So I made the joke about walking barefoot on the rug and half the people got it and the other half are people who have never seen Die Hard

Never saw Die Hard, but just finished Hillary Mantel's Tudor trilogy, and am working my way through Wolf Hall. Heads fall into baskets at the whim of an obese red-haired misogynist money-grubbing king determined to have the power of the pope, sound familiar?

Welcome to late middle age, when half the people you talk to don't share the same cultural references. Fortunately we raised our boys on a steady stream of old movie quotes and Looney Tunes.

Funny how life is divided along clear lines. Those who have watched Die Hard and those who have not is one of those lines. Normally, I watch once a year around the holidays. Lately, I haven't watched as it makes me sad to think about Bruce Willis.
