Kolek planning to go pro
I figure since we were supposed to be on our spring break cruise today, tonight's cultural education for my kids was .. Titanic.
Ozark Season 3 is excellent as is the entire series.
The actress who plays Jason Bateman’s wife (Laura Linney) is married to Marc Schauer who lived on my floor freshman year at McCormick.He left after sophomore year but we reconnected through social media. Even freshman year he showed signs of being a legendary swordsman.
Interesting. I am mostly familiar with Linney's work from "Breach" "Absolute Power" and "Primal Fear" all good films in addition to Ozark.It's interesting for me because in a past life, we had a house on the Lake (People just say "Lake" as in are you going to the Lake this weekend when referring to Lake of The Ozarks). So I am familiar with much of the inside lingo such as "Party Cove" which is a real place on the Lake that can get pretty raucous, and where clothing is sometimes optional. ...or when they mention names of buildings, places, or even drop unique references from Stl or KC or wherever. .Once I heard the name of the show, location, plot, Jason Bateman, etc...it was a pretty easy no brainer for mer to give it a try.Much of the show is filmed in Georgia for tax breaks where they try to replicate some of the coves, bluffs, and serpentine shapes. I know the journalist Bill Geist recently wrote a book about his childhood spending his summers there at the working at the Lake. But I haven't read it yet.
Pretty sure party cove is gone, after they banned the big houseboats.
It technically never closed but it isn't the same. Peak times were the 80's, 90's, and even 00's. Many things changed. Similar to college campuses that are less catered to dozens of bars, the environment there is catered to a different crowd. Some incidents, a few drownings, boating accidents, increased Missouri Water Patrol presence etc...changed some things and shifted towards waterfront bars and restaurants. It's no longer thousands of boats, but more like a few hundred or more. It's no longer the Wild West and much more diverse with age, interests, industry etc...
Curious, if ya don’t mind me asking what year? And how he met her? I went to high school with Isabella Hoffman who Was on dear john, criminal minds among other stuff had a kid with Daniel Baldwin. Her mom has been a patient of mine for many years. She still has this thick German accent(mom) Isabella was a knockout in high school and still looks pretty good today
There’s a massive CLE conference every year in Lake of the Ozarks. Nothing like thousands of attorneys coming in to kill off all of the fun.
You guys big into REO?
We started, The Plot Against America, on Monday. I feel like this show is going to be a slow burn. I like it so far, but it may not take off with a lot of people due to the pacing. For the record, I loved Boardwalk Empire, but it also suffered from pacing for a lot of people.
"The Two Popes"It was good.
It’s on my list. Hadn’t had any feedback yet, so this is good to hear.

I'm bored, so I'm watching ESPN!
