Yeah, I'm old enough to have watched Enterprise when it was first aired, and I always went to grab a snack from the kitchen or something while the theme played.

This has been the case historically, where the Republican candidates have demonstrated enviable party discipline and fallen in line after the nominee has been chosen, but Trump and the rest of the MAGA crowd have shown themselves to be so duplicitous that they won’t even honor agreements made with other Republicans. The more mainstream candidates like Pence may just figure that this time around there’s nothing in it for them, that they won’t get anything from Trump in return for their endorsement, not even goodwill.

Trump tweeted that Pence “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.”

Trump is so unprincipled that he managed to get it exactly backwards. January 6 is the one time Pence actually stood up and did the right thing. I loathe the man, but I won't deny him credit where it's due. I can't even begin to imagine the level of chaos if he had gone along with Trump and his followers and refused to certify the 2020 election results.

I’ve told my wife that she doesn’t have to spend time with me if I end up with dementia and I start behaving that way. Both of my parents were more or less all there well into their 90s, but you never know.

My old land line was almost the same number as an entertainment venue whose number spelled TICKETS. People would sometimes dial 1 instead of 4 (corresponding to the letter I), and get me. Usually on weekend mornings, grr, but fortunately it didn’t happen too often.

I brought mine with me when I got the latest booster, and the pharmacist said that she hadn’t seen one of those in a long time.
