Hello, Rod!

[Rodzinski]

Hiya, G Baby!

[George]

How was your evening?

[Rodzinski]

G Baby was a character in a movie where Keanu Reaves coached a kids baseball team.

[George]

I lost two games of Phase 20 10 tonight!

<SPOO!! Post corrected!>

Nice.

[Rodzinski]

My evening was pleasant. A nice dinner nearby, just the family. Then I crashed. Then the kids and I watched Lego Masters Australia. Now everyone is asleep but me.

[Rodzinski]

You asked about some card games I mentioned the other day.
Pay Me is a rummy style game where you try to be the first to meld all the cards you have and stick everyone else with a lot of points. The game starts with 3 cards dealt, next hand is 4 etc.

[Rodzinski]

Hand and Foot is most fun as a partners game. You have two decks dealt to you. The hand and the foot. You can’t play the foot till you play all the cards in your hand. You have to make a series of dirty and clean (no wild) canastas before your opponents do. Much fun.

[Rodzinski]

Much merriment, in fact.

[George]

I saw a woman at the market today wearing a big embossed t hat 

That can be very upsetting, Jane... maybe you need to get something like this hat:

[Rodzinski]

Phase 20? That’s 10 more than I’ve ever played.

SPOO!!  I corrected my post. I blame my new phone!!

[George]

Last night I stupidly let my iPhone update to the iOS 26.2.  Now I can't send a new text message to more than one person.

A search tells me it is a known bug.

Darn.

[Rodzinski]

I thought there had been a sequel!

[George]

Some of you may know who my friend Kurt Gänzl is. When I first met him in the 1990s at The Drama Book Shop, he was a London-based writer and leading operetta/British musical theatre historian whose books I really treasure. Now he is retired and living in New Zealand with his partner and cats. He just sent me this review of Annabelle & Thatch:

Very cool, Larry!!

[Rodzinski]

We need more phases!

[George]

I thought there had been a sequel!

Not that I know of...but if there ever is, I'd try it.

[George]

My iPhone texting problem has been solved

Yay!!

[Rodzinski]

I’m watching The Zany Adventures of Robin Hood on YouTube, stars George Segal, Roddy McDowall, and Morgan Fairchild. Haven’t seen it since it aired as a TV movie way back when.

[George]

I was reading the various problems people are having with this update.  Complete conversations missing and not being able to text with android users. 

What??

[George]

I'd read that messages between iPhones and Android phones couldn't be end-to-end encrypted, but not that they couldn't happen!

[George]

Looking closer I discovered a little box for new messages (like when you are emailing) vs it telling me where to type a new message. 

What a relief that I found it.

Whew!!

[George]

I have an interview on Jan. 28 for the community supervision officer position, aka parole officer.

Good luck, John!

[George]

Keith got Wordle in three.

Congrats to Keith!
