My wife and I are feeling much better. Still some lingering cough and excess mucus, but we no longer feel "sick". Sunday was the worst day for me. Ugh!
We've both been taking Airborne (fizzy tablet in water) twice a day. Plus Mucinex DM. And our doc prescribed Tessalon Perles, which helps...
We received another COVID vaccine 2 weeks ago. A week ago we decided to start easing off on wearing masks when in public indoor spaces. Three days later I woke up with a sore throat. It's not COVID (I've tested daily). I'm in middle of the worst cold I've had in many years. My rib cage is...
My 4K Blu-ray copy of The Abyss finally arrived today. I've already watched the 4K Special Edition via iTunes (I purchased the digital copy about 2 weeks ago). I'll watch the 4K Blu-ray in a year or so.

So completely sick of superhero films! If I never see another Marvel Universe film it will be too soon!
Thank goodness for 'Horizon: An American Sag' part one, coming in June (and part two in August)!! I haven't been this excited to see a film in the theater since 'The Greatest Showman'!

The CDC is now recommending a second dose of the 2023-2024 vaccine for those persons over 65. Our HMO reached out to us, we have appointments next week.

I didn't order until mid February. Amazon doesn't appear to have any stock left and I have no idea when mine will ship. It probably doesn't help that I suspended Amazon Prime last month.

Friends recently gifted me a bottle of this. They brought along some bourbon dark cherries and some oranges for twists. It was quite delicious! Highly recommended! Once this bottle is gone, I will be buying another! :D

I'm really bummed that Costner won't be returning to his role as John Dutton for the 2nd part of the final season of 'Yellowstone'. But after watching the trailer for 'Horizon: An American Saga', I will happily trade a few episodes of Yellowstone for this 4-film series!
I haven't looked...
I will preface my comments by stating... 5 years ago, I didn't believe there was any chance that I'd type what I'm about to type...
Just as playing music from little round shiny discs is basically dead, so too is playing films encoded on little round shiny discs. Well, not quite as dead, but...
ITunes now has the extended version of The Abyss but I'm gonna buy the 4K Blu-ray. I'll also buy the 4K Blu True Lies, but I'm gonna wait for the price to drop below $20.
I paused my Amazon Prime (out of protest due to the ridiculous $2.99/mo to avoid ads on Prime Video). So far, so good. I...
The iTunes 4K digital is Dolby 5.1. We watched it last night. It looked and sounded terrific. For $5, I am a very happy camper! If the price for the digital had been $14.99 or higher, I would have probably opted for the 4K Blu-ray. But for 5 bucks, hard to resist!

The 4K digital is currently available on iTunes for $4.99 purchase price. Not only no slipcover to take up shelf space, no case or disc to store! :)

Our personal weather station has recorded just over 10 inches of rain since January 1. We have more rain on the way next week.
I'm officially sick of the rain. We've had clear blue sky (but cool) the last few days. It can stop raining anytime and I'll be fine with it.

I freely admit to partial loss of hearing. But it is all high frequency loss, WELL above the range that human voices can produce. I can easily hear even the shrillest of sopranos.
