My brother in laws dad was a judge for 30+ years in a southern state.

Never went to law school. Just sat for the BAR exam for the hell of it, passed, and the rest is baffling to me.

Maybe I’ve been lucky but always gotten along with people, been prudent, and never had issues.

Lived in major cities. Been in the military. It’s pretty easy to just be cool.

America’s Test Kitchen. All you need. Recipes for nerds.

I heard one black box where the pilot’s final words were just a very resigned, almost conversational, “Goddamnit.”

Watching it with wife and son. Haven’t seen it in 20 years. Read books as kid.

Only 45 minutes in and we could barely make ourselves stop (bed time).

That said, I never bothered to finish the 3rd book and I don’t remember the 3rd movie. Turned into a typical war film/book from what I recall. Little interest to me.

I hope my memory is wrong.
