Saw Wake Up Dead Man, (slept through some of it) and Eternity (same). Enjoyed seeing Kevin and celebrating his turning 19. He is taking quite a group of classes next semester. One in music, one in art, one in writing, one in philosophy and one in math. He's trying out all the family businesses.
Saw the movie Lurker, which was strange but interesting. (Apple)
Trying to settle into a book. Maybe THE COPENHAGEN TRILOGY. Or A Pale View of Hills.
Watched a Poirot-- FIVE LITTLE PIGS, which is one of my favorites and so beautifully made. Also watching the many episodes of THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY on Disney. Also watched Sad Cypress. What's your favorite Christie.
Snow here. Ugh.
What about you?
Apparently sending out three group emails with 20 names on each has meant friends are getting things from other friends and not knowing what is going on. Sorry if you've had that happen.

I'll wait until WAKE UP DEAD MAN reaches Netflix in a couple of weeks. It's getting mixed reviews.
Diane, Patrick, and Katie are taking a cruise in the Caribbean. I'm home getting caught up on reading and writing. And, yearly doctor appointments: dermatology and urology.
Western NY got hit with snow, too. The ski areas south of Buffalo are celebrating the foot of snow that fell on them. I live north of Buffalo and we only got a couple inches of snow. But, it's windy and cold. Stay safe!
We were fine up until November, but that turned much colder and was a pretty miserable month, and December doesn't look any better so far. We're staying in more and more on these cold, windy days. It's good beef stew weather, so Jackie is going to make it today to have twice this week. We're supposed to fly to Phoenix on Saturday to visit my sister in Scottsdale (who is doing better, medically), but keep your fingers crossed on the weather, because it could get ugly.
We finished the third series (two to come, eventually) of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS, and found it good but uneven, with a few episodes (a singing Spock, for one) that didn't work. We're on the final, nasty series (#5) of BREAKING BAD. We're almost done with the Spanish BREATHLESS (also on Netflix), the medical show set in Valencia where a lot happens every episode. And we discovered a new medical show that might be on Apple+, BERLIN ER, a head-spinningly fast, dark show, based on the first episode.
We finally got (on AMC+) the third series of the Aussie political drama TOTAL CONTROL, but I find the workings of the Australian Parliament incomprehensible. One of the characters in that is played by a guy who also plays a doctor in RDFS (Royal Doctors Flying Service), the third series of which just started on Acorn with a great first episode. They fly small planes into the Outback to treat people in isolated areas. Jackie definitely does NOT like SEVERANCE after a second try (also Apple). We finished the first series of MADEMOISELLE HOLMES. I know there is a second. We still haven't started SLOW HORSES yet - we're trying to finish shows we're in the middle of first - but I did read the collection of related novellas, STANDING BY THE WALL (by Mick Herron). There are other new series of previously watched shows - LANDMAN, BLUE LIGHTS - where we are waiting for all the episodes before we start watching.
