Terryville, Connecticut, is proud of native son Ted Knight (born Tadeusz Wladyslaw Konopka), who left local television in New England when he got a part as a prison guard in the movie "Psycho," but it was the roles of Ted Baxter on the Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Judge Smails in "Caddyshack" that made him a big star. Remember, "the man worthwhile is the man who can smile when his shorts are too tight in the seat"!
Another movie I can recommend with two hearty thumbs up is "Leave No Trace." It raises a lot of questions about parents and issues both personal and global.

I will admit to being one of those who used to think that "charcuterie" meant a plate of axolotl eggs and watercress. But I learned! It's just a fancy word for cold cuts, like "career transition" means "getting fired." Pass the salami, Tommy!
Life hack: help your duck fix a dinged-up foot with duck tape. Similarly, repair a broken bottle of whisky with Scotch tape.
You don't see these as often as the old days: a Model T Ford turned into a hot rod! Cool ride.
If you find one of these, you'll have enough good luck for a whole life!
This alley in East Baltimore shows how creative people can use a small space to make a big life!
The story went around this week that the Tokyo Olympic committee supplied athletes with cardboard beds in order to keep them from doing the horizontal hula. How hilarious that anyone anywhere thinks that anything anywhere is going to keep young people away from the no-pants dance, the old Dipsy Doodle!
Let's all try to recover from my spate of lewd euphemisms by thinking about the all-natural organic Summer Popsicle!
