Well, you've read the notes, the notes had to be perked up, and now it is time for you to post until the perky cows come home.

We are up to episode eight of 10 this week.

This season's episodes titles are actually movie titles.

This week's episode is called "Lifeboat".  While the episode is not based on Hitchcock's film, there are references to it that liken the situation of strangers stranded in boat with the cast of "Only Murders..." in their current story arc.

Fun.

About "The Prince of Egypt," it addresses the tough issue head-on:

"You might be thinking, isn’t this a Passover story? You’d be right. However, while the events detailed in the story predate the Torah itself, this is still an important movie about Jewish identity, and celebrating the freedom that Judaism holds so dear. "

John G, is everything going smoothly with being an executor?  Has it been a lot of work?

No, it hasn't been too much work. It's more of a waiting game. But there's no probate. Everything was in the trust. I had to stop her German pension and file for the one-time Social Security survivor benefit. Lots of thank-you notes to write. A few more forms.
