😊 Sounds like you are still having a great time! Sleep? We don't need no stinking sleep! (Okay, I'm paraphrasing. 😉)

Brolin is not before my time. I watched Hotel avidly when it was first run. Baxter, from Hotel, is not before my time either, though I liked her much better later in life. They just don't make actresses quite like that anymore. Big fan of Selecca's (also in Hotel)...ever since The Greatest American Hero. Never cared for SNL. I always preferred Laugh In in syndication to SNL first run. I do like some of the SNL players over its history...like Chevy Chase. Not a big fan of Faye or Polder. I have loved Pullman ever since he became an actor. I have loved Bean ever since I saw him in Patriot Games.

I say "by accident". I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it the other way but I can't be sure. It could be generational. It could be peer related, which could be geographical or generational. Or it could just be something your niece says. Kids do come up with some original stuff. Being a northerner living in the sunny south, I come across a lot of geographical differences. Like pecan...in the south it is pi-ˈkän, which I've heard is considered the correct way...one would imagine that Georgia, being the world's largest producer of them, would be an authority 😉. In the north it is ˈpē-kan, which is how I grew up pronouncing it and is also the British way of saying it. Go figure. 👀
