I have a clock on the wall next to me so, while the tv is muted, I close my eyes and count down the time. My eyes are rested and I celebrate each small victory.

I have an iPad on the couch I use almost exclusively to play Puzzle Page (crosswords, word puzzles other brain teasers). During commercials I pick up the iPad and do that.

I have a little Samsung tablet that I tether to my cell phone. During commercials I surf places like FT86 forums, USA7s or google what ever the wife and I are arguing about at that moment.

Looking forward to both. Looks like Reacher is amping it up a bit, if that were even possible.

The trailer scene with the airbag had me in stitches...don't know if it's possible but I really want it to be...

Ultimately Reacher is the dude that deep down we all want to be when someone/anyone is in destress. Batman without the money, or the suit.

The only way to do this justice as the way Amazon is doing it, a book per series. You can't do these with movie length features and particularly with Tom Cruise as Reacher (Mr. Cruise and I are the same height, I know better). If you haven't read the books and you like this type of action, read them now. Or even better listen to them.

Amazon sure does it right. Cruise doesn't cut it as Reacher lol. I've watched every season of Bosch and don't know if I've ever watched a better drama in my life. Writing, casting and acting are beyond belief.

I hoped that the new season of True Detective was this week. False. Jan 14th.
This week a new session of Fargo though.

I had no idea True Detective was coming back for a fourth season. I’m kinda surprised it wasn’t killed and deleted like half of everything HBO has done. Here’s hoping it reclaims some of the Season 1 magic.

Watched a few childhood favorites that I haven’t seen in probably thirty years. Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971) and The Apple Dumpling Gang (1975). Both by Disney.

Next up Pete's Dragon. The 1977 one not the remake from 2016.
