Two weeks since the last real entry. Shame on me.

“Suicide Squad” is the fifth major superhero movie this year, and the second best. Margot Robie’s Harley Quinn steals every scene she is in, but she was expected to. It has many flaws, but in the end it works.

“Florence Foster Jenkins” tells a bizarre true story with a great deal of humor. It is excellent in all ways, but parts of it are REALLY painful to watch (or rather, to listen to).

The van continues to suck down money, but I think the lid is finally on straight, and we can get on with life. (For the record: Catalytic converters, power steering actuator rack, rear coil springs, and all four tires have been replaced.) And the thing now has a trailer hitch. I have fabricated most of the fiddly bits necessary to mount the canoe (and there are a surprising number of them), and life may now return to some semblance of normal.

I continue to spend my weekends at Bristol, occasionally play PokeGo at Great America, and spend a lot of time wondering what I want to do with myself when I grow up.
