance company becomes insolvent. That said, if Warren Buffet (Berkeshere Hathaway) owns the insurance company that would raise my confidence significantly.
  7. The first reader comment I found for that article predicted Fidelity's decision will come back to haunt them. I agree. A quick look at Bitcoin down 55% YTD vs NASDAQ down 23% YTD suggests to me crypto is not tracking the NASDAQ as suggested in this thread. When I lived in the Midwest a weekly agricultural show, called Market to Market, had guest pundits that would predict where the price of beans or pork bellies was headed. One could tell these guys really didn't know, anymore than relying on The Farmers Almanac to predict yields. For me, the folks that are promoting crypto are even more lacking solid knowledge where the price is going next. At least pork bellies represent a true underlying value. Crypto, not. IMO the demand is only sustained by the crypto industry itself shilling for more to join the market. And now Fidelity has come aboard. Does anyone see similarities to a pyramid scheme? In this case, the ability to join the scheme requires just a few keystrokes. I try not to judge my coworkers that joined the crypto train as pigeons. I do worry how they have sacrificed a large piece of their nest egg. Full disclosure, I moved all my qualified retirement $$ from legacy Fidelity accounts over to Vanguard at the end of last year. Glad that I did.
  8. I agree with you, and knowing what prompted Annie Proulx to write the story, and that she gave the thumbs up to the film because Larry McMurtry was going to write the screenplay might cause anyone to think twice before poo pooing the film as cliche. And then there's Ang Lee's direction. I just ran across this piece discussing some of the editing.
  9. Or something relateable. He enjoyed his last combo massage. 😥
  10. If I don't know who is calling I either don't answer or I'll pick up and let them talk first. I did take a very important call that way last week. But yeah, if it is important they'll leave a VM. To the OP, yes the frequency of spam texts have gone up. "This is Jessica. Got number from Peter" Or this morning I received "Zendaya, after work we can go to take a cup of coffee together or not?" The English seems as though poorly translated. I agree with the above, never responding and usually blocking them.
  11. Is anyone familiar with Redwood Village, in what is referred to as Mid City section of San Diego? Approximately 3 miles south of I-8, in the vicinity of San Diego State U. There was mention of a Little Saigon over there. My impression so far is the area is safe, quiet and relatively affordable compared to many other areas.
  12. I noticed San Diego masseur RealManTouch, known as Bene, (above) has switched to his own custom Website and he advertises there with another provider, Anthony (below). My question is how would you guys compare these two? I see a lot of positives posted about Bene.
  13. Circling back to Happy Together. I watched it again last night and now I wonder if Chang was in love with Fai? I have the Criterion disc, so maybe I'll find answers in the extras clips. There seemed to be clues, how Chang chose to keep an eye on Fai and to be near him, even showing physical affection during their soccer games, grabbing Fai, arms around from behind. I've read comments on the Internet whether the movie chose to keep the relationship ambiguous. But certainly, the two were a symbol of how two people might be happy together. That said, I'm glad I purchased the Wong Kar-Wai box set. Such unique movies.
  14. @Lucky I just read the NYTimes article. A good read. Love how they remembered his singing.... Ooh-oo child Things are gonna get easier Ooh-oo child Things'll get brighter Susan Payne of PRIDELA.ORG referenced the article in her recent piece on Burke who was honored at this years Los Angeles Dodgerf's LGBTQ+ Pride Night. https://thepridela.com/2022/06/44-years-later-mlbs-first-openly-gay-player-glenn-burke-now-celebrated-by-dodgers/ “The most unique human being, the most dynamic person, that I’ve ever met,” said Larry Corrigan, a minor league teammate of Burke’s (1973 to 1976) before working more than three decades as a scout and executive, mostly for Minnesota. “He was built like a god. He was funny, witty and semi-loud if he knew you. But he could be quiet, too.”
  15. 72F here but the real feel = 84F. (What determines that?) In the direct overhead sun I did begin to wilt, kinda like during the Palm Springs hike.
