Real Time: Quarantine Version

We're watching The Princess Bride right now. We all simultaneously burst into laughter at a line that normally doesn't even make us grin.

Let's see if you can figure out what part was so funny.
Fezzik and The Man in Black are facing each other in a showdown...

 Fezzik: "Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned with acid or something like that?"

Westley: "Oh no. It’s just that they’re terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future."

Voting Booth Now Open

I am this close to painting our house midnight blue. The house inspector told us 10 years ago that the board and batten needed to be sealed, so I suppose it's about time.

My children have mixed opinions. John, predictably, tells me to do what I wish. (It would take him about a year to notice the color change, anyway.)

Here's the shade.The other option preferred by a vocal child who does not like change is a transparent seal. Now cast your Very Important Vote.
