It’s Eric’s birthday along with the Earl of Sandwich and Steve Zayn. Stacy fetes the big day with Nothing Bundt Cakes and kind words; after all, it is World Kindness Day! The latest for Eric is his almost complete deck, the newly installed solar panels, and his (and Gertie’s) medical checkup. Ironically both father and (dog) daughter have high cholesterol for which one of them takes a pill the size of a grain of rice. Eric is healthy otherwise, but Gertie might need a little extra help. Although Eric does need periodontal surgery and in sharing his pre-appointment, he tells the story of how the assistant unceremoniously told him about a booger. He about died from embarrassment. Meanwhile Stacy may have given some rando guy her fries today assuming he is unhoused cringe or kind? For their Cultural Blindspots, both Stacy and Eric watched movies set in November which is rare. Stacy watched “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” while Eric revisited the “Back to The Future” trilogy the first of which is celebrating its’ 40th Anniversary! Eric also recommended the “Death by Lightening” series about James Garfield; arguably a period in history that is also a blind spot. The episode ends with the common theoretical question, “What 3 things would we take on a deserted island?” Clearly Eric is more hopeful with his choices, Stacy’s eating chicken.
