While this post is primarily about Armitage’s new Netflix limited series, I also want to say that I am missing you all, even though I haven’t been able somehow to get myself back into blogging (yet?). I am also still missing our blogging friend Servetus, who we lost in 2024… she made a big impact … Continue reading Missing You

When I’m Sixty-Four
I’ve had this song playing in my head… because yesterday was my 64th birthday! Rather than the original version, I thought I’d post this one I found online. Great harmonies! https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=37&v=ve-LBM5iBS4&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&source_ve_path=Mjg2NjY&feature=emb_logo My husband and I just came back from a 2-night getaway to Whistler for my birthday and for a much-needed break from work for … Continue reading When I’m Sixty-Four
Still Obsessed Enough to Watch “Obsession”
Yes, I admit that I watched it in its entirety on the first night, as at around 2 and a half hours, it could have been called a movie, rather than a limited series. Obsession is a taut and stylish thriller, which held my attention throughout and which I enjoyed. In my opinion, it is … Continue reading Still Obsessed Enough to Watch “Obsession”
Getaway Recap
Tuesday evening, I started my solo getaway, which has become a bit of an annual tradition. After the hectic budget season at work, I really need that downtime to just do whatever pleases me. Usually, I try to do some planning for the future, but this year felt like a lengthy meditation -- I really … Continue reading Getaway Recap
Rebalancing – Part 2
I guess it's been around 7 weeks since I wrote Part 1 and somehow thought I might have some free time. (What was I thinking?!) I've now finished my big project and have a few weeks before the next one starts. I managed to take Sunday and Monday off this week! (Normally I work pretty … Continue reading Rebalancing – Part 2
Ten Days
I often feel when I'm posting about vacations or fun times that it seems like I'm posting something blog-perfect (to steal a term from Instagram). Not that what I'm posting isn't real, of course, just that the warts are hidden from public consumption. So, today's post is filled with the regular and irregular ups and … Continue reading Ten Days
Discoveries in the Time of Coronavirus
This morning was nice... my husband brought me a cup of coffee in bed! A rare treat. We've been getting along pretty well as co-workers -- especially since we started using the trick I read on-line. We invent an imaginary co-worker to blame things on, as in, "That Felix! He left his coffee cup on … Continue reading Discoveries in the Time of Coronavirus
The Escape: Home, Books, Movies, Etc.
Home again. I was greeted by the dog, who seems to only love me for the treats I give. He runs to get in front of me, herding me, hoping for something, anything. My younger son tells me that we need to do something ASAP about the wifi in his room and that he has … Continue reading The Escape: Home, Books, Movies, Etc.
Finally… A Good On-Screen Project!
**NO SPOILERS** The anticipation is over... Thursday and Friday evening, I binge-watched Netflix's The Stranger starring Richard Armitage. What a relief to find that the 8-episode series is actually good! The Stranger is based on Harlan Coben's book of the same name. Red Production Company, Coben, and Danny Brocklehurst have collaborated on two previous series, but … Continue reading Finally… A Good On-Screen Project!
I Wonder If She’ll Ever Meet Armitage?
I was browsing the internet a while ago (as one does)... maybe I typed in "I want to marry Richard Armitage" in a moment of weakness? Lol. Anyway... I came across this cute video from 2013 with an original song containing the unforgettable lyrics: "What I really, really, really, really, really want is to marry … Continue reading I Wonder If She’ll Ever Meet Armitage?
