Finished Fall on Your Knees earlier. It did not end quite like I had predicted.

Hello all. Of course I was away so long it was inevitable I learned some bad news. I'll always remember DR Danise as such a gentle soul.

She was a sweet and lovely woman

Logging out to watch the State of the Union Address.

Tough crowd this year. I wonder if those Republicans who wear assault weapon pins on their lapels will have the decency to remove them.

I do not believe the people  who wear them are aware of the meaning of the “d”word

Back from a longer finessing session than usual, all due to having five songs in this episode, which runs eighteen minutes, which is 5 or 6 longer than the other episodes, but it never feels like it.

I agree, DR John G. - very strong season of All Creatures, and several of the final episodes I found to be extremely moving.

Last night and tonight, I watched John Dexter's 1977 Met production of Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites. Very beautiful and moving, also.

I wish the past would invite me back to rectify a thing or two.

Great quote from Siegfried in this episode.

It is.

The original All Creatures Great and Small was on for seven seasons.  I don't recall the series dealing with the war at all.

It seems the new series will follow the true war activities of the characters the stories the show is based on.

I got sniffly at the story of River, the horse with PTSD.

I could not watch the SOTU address.....mostly because of the expected closeups of the idiots in the audience who should be watching from their trailer homes instead of seats of power....

And honestly I can't watch Joe Biden stumble through any more speeches.....he loses his place and has to go back and correct himself or he just rambles on.....and four or five times, he always throws in a curse word......and he always messes up reading numbers.....

So, no thanks.
