Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Work, Work, Work

     A quick trip to Denver this week...and the Brick will be volunteering a few days for the COS (Convention of the States) during the Colorado State Fair. Plus more work -- and celebrating Daughter #1's belated birthday. I guess we've all been busy.

     At least it's cooling down a bit. I wish our allergies would do the same.



Meanwhile:

A little girl shows a great 'birthday kindness' to an angry woman and her kids.

CU coach Deion Sanders' son is fired. Moral of the story: don't punch your fellow teammate!

There's a new list of banned items for airplane travel  -- oh goody, TSA.

The British royal family's favorite summertime and picnic foods. (Please, Your Highnesses, invite me over!)

Want to grow a tree the dinos snacked on? Here may be your chance...

"What did you eat when you were struggling financially?"  Some interesting Quora answers here.

Ghost stories from night shift workers.

A suprisingly good 1939 Howard Hawks movie: "Only Angels Have Wings." A ton of good character actors, led by Jean Arthur and Cary Grant. You need to see this, if you can. (It's on Tubi's CinemaVault.)


Five masterpieces ripped apart -- then finally reunited.

Ina Garten's tips for kitchen shelf decorating -- not earthshattering, but they are interesting.

Frescoes from the 17th century -- found when kitchen cabinets were replaced!

This lady is griping about the big bucks she had to pay for her weekly/biweekly grocery haul. Take a look at what she bought -- and see if you agree! 

And finally, Bruce Willis in Respect Yourself. This went to #5 on the charts -- and I can see why.


Have a good week.
