“There are only three kinds of pundits: Those who can count, and those who can’t.”

Is TV Great or What!
When I was a little girl my pops took me and my sister to see a Benji movie. Don’t remember which one. We loved Benji. At the end of our row was an older gentleman and his wife. I’d guess they were in their 60s but I was, like, 8 so [...]
