    2024 World Figure Skating Championships in Montreal

    For god’s sake, don’t go near that pizza! It outwardly appears as pizza but will not sustain human life. In desperation I ingested some yesterday and this morning I felt like the worst ultra-processed product imaginable was replicating through my cells.

    And did you notice there were no sinks either? Don’t guys wash their hands? If this happens tomorrow, when you walk out look across and you’ll see a hand sanitizer station.

    Presumably you use this if you don't have Global Entry?

    2024 World Figure Skating Championships in Montreal

    If you have a backpack purse, make sure you go through a security line with a female inspector. They’ll know what the purse is about; the guys won’t necessarily. I can’t remember what arena I had to do that one at.

    Thank you so much for bolding that tablets are banned! I would have brought my iPad mini to read books on during the breaks and now will make sure to bring a paperback.

    Wildfires in Maui Hawaii forcing evacuations

    Another good charity that is already bringing aid to Maui is World Central Kitchen. This is the organization headed by Chef José Andrés. So far, they've been bringing food and meals to the first responders and to houses that are sheltering dozens of people who have lost everything. I donated to...

    Wildfires in Maui Hawaii forcing evacuations

    People should stay away from Maui until the islanders say it's okay to return. Resources are going to be thin for awhile, so go elsewhere in Hawaii. I went through a horrendous fire some years ago in a resort town in California, and one of the worst things was when the police let the general...

    Wildfires in Maui Hawaii forcing evacuations

    My son was just at one of the 5-star resorts north of Lahaina with his wife and kids. They're now in Honolulu. His description of the other hotel guests sounded like something out of the White Lotus. People were continuing to play golf, some were blithely asking for "fresh towels," and one woman...

    The Heir, The Spare and the “Baby Brain” -The Prince Harry and Meghan show rumbles on…

    I'm not going to read the book. Those are hours I'll never get back in my life. On a side note, :sekret: in Santa Barbara tell me that Harry comes into the Rite Aid drug store fairly often, but always alone and never with Meghan. They love him because he's got the British charm.

    The Heir, The Spare and the “Baby Brain” -The Prince Harry and Meghan show rumbles on…

    The Telegraph had a good column (can't link to it, sorry!) titled "Someone needs to tell Harry he's not the only one dealing with famous family dynamics; it's a different type of tough coming from privilege"... "Wherever there’s an eldest and a middle one, there’s a potential Harry (or Harriet)...

    WNBA's Brittney Griner arrested on drug charges in Russia UPDATE: sentenced to 9 years

    I definitely was not a hippy, but I traveled overland a number of times between Turkey and India in the early 70s. This was the era of the Hippy Trail and when Billy Hayes, of Midnight Express fame, was arrested [and he was carrying hashish not heroin]. There were signs and warnings everywhere...

    Alysa Liu retired in 2022 and is coming back in 2024

    Back during the doping scandal at the Olympics, her dad said he never would have put his daughter in skating if he had known the system could be gamed like it was. Plus he's been targeted by Chinese government agents. Even Alysa, who wasn't told about this before the Olympics, so as not to...

    94th Annual Academy Awards Thread

    Well, that was the worst academy awards program I think I've ever seen.
