He's a very mercurial character, and his default state is acting, not being a cobbler. That's the ccupation he took up during his last retirement. There's less stress in shoe repair than in acting but there's less outlet for your creativity. Maybe he could become a shoe designer, and hand craft select shoes for a select group of customers. I bet that there's a lot of Hollywood stars who would pay top dollar for a Daniel Day shoe to wear on the red carpet.

As Ossoff has blown his lead and voting machines in 2 districts are being examined, your guess is probably better than mine. edutcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033144261502435196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-79091767659782938602017-06-20T20:37:04.827-04:002017-06-20T20:37:04.827-04:00I just checked, neither it nor The Big Lebowski is...I just checked, neither it nor The Big Lebowski is on Netflix streaming.

Their predicto-meter was dead on for nearly every state.
