Went down a rabbit hole on Ancestry last night, and I guess I'm paying for it now.
Time to wake up and get some things done.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Hope the rabbit hole was productive!

I just spent a frustrating hour wrestling three cans of Hunts tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes with a POS can opener. Are cans more difficult to open these days. This can opener has been failing me constantly so I need another. DRs, what do you use that is very good?

We've had great luck with our EZ-Duz-It can opener.

We have boarded and are thankfully away from a group of screaming kids chasing each other ;D

Returning to Queer. Again, Craig is good. Guadagno is Guadagno.

I bought this, but haven't watched it yet.  I need to, but Thursday is the show in Seattle and tonight and tomorrow, we're having run-throughs.  Maybe this weekend.

My mom is obsessed with this kind of a crank-type can opener:

DR ELMORE my can opener is similar to yours and it does have its ups and downs, so to speak.

The Good Cook Can Opener on Amazon looks nice and has good reviews.  The link is too long so I can't post it....but that should give you enough to search it there.

The chili turned out nicely: hot, spicy, and thick. I think tomorrow I'll try it on some hot dogs.

I watched the Comedians on TCM....and did some reading afterwards.

It is scary that the big fat orange traitor seems to be using Haiti's Papa Doc Duvalier as  his guide.

It gets very weird as the drug hallucinations set in.

I’m now watching Crooked House, which is based on an Agatha Christie novel. I am 30 minutes into it and realized I have seen it before, but I don’t remember anything, including who done it.

I’m too old to be a social media monkey like they were talking about. Whatever happened to that young kid, was it Ian?

He grew up to be "Young Sheldon" - I think it's the same person.

We are all pretty excited around here. There's a 21% chance of rain later this week. Fingers crossed.
