I should go see The Boy and the Heron. I don't know that I've ever seen Miyazaki on the big screen

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thanks for the birthday happies! And HBD to Theo and Rayne, too!
(Though Matilda's first comment after the movie was, "Dammit! Why is every story a dead mom story!")
I saw Fun Home (a dead dad story) literally three days after my father died, and was I ever relieved that the point of that show was that the dad sucked.
Yeah, I could see that.
Happy Birthday Jesse!
Happy Birthday Theo!
Happy Birthday Rayne!
Happy Birthdays!!!!
Re: vacations
Does anyone have hotel recs for Paris? Safe, inexpensive, close to metro would be ideal.

Yeah, sometimes when you don’t expect it at all.
Laura, I know COVID isn’t restful. Being sick never really is. At any rate… I have the flu. Came home early from work, fever now 101.1. Most of the classic symptoms. I just got my flu shot a week ago Friday, here’s hoping it helps at least a little.
msbelle, I stayed at the Hôtel Saint-Marc – 36 Rue Saint-Marc, 75002 Paris -- in late October of 2017, so pre-pandemic. It's a pretty short walk from Opéra station -- 600m or so along Boulevard des Italiens.
Thanks Karl!
Sending happy birthday wishes to Amyparker today! I do hope that it is a day filled with treats and that the year to come is joyful.
Another cause for celebration, a negative Covid test this morning. I still have a cough and my belly is fragile, but still happy to see this.
