I haven't seen it yet, so I can't help with the plot holes. I can, however, amuse you by confessing that I mentally plugged in Clint Howard rather than Eastwood where you mentioned "Clint." It wasn't until I re-read your post a couple of times that I made the right connection.

Hey, it's sorta late and I just got home from a 2-week trip to Dallas. Can I be forgiven?

How was Dallas? Was it for work or a vacation? I hope that it was fun...

You are forgiven for seeing Clint Howard in everything.

Dallas was OK, but it was just work, work, work, work, work. I'm just now getting back into the swing of things at home.

Thank goodness that there are always so many helpful Clint Howards around to help me get matters in proper order.
