LB: I’ve come down with food poisoning today…

UPDATE FROM LB: My bout with food poisoning has become a bit scarier over the weekend, although I’m sure I can still make a joke or two about it…if forced.

Bottom Line: I’m putting TVWriter™ on hold this week, and we’ll see what happens after that.

Bottomer Line: Welcoming any and all good thoughts.

Pretty sure this is the dood who made my eggs

by Larry Brody

…So I’d hoped to be able to spend my sick time relaxing and writing a few articles for the coming week of TVWriter™.

But lo and behold!, turns out that, at least in my geographical area, Google is having its own upset and I can’t access most of my online notes and first drafts.

LB: Marvel is Planning a ‘WandaVision’ spinoff for Agatha Harkness

Kathryn Hahn tells us how much she loved WandaVision

by Larry Brody

Well lookee here. If all goes well, my older son’s college buddy Kathryn Hahn will have her own show, playing the Agatha Harkness AKA Witchy Evil Personified on Disney+.

eonline.com seems to like the idea more than merely a tiny bit too:

Per [Variety.Com], the potential spin-off has been described as a dark comedy, with specific plot points yet to be revealed. We’ll cast every spell we know to make this show happen, especially since WandaVision head writer Jac Schaeffer has been tapped to helm the project, should it go forward. read article

LB: “Excuse me, but are you…?

by Larry Brody

Another reason why so many people have a love-hate relationship with Pearls Before Swine. (The first one having been HERE)

Or to put it another way: Don’t let this happen to you, folks. (Although just about everyone I know who has “made it” to some degree at some time has fallen into this deadly trap. And, no, I’m not talking about the waitress.)

FTR: I’m a major fan of this strip, which you can find in great volume HERE read article

LB: Golden Years Leadership Skills

by Larry Brody

Not to be confused with Golden AGE leadership, which is a whole ‘nuther thing (except in the lives of geriatric billionaires, of course. But that’s a mark I’ve fallen hopelessly short of.)
