While flipping through the several hundred available channels on ROKU last evening, I came across reruns of "Major Dad". This was our family favorite because when it first aired, I WAS a Major and a dad. 

Most worries are reruns.

First lawn mowing of the year.  Back still good: achy not painful. Had to get a new battery for the mower.

Scientists have found a way to keep middle-aged female mice from going through menopause. Now they're working on a way to keep middle-aged male mice from buying expensive sports cars.
