Always great to hear from you Frank. APT by Rose and Bruno Mars is probably the catchiest song since Gangnam Style by PSY

I just watched the Ted Lasso dart scene again.

Isn't Apateu the guy that directed all those raunchy comedies about getting laid, like 40 Year Old Virgin and Superbad? Oh wait, that's Apatow. My bad.

I am embarrassed to admit I haven't watched Skeleton Crew yet. I didn't mind Acolyte by the end, but it did made a dog's breakfast of a "galaxy far, far away" where it was supposed to be clear who the good guys and bad guys are...and that's without even touching whatever identity-political message the series was trying to get across.

As for the Health Care Splinters in Canada's collective mind's eye, none of them matter now or for at least the next four years. I fully expect we'll see ongoing experimentation with doctors expanding the definitions of medical care (for better or worse), and testing the limits of our rickety publicly financed health care system. But a fundamental rethink of anything? Not gonna happen while the nation is dealing with spillover effects of America's Second Bronzer Age.
