Kevin came home for spring break with two assignments: attend a live poetry event and a live fiction reading event. We went to hear The Moth (an NPR live program) and the readers were doing non-fiction stories about sus, which I thought was suspicion but it turned out to be shady behavior. None of the stories were great but none were terrible either. The audience favored sad stories rather than violent ones. The poetry slam was in Ann Arbor.
Also went to Pompeii: Under the Clouds. Every review was extremely positive but the four of us were a tad bored.
The weather is still ugly mostly.
Watched Michigan beat Arizona. Watched THE PITT, DTF ST LOUIS, THE ROOSTER
Listened to Bill Nighy's podcast "Ill-Advised"
What about you? Is it nice there yet?

I suppose it is nice here, although it seems too warm to me. We are doing pretty well with our yard work out front; we finally pulled out almost all our overgrown Santa Barbara daisies. And have potted some plants, with more to go. April is here and we no longer have cool, overcast skies in the mornings to ease the heat.
I am posting this Sunday night because I don't know when I will get on the computer tomorrow.
We are watching mostly the same shows as usual. We have finished the first season of Grantchester. We may take a break from that to watch another season of Professor T.
Glen is now reading A SHORT HISTORY OF EVERYTHING by Bill Bryson. He has read other books by Bryson and liked them. He says that this one is more variable. It covers a lot of topics and some are better than others.
Before that he read another graphic novel by Mimi Pond, about a woman working at a diner in the 70s. It is a semi-memoir. He gave it 5 stars. I may read it soon.
Last night, I finished reading SOVIET SOURCES, a Cold War spy story set in Russia by Robert Cullen. I liked it a lot. It took a long time to get started, but the more I got into it, the better it was.
Tonight I will start reading DEATH IN A DARKENING MIST by Iona Whishaw, a Canadian author. The setting is British Columbia in 1946.
