perfect role on a great episode of Murder, She Wrote. The Way to Dusty Death, S/4 E/5. She plays a seductive young lady hired to seduce a business tycoon as part of a company’s bid to thwart a hostile takeover. She succeeds in the seduction at least.

Spoiler alert:





The episode’s title is taken from a famous soliloquy in Macbeth. It’s also the title of a book involving formula one in Europe in the 60s, a smuggling operation, and a hero with a confidence problem. I read to make sure I wasn’t missing anything in the episode (I don’t think i was). A much easier read than the famous book whose title is taken from the same soliloquy. From Macbeth:

She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.

Honestly, I might go see Derrick Henry’s. Love that guy.
I’m on my 10th rewatch of Murder, She Wrote. 12 seasons. 264 episodes.

Carol Baker

Great role as romance novelist Sibella Stone in Murder, She Wrote, S9/E22. She’s a strong, older woman who knows exactly what she wants, which includes a much younger husband. Spoiler alert:






She murders her assistant who is having an affair with the husband in a complicated plot that involves her being trapped in a rising tide under a boathouse, blackmail of a second younger man, and more. Great episode.
I’d be embarrassed to cheer for a school that makes these spurious claims to national championships. I mean, who does that?
One thing I didn’t like about the Saban era (one of the very few) was that Finebaum tried to kiss our arse. Screw that guy twelve ways to Sunday. Will literally say anything and knows absolutely nothing. I’m glad he now finds it more profitable to trash talk Alabama, which is the only thing that he cares about. He gives journalists a bad name, which ain’t easy to do.
I’m likely to play but I am not good. At all.
A team that looks well-coached and mad at the world.

How is that? I’ve read Dave since he was handing out papers on the T. But have quit paying much attention the last few years.

This is where we ended up. Mainly for convenience sake but also the people I was with had never been. Food was good to fine. Sat in the high tops near the bar and service was just okay. I voted Lemaire but no one wanted to uber.

Saw L’Opposum and Lemaire on-line. Thoughts or other options? Best steakhouse? Would love to stay downtown or close by.
