- I’m not a very smart man. I heard a radio personality refer to a feral cat as a Tom cat and then I finally put together that’s how Tom in the ‘Tom and Jerry’ cartoons got his name. Per Tom’s Wikipedia page, his original name was Jasper. Jerry’s Wikipedia page states his original name was Jinx.
- I checked out our new Winco and I was quite impressed with the prices, selections, and layout.
- WifeGeeding contested our property tax assessment and got just a little over $22,400 knocked off. Why more home owners don’t even try to do this I don’t know, especially when most counties allow you to do it online.
- Last night’s ‘Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ had some freaking finger torture, but they did have a nice hat-tip towards ‘Breaking Bad’.
- Loyal reader RPM has a great ‘Mad Men’ theory for Pete and his family – I have heard an alternate ending for Pete and unfortunately it makes a lot of sense. Things went too good, too fast for Pete. He gets a dream job, reunites with Trudy and Tammy and gets his own private jet. Remember his Mom was killed on her “dream cruise” with Manolo and his Father was killed in a plane crash. I’m afraid Pete, Trudy & Tammy die in a plane crash on the way to Omaha.

Masterclass offers online lessons with the super famous

If you wanted, say, acting lessons from Dustin Hoffman, you’d probably have to write a check that’s bigger than the Empire State Building to make it happen. That’s why Masterclass has such an appealing idea, a video-based tutorial site where, unlike those videos on YouTube, the teachers are the best in their field. In addition to acting classes taken by Hoffman, users can opt for tennis coaching from Serena Williams or photography lessons from Annie Leibovitz.
Each Masterclass costs $90, and for that you’ll get up to three hours of video-based lessons as well as a series of interactive exercises to carry out.
