That's so great about the yoga! I know I never thought I was going to be an exercise person until I had to start pilates, and some day when life is a bit more stable I do want to try some gentle yoga as well.

Nice to be reminded about Ghosts; I keep hearing about it and meaning to check it out!

If Conan Yoga ever happens, I'll hook you up.

I'm so proud of you for trying something new and for keeping up with keeping you around. I look forward to meeting the new Director, hopefully in June?

I'm also glad to hear the Bill and I aren't the only ones enjoying Ghosts. It's such a simple yet enjoyable show. No mega-messaging, no politics, no higher educational degree needed to relate to the character, just a simple smile-fest.

Yep! Sometimes simple is better. And thanks much, I'm trying my best. You can expect a Bunker Operations Field Excursion in Cross Plains next year, guaranteed.

Well, you prepared us for a nightmare of horror with the earlier 'Favorite Elder god on a t-shirt' post at FB, but I will still be reeling from the yoga image for weeks to come... ;) (Glad you're giving it a go-you have the discipline to pull it off.) The Karl Edward Wagner doc sounds like it's worth the rental just to avoid the access business. KEW is dearer to my heart for "The Years Best Horror" than for Kane, but those were mighty good works in the vein. Regards, Craig

The doc did a good job of mentioning his editorial tastes as well. You'd recognize every name author and editor they spoke with.

I'm also annoyed by the amount of content that I can't access from my TV and must access from my laptop, but what I do in those circumstances is just connect the laptop to the TV, so I can still watch on the much larger screen. It's just a layer of hassle that I'd rather not do. Do you not have that option?

I have that option, but I don't want to try and do all of the stupid human tricks to make it happen; especially not when there's an app for Vimeo on Apple TV; it's supposed to work on Smart TVs. And it just...doesn't. Or, rather, it didn't. And by that time, I'd been futzing with it for two hours. Compare that with any other downloadable app on Apple TV, up to and including YouTube, the "Other Vimeo", and set up take about thirty seconds. In 2021, I shouldn't have to do the equivalent of holding rabbit ears up over my TV at weird angles to get a signal if I want to watch a documentary on Vimeo.
