   Could George Plimpton touch his toes? He played for the Lions and Colts. . . .

   Before the pandemic there was an eclectic seminar series held Fridays at noon at a local college; free submarine sandwiches were served. One Friday in Passover a member of our group of retirees – active in his Conservative synagogue – brought along matzoh to replace the bread in the sub he ate that day. The fact that his chosen sub was ham-and-cheese doesn’t seem to have been a problem (except for the ribbing he got from us at the time).

   In the late 1970s there was a local pizza shop in Champaign-Urbana (IL) that outfitted their delivery fleet with red AMC Pacers. With a green plastic “stem” on the top of each one. That lit up at night. (They also flew a hot-air balloon shaped like a tomato.)

   Either Janis came into the bathroom on her knees or that’s a disfunctionally-tall sink.

   One of our cats is especially fond of the bathtub.

   Apparently he learned nothing from last year’s “drive on the left like the Irish” promotion.

   Posting was to comp dot risks – it appears GoComics won’t accept two words connected by a period.

    Here’s an observation I posted to back in 1988:

    I glanced at my digital watch on Tuesday and saw that it was incorrectly displaying March 2 as the date, so Ireset it. But all day Monday it had been, presumably, incorrectly displaying March 1; why had I not noticed the error earlier?

    I believe the reason is that I knew Monday was “leap year day” and never needed my watch to tell me it was February 29. I doubtless checked the time on numerous occasions without “seeing” the incorrect date, even though it is continuously displayed.

    But despite “knowing” it was leap year day I never thought to reset my watch!
