My rating: 3 of 5 stars I watched the Netflix series and, while it took a bit of time to really get into it, I ended up enjoying it and am looking forward to the second season (whenever we can get it). I decided I should check out the books, as well, since it looks … Continue reading Friday Review: The Last Wish (The Witcher #0.5) by Andrzej Sapkowski

Monday Musings: Rain, Rain, Go Away
So, it's like day 4,732,356 of the Quarantimes, isn't it? I don't know, I have lost count. I'm lucky if I can remember what day of the week it is. Who am I kidding? Most days, I have to look at the day/date on the computer to know. Are they running together for you, too? … Continue reading Monday Musings: Rain, Rain, Go Away

Monday Musings: It’s Spring Again!
After snow two days last week, a bit of warmer weather has returned. The dogwood in front of our townhouse is blooming nicely, and the daffodils are blooming. Let's hope it stays around this time! We are still under the stay at home restrictions due the COVID-19 pandemic. I realize people are getting antsy and … Continue reading Monday Musings: It’s Spring Again!

Friday Review: Bearers of the Black Staff (Genesis of Shannara #1) by Terry Brooks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars With the last of the Shannara novels slated to land this fall, I decided I should probably try to catch up on the series.

This is the first in … Continue reading Friday Review: Bearers of the Black Staff (Genesis of Shannara #1) by Terry Brooks

Friday Review: Unf*ck Yourself: Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Life by Gary John Bishop (Audiobook)
My rating: 3 of 5 stars Okay, so this book isn't going to provide much in the way of new and brilliant insights into the ways we can defeat our own selves when we get stuck in a familiar mindset. If you look closely, each of the seven chapter headings/affirmations here are things that we … Continue reading Friday Review: Unf*ck Yourself: Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Life by Gary John Bishop (Audiobook)

And Just Like That-
I'm 65. Funny, it doesn't feel much different than 64. And even under the coronavirus (or coybote virus, as Lambeau sees it) restrictions, it won't be different than any other birthday. The BaldMan made my birthday dinner on Sunday. (Scampi, if you are interested.) Since his birthday is at the end of the week, and … Continue reading And Just Like That-

Monday Musings: Checkin’ In
Another week, and we are still on lockdown. Most of the medical experts are saying that, here in the US, we should hit the surge for the COVID-19 infections in the next two weeks. We are being strongly urged to stay even more isolated than before. Which means the recommendation right now is that, for … Continue reading Monday Musings: Checkin’ In

Monday Musings: Goin’ Nowhere
So, it seems we are to be under restrictions until at least the end of April. Don't misunderstand, I am fully in favor of this. I also understand (and to some extent, am pretty sure) that's not even long enough. Our governor here in MA said today that predictions are that the confirmed cases of … Continue reading Monday Musings: Goin’ Nowhere
