I got to see Tim Curry at a screening of Clue in SoCal last May. My wife knows I love it and got us a chance to go back stage and say hi to him and Miss Scarlet (Lesley Ann Warren). He was in rough shape but hadn’t lost an ounce of wit. Answered a question about a theoretical Muppet Clue like this.

One of the most surprisingly useful things I started carrying around with me every day is a tiny keychain measuring tape. The need to just effortlessly measure something turns up more often than I expected. And I’m a knowledge worker with no crafty hobbies, but I use it at least once a day.

I saw something in the Internet that if you don’t have a Dad Hobby by your mid 40s, you should be issued one, so you don’t go down a darker algorithmic path. I’m lucky. I’ve got a couple! Here’s one.
