In the category of "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!", there's news this morning that NBC is going to remake one of it's most classic series, the Rockford Files. And not only that, it is going to star Dermot Mulroney. SERIOUSLY? One of the most iconic TV roles of the 70's is supposed to be remade and be played by Dermot Mulroney?

And now they want to replace the manliest of roles and actors with Dermot Mulroney? Rockford's Dad, Rocky (a.k.a. Noah Beery, Jr.) must be turning over in his grave.
If you've been watching Netflix much lately, you've probably seen the new series "Tidying Up", with Marie Kondo.

Whatever didn't bring me joy or a happy memory went into the pile. And when all was said and done, I ended up taking an entire car full of stuff to the local Deseret Industries, to hopefully be re-purposed for someone else to find
