This reminds me ...

I wonder if you know my cousin, who is a New York Supreme Court Judge, in Buffalo.

Probably.  Send me a message with the name.

So tonight I'm experimenting with making fake Latin-sounding phrases with some real Latin words.

For example:

Pax et Coolio.

Madonna, frito con dies.

Ave Mogilny.

Do we remember when sleep was a thing?

I think that's Van Morrison.  

Sha la la la la or something.

I'm up at all hours.  Retirement messed up my sleep patterns.  I'm usually up from 1am till about 6am.  Sleep till noon.  Maybe take a pregame nap (got to be fresh for the games).  Since I've got nothing to do and all day to do it, it's not really been a problem.

Insomnia...

Insomnia...

You border on the Adriatic.

Your land is mostly mountainous,

And your chief export is chrome.

Key episodes (my favorites):  The one where they play the poker game in house, the one where Norm has to fire people, and the one where Carla assaults the Yankee fan.

Or anything else involving Coach.

The squeaky shoes episode and the episode where Cliff is given a shocker for impulse control.

Are these Kirstie Alley eps?  Because I don't remember them and I also don't watch Kirstie Alley eps.

I slept like a baby last night for the first time since I was a baby.

In bed at mid-night and did not move until noon.  12 hours ... sorry @Eleven

I don't think so.  But it's been a long time.

The poker game with the grifter is one of my favorite episodes yet. So many shows have followed that format for an episode it’s unbelievable. It took me one season to realize its one of the greatest sitcoms ever made. I’m about halfway through season four now and while it’s slowed down, it’s still of exceptional quality.

Again.  

All week long.

I'm even cooking right now so I can eat something heavy.

Worse yet, I'm even responding to PA hot takes.

Ugh; on a Friday I normally wouldn't mind, but I have somewhere to be early tomorrow.

Religious ceremony? You need maybe 4 hours sleep for those.

And you can be hung over.

Need more than that, and no, I can't be. I'm a mess when hungover, which is why I don't get there anymore.  Sux.

I think I may try to find a documentary on the Ted Sator years.  That may help with sleep.

Some other strong ones not yet mentioned: The Postman's Ball episode where Carla convinces Cliff to sing "Misty," Cliff going on Jeopardy, Sammy's "I on Sports," & Rebecca going to the clinic to stop smoking.

The Dianne episodes are the best, but the early Rebecca episodes and the final season are also really strong.  There was a real lull in quality ~ season 9 but the last season was great.  Woody running for office and the crew taking Cliff's mom's car to the Drive In were great.

SOOOOO many great episodes.

That is the best episode.
