Two weeks ago, I discovered one of my fitted bedsheets torn. The Boston Linen percale cotton set, mentioned here, had served in biweekly rotation with a Pinzon percale set from May 2019 to November 2021 and triweekly since then.
I looked to replace it with a second Pinzon percale set since my first is helding strong, but Amazon seems to have discontinued that set. Finding many cotton sheet sets warrantied for two years, I decided on a navy blue Brielle Tencel Modal jersey knit set, having read modal is more durable in bedsheets than cotton.
You may be interested in the difference between the Brielle Tencel modal sheet set and a Brielle Tencel lyocell sheet set I bought in 2021. Tencel modal processing is less eco-friendly than Tencel lyocell's closed-loop, Among modals, however, Tencel is certified sustainably-sourced and uses less energy and water, causing less global warming and eutrophication. The Tencel modal sheet set can be washed in a cold-water normal cycle where the lyocell set specifies a cold-water gentle cycle.

Matthew Perry dies at 54
Posted 1:30 AM by Gerald So
I'm still in denial hours after reading reports FRIENDS star Matthew Perry died today at his Los Angeles home. I had watched Perry before FRIENDS on an 1987 FOX sitcom, SECOND CHANCE. The premise involved an older character played by Kiel Martin who, upon his death, finds himself in limbo, having been not quite good enough to get to heaven. St. Peter grants him the ability to try and influence his teenaged self toward better decisions.
I next watched Perry in an arc on GROWING PAINS, where he played Carol's charming boyfriend Sandy. In the last episode of the arc, coincidentally titled "Second Chance," Sandy has a car accident and vows to lick the drinking problem that caused it. Tragically he doesn't get the chance, dying in the hospital shortly after appearing on the road to recovery.
I wish Perry's death hadn't resembled Sandy's. One bright spot is Perry got to publish his 2022 memoir about trying to overcome addiction, FRIENDS, LOVERS, AND THE BIG TERRIBLE THING. I'll remember him as the actor who got to play Chandler Bing, the enbodiment of 1990s wit, the character who said what we all wish we had.
