I’m stuck in the rehab facility where my wife is, and her roommate is watching “The Young and the Restless.” So far I haven’t seen any characters I would classify as “young.” But I guess “The Middle-Aged and the Restless” isn’t very catchy.

I’m happy to report that there are no Sinclair stations in Massachusetts. There are, however, two Nexstar stations in Springfield, though neither is an ABC affiliate. They are WWLP (channel 22) and its repeater station WFXQ-CD (channel 28.)

On talk shows, if they're doing any sort of educational interview, every question asked is followed by the expert saying, "That's a great question."
Just once I'd like to hear them say "What a dumb question!"
They can't all be great questions.

Just so you know, if you're a drug supplier account, I won't follow you back and you'll probably be blocked. Nothing against what you do, I'm just not interested. Same if you have a pretty girl profile pic and no posts of your own. Because if I follow you back, that "hello" DM will soon follow.
