I sometimes think about an implication of THE ONE - that as people age and die there will always be a last one of a person in some universe. Imagine how weird it would be to have an ancient elder suddenly gain immense power.

I realized this evening that I had forgotten to check that all episodes of a series on Prime were available. I got to the end of the last show and saw that there are more episodes coming. Ugh. At least Netflix gives you the total count up front. How did we ever live in the days before streaming?

Being inherently lazy, I would come up with a story about wanting to reduce my power consumption at Christmas, so I combined a festive appearance with an unadorned appearance to remind us of the joy of nature. Complete BS, but might persuade those around you.
