The ABBA song Mamma Mia was released in 1975. The musical Mamma Mia premiered 24 years later in 1999. Since the musical has now been running for 27 years, it has been around longer than the time between the song and the musical.

I've begun rereading Look Homeward, Angel, and I'm finding it as breathtakingly masterful as I did 40 years ago. #ThomasWolfe

Sorry to learn of Don Nelson's death. Our families lived down the street from each other when I was growing up and he played for the Celtics. I used to bike by there all the time. www.newsweek.com/sports/nba/h...

Watching the Tony Awards makes me consider auditioning for a community theatre show again, after I thought I was done.

I don't like an overwhelming quantity of Lord of the Rings, but I can stand a Tolkien amount.

I was excited to watch the Artemis II launch. I feel like that makes me an old-timer — "When we watched the Apollo launches..."

I was going to make a clever post, but then I realized that no everything that comes into your head needs to be shared with the world.

I have mad DJ skills, by which I mean I can crossfade, make great, segues, and slip-cue LP tracks. Man, I'm old.

I would like to work this week but our plowing service hasn't been here and doesn't respond to phone calls or texts. We've turned to Plan B — cross your fingers.

I've been on Snapchat for more than 12 years, and in that time I think I've had two conversations on the platform - and I'm fine with that.

OK, editors of Bluesky, what's wrong with this sentence? Hint: it isn't the passive voice: A few spies had been sent to gather more information, but none had returned alive.

I'll be glad when the expression "not gonna lie" goes out of fashion. It makes the person saying it sound insincere and generally untruthful.
