Seen any good movies lately?

If you like beards, or even if you don’t much care for beards, (but it will help to have some tolerance for them), I highly recommend Death By Lightning on Netflix.  It tells the improbable tale of James Garfield’s rapid ascension to the Presidency.  He’s not an historical figure I was familiar with, or details of that time period in American history other than cowboys.  No Wild West here, it’s mostly eastern politics.  The Republican Party had become weary of a vast corruption within its ranks, and decided a change was due.  Garfield is portrayed as a kind and caring man, someone who puts the good in the good old days. Based on real events, mostly, and surprisingly more humorous than I expected, but in a sly manner.  Stars Bradley Whitford and Nick Offerman.

There’s woodworking too but for some reason not by Nick Offerman’s character.  Although he must have consulted, as the hand planing looked authentic.
