As of this morning I have completed the 300-mile challenge, so I've done my bit. Now it's time for you to do yours. 🙂 I'd love it if you'd donate the American Cancer Society. Please share this post. Thanks. www.facebook.com/donate/10955...

The ads for MEMORY OF A KILLER describe the show as "unforgettable:...which seems like a poor choice of words considering this show is about a hitman succumbing to Altheimer's. :-/

Pitch for a sitcom...CIA: She thought she was going to join the Culinary Institute of America but she's whisked off (pun intended) to Langley to train with the Central Intelligence Agency. Now she's flipping pancakes and foreign assets to stop evildoers around the world. It's the perfect recipe...

I hate that I have to subscribe to #AppleTV to watch #F1. I especially hate that Apple TV locked me out of my account after 1 day and it's going to be until next week until they can sort it out. Just incompetent. #RansomTV

Comedy writer Rob Grant died this week. He was part of the writing team Grant-Naylor. He'll be best remembered for co-creating Red Dwarf but his comedy writing stretched far wider than that especially in sketch comedy. I've been laughing at his writing since I was teenager.

I’m cycling 300 miles during the month of March to help the American Cancer Society (ACS) fight for a world without cancer. I'm hoping to raise $300. If you'd like to donate, pls go to: www.facebook.com/donate/10955... #cancer bsky.app/profile/acsc...

Wow, FLOW is bleak. I was depressed by the end. Now it maybe because the cat looks and acts like my Silva, but either way, sheesh.

I like Mrs. Simon to find me in noncompromising positions so I can say, "It's not what you think." It's quite tedious for her.

Don't know if anyone has seen this TurboTax ad. It features the TurboTax song...not a jingle but a song featuring tax information. I'm sure the lyricist died a little inside coming up lyrics for this one. What were they thinking? youtu.be/mqJ3IFWHqXU?...

THE PINK PANTHER STRIKES AGAIN holds a special place in my heart as it's the only film that nearly got me kicked out of a theater. The film came out on 8th birthday and my mum took me to see it. Apparently, we laughed too much and the usherette told us repeatedly to knock it off.

Just saw a car with the license plate "❤ TO ESC" aka "Love to Escape." One thing though. The vehicle was parked outside the county jail. 😕

I'd love to a movie take place on daylight savings day just so when the detective asks for 48hrs to solve the case, his angry captain will say, "You've got 23hrs." #ClicheBusting

Went for a cold and chilly ride this morning. A decent ride, but a ton of road furniture today. However, the Star driver of the day goes to the guy who passed me at 71 mph in a 40mph zone in his pickup. #cycling
