Kat gets a haircut and is all “work, work, work.” Mac finishes up the school year, we are STILL looking for a car, and we will soon have two of our sons back in the nest. In preparation for the new Mission Impossible movie coming out, we revisit MI:2, MI:3 and MI:4. Last but not least, a lack of relationship in real life can lead to devastating online consequences (not for us) - no click bait here.

Mac may being going senile, Mother’s Day birdfeedery, and we had an earthquake! On Stranger Tides is a better book than movie, King Lear is better than Katherine expected, and we delve back into Captain America Civil War to revel in the archetypes.
