I gallantly asked my wife for a productive and necessary task in preparing for the big feed this afternoon and was directed to french cut a bunch of green beans. I was told that it could be done in front of the teevee while watching football, which excited me a good deal... until I remembered that I don't watch football. But I did scare up the Sabata series at about 1/3 into the second one. Love that Lee Van Cleef! The third one is on now, with Sabata transformed into Yul Brynner (I keep expecting him to go all Egyptian on me). Not really watching so much, got started on the Mimosas - hark! Is that Western whistling I hear in Italian?

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
