    Reality TV

    It's unfortunate. Probably put the weight on because he was bullied throughout childhood, assuming his cross-dressing isn't anything new. Turned to food as comfort. Admittedly, first time watching Big Brother 'anything' (UK, U.S., Canada), but actually know one of the U.K. house members, so a good reason to try it out. Noticeable time commitment.

    Yes, that's one old timer and one who I'd like to think wasn't an old timer, but did retire 30 years ago. Don't know where the time goes.

    Broadway - "the Great White Way"

    I whiffed. Golf was never my game. My father is a left handed golf shot so I could never borrow his clubs. Never even registered the 'Come and Gone' title was as ripe for commentary as it was. Will stop and smell the (dead) flowers next time.
