Came back to hotel room to do some work (at a conference this week), turned on the TV and was immediately in the early part of ongoing live coverage of the shooting of a local rapper named Young Dolph. He's married with two kids, and wow, are his "songs" not what you might expect from a young-er dad! 
Real name was Adolph Thorton and he did a lot of giving back, like to his high school. I know nothing of this person, but it is sad that someone decided they didn't want him around anymore, just because.

Saw 2 flying squirrels yesterday. One of them glided to another tree about 100ft away.
If you see a moose nearby, get the heck out of there.
I sometimes wonder why certain movies are made. Coming out in December is "Being the Ricardos"
I Love Lucy aired from 1951-1957
Anyone that has watched it in the first run would have to be in their 70s.
I understand that Lucy has lived in syndication for decades, but does someone really feel there is an audience for a movie about her and Desi?

1. Hollywood can't come up with many new ideas
2. Hollywood likes to make movies about itself
Beats me. I'm 70 and have no interest in watching that. I remember the show as a little kid. Do not remember ever liking it.
Had a similar thought when I saw a Lawrence Welk rerun was on PBS. In the Twin Cities so had a brief WTF reaction. That was something the WWII generation watched. Was on rerun for years in Iowa for that generation. Who is alive that would watch that now? Disturbing related thought, the PBS fund raising "specials", lots featuring "aging well" or entertainment with rockers from the 1950s and 1960s. Aimed at my generation. And, do not watch.
If you saw the two together you would most likely be in Frostbite Falls.
I can tell you one thing - the casting totally upset the twitterverse. People were VERY upset that Nicole Kidman (the woman with one facial expression) was cast in the role of the woman of 10000 faces. They preferred Debra Messing, and also pointed out that she is much better at broad comedy than Kidman. I tend to agree. Kidman is just too...regal?...to play Lucy.
As for the "why" part...Lucy opened a LOT of doors for women.
Nicole Kidman has had so much plastic surgery her face can't move.
Notified the FAA of my address change so I guess this move is official.
My neighbor works for PBS. He said they tried pulling Lawrence Welk from the lineup a few years ago and people went nuts. They got a ton of backlash, albeit slow and arthritic, and decided to put it back on.

Oops. Looks like onboarding didn't happen with this fall's school.
We think it did, then the school moved her office and someone shredded a pile of documents. Oops.
One of many side effects to all this switching around is that I waste a lot of time onboarding.
Drake doesn't do it online. I apparently have to make a trip there to do it soon. William Penn is now the champion of onboarding processes, bar none. Too bad they pay the least.

I hated it as a kid. Kind of get a kick out of it now. Never see that much polyester anywhere
I hated it as a kid. Not ashamed to say I enjoy it now. Completely over the top polyester clad oldsters in ridiculous costumes getting down to sounds from the 40’s through the 70’s. Strikes me as funny.
You really want to be sharing all those high school pictures of yourself, bub?You don't think this looks cool af?
