I was surprised when I read the part with Eliza Jane in the book. I guess the real Almanzo knew EJ was really like that?

Exactly. In the first few episodes, I just thought he was a dumb racist trope. But Gary Cole brought warmth to the role.

You beat me by 12 minutes! I must say I'm surprised. I figured they'd go another season like Black-ish.

Yeah, I think they've squeezed this lemon for all its worth.

Thanks, I guess that happened in the first few minutes.

So I'm watching "Ma Cuts Her Leg and Almost Dies." I came in about 5 minutes late. I know she was told to lock the door, and gave the peroxide to Charles and the girls, but do we see how she cut her leg in the first place?

I just don't have 35 minutes of interest to watch that!

Right? No babies died or went blind!

I watched "Founder's Day" yesterday, and the Oleson's were eating lunch in their very nice front yard. I remember a few scenes with their front yard, the one with the billy goat comes to mind. I know they had an outhouse, it must have been interesting in the middle of town.

I watched Willy Wonka yesterday, and I'm reminded of the refrain: "Who do you blame when your kid is a - BRAT!"

Today, in these United States, it's National No Pants Day. I imagine that would have quite a different meaning on the other side of the Atlantic.

It's funny, because I can't think of a place less arousing than my office.

Congrats! I don't carry any credit card debt, but I have 10 years left on my mortgage, and the kids will start college in 4 years, so....

Don't double-dip!

We're giving my niece $250 for graduating from college. $100 for a friend graduating from high school seems appropriate.
