A friend sent me this, and I pass it on:
A Keeper
Their marriage was good, their dreams focused.
Their best friends lived barely a wave away.
I can see them now, Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress, lawn mower in one hand, and dish-towel in the other.
It was the time for fixing things.
A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress.
Things we keep.
It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy.
All that re-fixing, eating, renewing,
I wanted just once to be wasteful.
Waste meant affluence.
Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more.
But then my mother died, and on that clear summer's night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more.
Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away...never to return.
So... While we have it... it's best we love it...
And care for it.... And fix it when it's broken.....
And heal it when it's sick.
This is true...
For marriage....
And old cars....
And children with bad report cards.....
Dogs and cats with bad hips....
And aging parents....
And grandparents.
We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.
Some things we keep.
Like a best friend that moved away or a classmate we grew up with.
There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special....
And so, we keep them close!
I received this from someone who thinks I am a 'keeper', so I've sent it to the people I think of in the same way...
Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there
People are made to be Loved and Things are made to be Used
There is so much confusion in this World because people are being Used and Things are being Loved.
Be kind... everyone you meet is fighting a terrible battle.
Thanks for being part of MY life!

It was a sheer delight.

Have you watched the original?
I haven't--and I'm trying to figure out whether I should bother.

I did watch the original, which was a lot of fun and very creative, until it became too self-absorbed.
This "sequel" appears to be trying to match the weirdness of the original, but without the creativity -- it looks like typical hollywood-trying-to-be-surreal pap, which never works.
Take a look at the first ep for yourself (tastes vary), but don't expect anything more than "Ooh, we're being really mysterious, because we haven't really figured out what we're going to do with the story, yet, and we can't do anything concrete until we've had a look at the ratings and imdb comments".
Better to find a copy of the original, and watch that, if you haven't already.

Shame - I was looking forward to it, but maybe better I approached with low expectations

If you date a girl and it turns out she's an Apiarist, is she a keeper?

She better be.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Ahh... that makes me wax nostalgic of all the great puns you've posted over the years.

Not if all she has are bee stings.

In that case she can buzz off?

Two bees or not two bees; that is the question!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If she is you'd better comb your hair and treat her like a queen.

No, it means she's a patient of mine and I'm not overly enthralled by the way the new scaffold for the stem-cell ear I'm constructing for her in my laboratory is turning out so I need to see her again so we can restart the culture.
