February 5, 2016--Too Much

I was up so late last night watching the Democratic debate and listening in on the post-debate instant analysis that I didn't have the time or energy this morning to get much blogging done.

(I thought Bernie Sanders handily won the first hour, which was devoted to domestic issues and Hillary the second when they turned to foreign affairs. None of this surprising. He needs to bone up more about what he would do in the world if elected. He's not ready to be commander in chief. I hope this doesn't come off as sexist, but Clinton has to stop shouting. It hurts her "likability." A real problem.)

Also, earlier in the day we went to the movies to see 45 Years. It includes about the best final scene ever and two astonishing performances. A great anatomy of a long relationship.

After that we watched the latest episode of Billions. It's a soap opera and not a very good one at that, full of anti-Wall Street clichés. We may pull the plug on it.

And later today, we will take a look at The People v. O.J. Simpson.

Then there's the Super Bowl and . . .

It's been that kind of last few days.
