If I remember correctly Mark Alt's dad was pushing him hard to take the football route (QB??) and go to iowa. Glad Mark chose the better sport and superior program.

The Day of the Jackal. Fantastic book And movie! I believe the detective in the movie is the villain from Moonraker, the best Bond film . No one with this opinion should have their own cabin. Roger Moore at his very best! @Greyeagle how do you stand for this blasphemy? I blocked him. ;)

We might be related. I remember buying my first DVD player and the movie was on the free ones I received. I obviously already owned it and was still happy, as I could gift my free copy.

I think we got the Bruce Willis The Jackal remake with our DVD player.

If you like Hiassen give Tim Dorsey a try. Serge Storms is a fantastic character!

There is an illustrated version of The DaVinci Code that has pictures of the artwork, buildings, etc. described in the book. While now it's easy to quickly look us this stuff it's still a cook version. It's like a textbook in size but it's a fun way to read it.

Up-to-date info on the state of the disease in Minnesota is now up here: https://mn.gov/covid19/ Martin County jumps out at me. Population of 20,000 has 32 cases. Way out of proportion.

The long suffering Mrs GE and I got through two-thirds of Lawrence of Arabia last night. Interesting but slow story and beautifully shot. Last hour on tap for this evening.

At some point my guess is the needs of the economy will supersede health needs. Which makes testing the critical component.
Probably before mid April is my completely uneducated guess.
