Yul Brenner dropping in to see Yul Brenner at the premiere of The Ten Commandments in 1956. In a sweet Mercedes 300SL by the way.

Sign - Welcome to Licking County
That's not a dry county.
I live there (really)!
@cwhartman ++
So I had to look it up... why Licking?
"It is named after the Licking River, which is thought to be named for the salt licks that were in the area. However, one account explains it as an English pronunciation of the river's indigenous Delaware name W'li/'ik'/nk, which means "where the flood waters recede"."

A two panel screenshot from an episode of the Wire. Walon (Steve Earle) leans into the guy standing next to him and says:
1st panel: "Bubs, I've only got two, maybe three Motown puns left in me"
2nd: "Four tops"

A photo of a vase of pink flowers on my kitchen bench.
I took a few photos of my face with my eyes wide open, but they were too ridiculously weird to post, so, the flowers.
I have run into a bunch of "Old man ailments", lately.
Tomorrow I'm having cataract surgery which is starting to freak me out a bit.
Tuesday I'm having a spot on the side of my nose biopsied - my skin specialist said, Holy Shit! when he looked at it.
My GP has referred me to a urologist because my prostate is just a little bit too big. There are no real symptoms but my PSA number came back slightly higher than the GP would like, so, I've had an ultrasound examination of my prostate, bladder and kidneys, and now a referral.
In better news, we remembered my mother 12 after her passing by putting her ashes in the ground in our favourite park and planted a pink macadamia nearby. A bunch of relatives came along and we walked home and had a pleasant morning tea.
Mum liked pink so the flowers seem fitting.
OK I feel a bit better just getting that off my chest. No more grizzling.

"12 months" it should say
As somebody who had their cataracts replaced already, I can say this: The worst part of cataract surgery is the anticipation beforehand and the eyedrops regimen afterwards. The surgery itself is a relative doddle. You'll do fine.
all my fingers crossed for you. it always seems to all come at once and consequently feel overwhelming, but you can make it through.

#RIP
This photo was a week ago, on Thanksgiving.
My Uncle Steve passed away this morning with Susan by his side after several years of miraculous recoveries from ailments large and small. Cancer being the main one.
4 times iirc.
We all just expected he'd live forever.
He was among the kindest and most generous people you could hope to meet. He treated my aunt and her extended family as if they were his own and from the moment we met him accepted him as one of us.
He was one of the funniest people you could ever hope to encounter.
May his memory be a blessing.
From front to back; my sister, her eldest, Uncle Steve and Aunt Susan. Susan is my mother's sister, the only surviving member of my mothers family.

To live in hearts that love is not to die.

On a dark brown table, a Lego Santa sleigh with Santa Claus minifig and reindeer, Jack Skellington Funko Pop, a figure of Snoopy laying on his dog house decorated with Christmas lights, a Krampus plush, and a small lit porcelain Christmas tree.
Less than 3 weeks to Christmas makes no sense at all.
Only last week it was June, wasn't it?

A hunched figure wearing a coat and a hat walks under a gray night sky and a slightly hazy full moon. The figure has a gnarled cane, and might look like an elderly person out for a walk if it weren't for the fact that its entire upper body is a traffic signal, the red and yellow lights blazing. A low fog hangs over the ground. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Our Die Hard

A stage during a musical version of Die Hard with the John McClain character on the right, a vengeful crook with a long blonde ponytail on the left (both lit by a red light), and two characters fighting between them under a purple light with an 80's Los Angeles behind them. A few audience members in the bottom 1/4 of the image.
I spent my Friday evening with friends watching a holiday show. Hans was played by a woman who stole the show, with sudden mother issue musical interludes, including a great Brunhilda number.
And the digital clock in back was a tally of Bruce Willis references in script to that point. I believe the total was 41.
