'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, I forgot to mention that my oldest son Max is playing the French horn in school. He picked it without knowing his dad played the French horn. (He said he picked it because it's "easiest", even though it's actually the hardest brass instrument to play.)

Somehow that makes me feel better, Kathy, some way that I can't explain right now. Although maybe I should feel sad about the preponderance of debates in my lifetime dominated by at least one person that makes me roll my eyes and think "Of course *he* would say that."
The various FCM: M RDJ, throw the rest of them in the air and whichever ones land closest to me I'll keep.
