This one really hits home now for being way to on the money:

I did just get a handicapper general tshirt not long ago.

Read it! 5 minutes...

 

My 11yr old has probably watched Ferris Bueller about a dozen times. Hes like 11 going on 25. Mature but funny.
We've seen some of those but will definitely add to the list.

 

BOOKS, people.
BOOKS!

 

Good luck. You should be happy they have moved on to their favorite rock band yet.

 

Metallica up to And Justice For All, duh!

 

I used to show Ferris Buehler in my middle school science classes to help teach problem solving in complex situations.

 

Your moms a hoe

 

I have not but will add it to my list of next books! I am really trying to read every night before bed as a habit because I feel myself revolving completely around devices with screens. I can sometimes feel myself getting stupider

 

I have a hard time with reading fiction but give me hard information like Peter Zeihan and I can sit there for hours downloading. With fiction I have to listen to it in audio format

 

Missing Apollo 13 for movies!

Books:
Travels with Charley
Death in the long grass
Atomic Habits
Topgun - Pederson
One minute to midnight
The Big Burn
The Push - Tommy Caldwell
A lonely kind of war
Scream of Eagles
The 13th Valley
The Five Fingers
Under and Alone

 

On a John Grisham binge lately. Just finished A Time To Kill.

He went way too heavy on the N word, but a decent read from a different time.

 

The Mr Mercedes books from Stephen King currently. Love his work.

 

Tobacco Road written by Erskine Caldwell is a fun and fantastic read and for a added bonus try to view the motion picture as the movie is almost as good .

 

Your Dog is Your Mirror - Kevin Behan
Tough read and took forever to get thru the 1st 50 pages but it seems to be picking up pace and pulling me in more.

 

I just finished 'The Wright Brothers' by David McCullough. If you like history, a good book and learned stuff I didn't know about the whole beginning of flight.

 

Been on a Nelson DeMille kick lately, started from the beginning and on his fourth book now.

 

Currently reading "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee." Quite sobering.
