please please please let me like this
I really want to like the series Down Cemetery Road on Apple TV. I really do. The series was based on a novel by Mick Herron, who wrote the Slow Horses series of books. I enjoyed those books and enjoyed the very watchable television series that was adapted from the books. The got Emma Thompson Read.

Game Night
Saturday night is game night here at Our Humble O’Bode. Number Two Son typically arrives in the evening, we eat dinner together, and then we set up a game of Spirit Island and play into the night. It’s a game that takes at least two or three hours from start to finish, although sometimes we’re Read.

books galore
“Spook Street” is the fourth novel in the ‘Slow Horses’ series of spy thrillers by Mick Herron. The story circles around David Cartwright, a top-tier spook of the Cold War era, as he slides into senility at about the same time that an unknown agency decides to take him out of the picture.

rhapsodizing
This episode was so much fun. Completely silly. Totally entertaining. Loved nearly every minute. The first song, “Status Report,” was probably the best song: catchiest tune, lyrics that made us want to sing along. We’ve replayed those opening scenes so many times we know it by heart now. Loved the astounded expression on Spock’s face Read.

bleep
This is so stupid. “Bleep” is so stupid. Even though I played it, I still think it’s stupid. I honestly didn’t expect it to work. I played it only because I was trying to get my brain going. I needed to a word, any word, to get some momentum going and I only had one Read.

“How did Tim guess ‘guppy’ on the second try with just one letter?” B wondered aloud in the car on the way home from work today. “Well I guess I won’t be playing Wordle today,” I responded dryly. Read.
