This is how I, too, arrive at and depart from all airports.

And who doesn't demonstrate their ability to dance a jig and pat themselves on the head simultaneously whilst waiting for a taxi?

1969 was a super year for both smoking AND hats.

We all, obviously, know loads about Helen Mirren, but Eric Porter was a reasonably successful British actor who unfortunately died of colon cancer in 1995\. [His Wiki has a fat paragraph about his personal life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric%5FPorter?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which is a good goal for all of us, and which has an internal argument about whether or not he was gay. No matter what, he had snappy taste in scarves.

There is something comforting about how Helen Mirren has looked like Helen Mirren for more than fifty years.
