"The Office" is an American sitcom. References, quite often, made to it. My homemade split pea and ham soup was enjoyed.


 

Aunt, her twenty-something nephew, his grandpa: It’s after dinner as her nephew tells her, “Mom’s making dinner but I’ll have a taste,” A couple bowls later, my nephew and Dad viewing news flashes coming at them like strobe lights: Carter funeral, Trudeau resigns, VP Harris certifies her opponent’s win. Her nephew’s tall stature, shoulders shaking with familiar giggles (he’s moving in a couple days to begin real adulting) and he says, “What is this! I’m going to have to watch the news more often!” It’s begun already, his days of “The Office,” behind Him…no, they’re just beginning.

This is interesting - but it kind of went over my head, even after I searched through it on the internet, but.... I know you always have something to say. :)

Now there are wildfires out West. The hurricane force winds driving them. Thank you, Yann!
