Hero or Villain

At this point, the biopic of Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr. would have to be a trilogy, wouldn't it? Or maybe a long-form, 12-part series on HBO Max.

How many Brady's are we going to need? Childhood Brady, Michigan Brady, First 3 Super Bowls Brady, Wandering the Wilderness (the two losses to the Giants) Brady, the Paterfamilias (and 4 more Super Bowl wins) Brady.

Luckily, Hollywood is full of handsome men of all ages.

My wife and I will get our second dose of the Moderna vaccine today.

 I was a child adding machine.
