Where in the World is Bob Saget?

Canadian man has set two world records as a masters swimmer and he did it all at the age of 104!

I'm only a few episode into the 1st season. So instead I watched that new show with Matthew McConaughey.

And Woody Harrelson?
Hubby watched it too. Then some potty-mouthed show with Kristen Bell.
I don't really watch. Just listen while I play on the iPad.

I got Seasons 1-3 for Christmas. Need to watch them first.

Spoiler alert: They do things in funny British accents.

Anyone watch Sherlock?

I saw him on the news the other night.
He joked that there's not a lot of competition in his age group.
Good for him!

Sounds like trains are zooming by outside. The drifts are massive, and it probably doesn't help that we are on a hill with almost nothing around us.

It is horrible here, the evening dumped just another inch of snow but it was enough to make it impossible to see across the road. It is going to be a-hell-of a 3 days come'n up.

Anyone watch Sherlock?

No, but we have a Canadian series called "Murdoch Mysteries" which is outstanding!

Anyone watch Sherlock?

Not enough rhubarb for me.

Highclere Castle is owned by the Carnarvon family - the dude who paid for the King Tut expedition.
Wonder if it's cursed (different than haunted, but not mutually exclusive) by the same curse that struck down so many associated with Tut?

Most schools have called off around here, but the college has yet to close. If they do, it probably wouldn't be until morning, which still results in me getting up early.

Our schools are closed around here for tomorrow, would not be surprised if they were closed on Tuesday too, just too cold to be waiting for school buses and with the temperature dropping who knows if the buses could make it back, always the biggest worry for administrators.

I feel for the staff at Universities with their late calls. The staff has to make arrangements for their kids if their schools are closed until the University Administrators finally make a decision.

Yep, that's what I watched. McConaughey is really good in his part. Woody's character needs to someone to punch him.

I put on that Kristen Bell show just because the Grammy's had a country performance. She deserves a better show.

But wasn't the curse from entering the tomb?

That is on my list after I finish Dowton Abbey...

Most. Not all.
From Wikipedia, so take it with a grain of salt:

Deaths popularly attributed to Tutankhamun's "curse"[edit]
The tomb was opened on 29 November 1922.

• Lord Carnarvon, financial backer of the excavation team who was present at the tomb's opening, died on 5 April 1923 after a mosquito bite became infected; he died 4 months and 7 days after the opening of the tomb.[21][22]
• George Jay Gould I, a visitor to the tomb, died in the French Riviera on 16 May 1923 after he developed a fever following his visit.[23]
• Prince Ali Kamel Fahmy Bey of Egypt died 10 July 1923: shot dead by his wife.
• Colonel The Hon. Aubrey Herbert, MP, Carnarvon's half-brother, became nearly blind and died on 26 September 1923 from blood poisoning related to a dental procedure intended to restore his eyesight.
• Sir Archibald Douglas-Reid, a radiologist who x-rayed Tutankhamun's mummy, died on 15 January 1924 from a mysterious illness.
• Sir Lee Stack, Governor-General of Sudan, died on 19 November 1924: assassinated while driving through Cairo.
• A. C. Mace, a member of Carter's excavation team, died in 1928 from arsenic poisoning[24]
• The Hon. Mervyn Herbert, Carnarvon's half brother and the aforementioned Aubrey Herbert's full brother, died on 26 May 1929, reportedly from "malarial pneumonia".
• Captain The Hon. Richard Bethell, Carter's personal secretary, died on 15 November 1929: found smothered in his bed.
• Richard Luttrell Pilkington Bethell, 3rd Baron Westbury, father of the above, died on 20 February 1930; he supposedly threw himself off his seventh floor apartment.
• Howard Carter opened the tomb on 16 February 1923, and died well over a decade later on 2 March 1939; however, some have still attributed his death to the "curse".[18]

Just heard nearly every road in and out of town has been closed due to white-out conditions. Life-threatening temps expected tomorrow, with frostbite possible in just 10 minutes of being outside. Let my dog out for about 30 seconds, and when she came back in her sweater was soaked from all the blowing snow.

 

[Gabe1]

That is on my list after I finish Dowton Abbey...

My master plan is when the series seasons come to an end this spring I'm going to have A Dowton Abbey marathon.

You'll love it!

Smoky Robinson and Steven Tyler on stage together .... Scary.

Smoky really needs to lay off the plastic surgery. He looks like Bruce Jenner's brother from another mother.
Steven just looks ... odd.
