What Will's Watching

Number One: Charlton Heston plays Ron 'Cat' Catlan' the past him prime starting quarterback of the New Orleans Saints. It's a period piece now. A fascinating time capsule of 1969. Interestingly, not one reference to the Vietnam War or hippies. Heston has the build of a QB but his on field scenes really aren't convincing, one gets an uncanny valley affect. Heston drives a convertible a lot while wearing aviators and we kept thinking, there's Omega Man. Otherwise Mr. Heston's Catlan is introspective, brooding, arrogant, mean, lonely and selfish as he comes to grips with his career being over.

I have Returned Masalla...oops.

...Sorry. Pharaoh, let my people go!

Happy Charlton Heston Day everyone! The Oldest Daughter was once heard to say, 'But you said Aerial Sharon is the greatest Jew since Charlton Heston!' Indeed and since Moses.

One year the Stroocklette's Hindu friends were watching the Exodus chapter of Netflix's excellent The Bible. One of them remarked, 'Wow! Your god is powerful!' He favorite god is Ganesh. 

Zzzzzzz....crack, BANG!

Ha-ha, the lightening bolt missed and...ZAP! Ouch!

Normally we have Mrs. Stroock's sister and her brood over and we head a table of seven women, but not this year. The Stroocklettes will be helping their mother prepare for our toned down Pass Over.

Will post a pic or two.
