I’ve got a cold, which is why I didn’t post my usual film reviews today.  It says something about how much I love doing all of this that I actually feel guilty about not doing so.  But I promised a lot of people that I would do a better job of taking care of myself in 2025 than I have in previous years.  So …. bleh, being sick sucks!

Been a busy week.  I’ll just say that I’ve enjoyed everything other than being sick.  The week started with a presidential inauguration and then, a few days later, the Oscar nominations were announced and now, tonight, my fever is breaking.
