It's the original 'King Kong' and 'The Producers' so I'm leaning towards TCM.

To enjoy some low-impact exercise in the warm pool.

I improve myself while not getting agitated watching Trump, who will be replayed over and over and over and . . . .

You want something shorter?

OK how about this-

Start at 20:00 Crank your speakers up. If this doesn't lift you right out of your chair you are dead meat.

I can't go cuz I got a sore throat.

I'll balance my time between Netflix, FB and DU.

My husband would watch it, but he is out of town.
Wouldn't want to watch that scary movie alone!

To clarify, nothing would be a suitable alternative.

That didn't work, let me try again.

Anything at all, even if it is nothing, would be a good alternative.

It will match the other sock I finished Sunday. I just made a cup of tea and my dog is sitting next to me. The cat is on the table.

We're going to have a fine evening.

and I will personally be watching the gold medal finale of "Chopped" but there are so many more. For instance, my son and his wife do not have cable and have no idea the catastrophe they are missing - and don't care. Damn, they might actually be eating together or talking or God-forbid making love.

The rhythm section has formed another band and their first cd drops in March but you can hear the first song now. It's instrumental and pretty good.
