Hide and Seek

Back to the Future
There's nothing new under the sun (or in front of it, if you include Monday's total eclipse.) There are, however, new ways of seeing old things. "the species that survives is the one that is able to adapt to and to adjust best to the changing environment in which it finds itself" ~Leon C. Megginson

Discussion: The Last Word (2017)
I'd probably watch any Shirley MacLaine movie and while I was online tearing up folks' safe spaces today, I found "The Last Word" .

The world is my stage; spotlight in the sun. Pictured in the theatre, a life lived in acts.
Oh Stewardess: Expiring Hotel Reward Points
Heads up! Choice hotels sent notice that my rewards points are set expire. I hate to lose anything so it sent me into a panic. OK, I'm exaggerating.
