No. It looks like something I could enjoy, but I intentionally left it out of my schedule. I already watch too much TV.

Alas. This is a show I will one day watch.

random thought: Elderberries

non-random thought: it's kind of disgusting to watch your kid sick up at the dentist.

I should keep track of how many times I sneeze. I'll bet it's more often than average.

The weather in Indy has begun to moderate. Forecast high today is only 90 degrees.

I also saw a couple of runners on my way to work this AM. There was just enough traffic to make it impossible for drivers to give the usual space to them, so each runner (one in each direction in different blocks) had to run on the "grassy verge."

Staples? But they start straight and are only curve when you staple them in to the paper.
