In the mid-1980s, I moved to an area where television reception was almost impossible without cable. Since then (except for a period in the mid-1990s when I spent a lot of time at a friend's place), I have not been much of a TV-watcher. I also haven't been much of a movie-watcher since the 1980s, except for a few years during #sonOne's adolescence, when "weekly Wednesday movie" was a way to guarantee that we spent more time together.
Of course, there are some exceptions. I saw several big name kid movies with #sonTwo and his friends. For a couple of years, we watched Will Smith's then-latest blockbuster on July 4th. I also watched a few movies with my old best friend (now deceased) and his brother.
I spent too much time and energy on work and college / university studies, so I often wasn't really present, even when I was sitting in a theater.
So, for different reasons than @katiekats, I'm not at all familiar with most of the media that most of the people around me (either in the workplace or in the tech world) make reference to.

#GS1 tells me his mobile device is acting up. I respond by saying I just spent all my available funds, so I cannot replace it. I'm waiting for him to lob it back over the net, so I can suggest that he and #sonOne should visit the local store for the cellular carrier and purchase a used phone.
They'll still need to call me (or #sonTwo, since I made him account manager) for approval to change devices on the account, but I'll be glad to do it.

The comment about the library-sponsored 5K run reminds me of the school where #sonTwo and #Daddy_A attended middle and high school. Their students tended to be heavier than the students at other schools in the area, to the point where most kids had food nicknames ("Beans" "Bacon" "Pepperjack" "Cottage Cheese" etc) ... one year, they had a yearlong thing to train students to run in a marathon. (Mine did not participate after I said it was too far a distance in too short of a preparation time.)

#sonTwo and his wife now have electricity. I think the only thing that could make him happier would be if the next year's World Series was a freeway series (Angels vs Dodgers).
-
Me: Which of you guys gets the first #Switch?
#sonOne: Don't buy me that. It costs too much. Buy something for yourself.
#sonTwo: sonOne's birthday is coming. Send it to him.
#Daddy_A: (Has not answered yet.)
See why I like it when I can get something for these guys?

#sonTwo and wife are discovering the 1800s, as they have no electricity, minimal and intermittent cellular service, no Internet due to former #hurricane #Irma
-
#sonTwo drove home from the in-laws, only to discover that their apartment is in a no-electricity zone. Nothing to do but tough it out for a few days.
-
Two million #FL residents without power. Still headed directly for the area where #sonTwo, his wife, his in-laws have hunkered down.
-
TWC: threat of #tornadoes across #Florida today as #hurricane #Irma ascends its Gulf coast.
#sonTwo says his current location (outside of Tampa / St Pete) is under tornado warning now.
-
It looks like #sonTwo is going to contact his mom in advance of the hurricane passing overhead. I think that's another win. (I don't think they've talked in over a decade.)
-
#sonTwo just texted. They've arrived at their place of refuge.
-
@musicman #sonTwo and daughter-in-law both have to work (on site) Thursday and possibly part of Friday. Therefore, they'll be sheltering in place through this event.
-
Update: printer went to #sonTwo's wife, monitor and a generic smartwatch went to #Daddy_A.
-
@fl0wn Thanks. Just called #sonTwo in SoFlo to tell him about that spin-up off of Cuba. @alpacaherder @aarrggghhhh

At #Daddy_A's place in #AZ, it is currently 106°F at 17:00. 78°F in Jefferson City, #MO ( #JCMO ) at 19:00; 75°F in #Baton_Rouge, #LA at 19:00; and 98°F at 17:00 in my #SoCal hometown. At #sonOne's old place in #KS, it is 75°F at 19:00; and at #sonTwo's old place in #FL, it is 89°F at 20:00.
This has been your weather report for the southern half of the country.

It took a lot to motivate it, but #sonTwo announced his intention to return to college. He was about one semester away from a degree, but I don't think he's going to attend the same school or keep the same major.
-
Odd conversation with #sonTwo this morning. We talked about sports: #MLB !baseball (he and his wife watched the Padres vs Marlins game last night), #NFL #gridiron #football; comparative stadium sizes for MLB and NFL, and then promotion / relegation as one finds in #FIFA #soccer #futbol.
Other than baseball, we rarely talk about sports.
-
Reminded #sonTwo to call #Daddy_A for #Baby_A2's birthday. Still at the office, two hours away from the #hotel, cabling the building for an expansion.
-
@lnxw48a1 No news of a due date yet, but #Daddy_A tells me that another baby is on the way. Just a few days ago that I'd send him my monitor when I leave #Louisiana. He told #sonTwo yesterday that his existing monitor had broken. Me: Why don't you guys tell me these things? I failed mindreading.
-
And #sonTwo says about his brother's gift, "I think he already has one."
Me: "I'm sending it anyway."
