It is snowing here. So far lightly and prettily. But will it stay that way? I ask you.

Question for the class:  Do you know the TV series Parks and Recreation?

I didn't. It ran from 2009 to 2015, but I just learned of it and started watching it a couple of weeks ago. As it takes place in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana, I first thought of asking DR Jrand73. But since it was heretofore completely unknown to me, I was curious who else knew it.

I like to think of Pawnee being just a county or so over from Popcorn.

The critics these days are just plain wacko. Many of the great reviews I read of May December call it "hilarious" and call it "satire". It is neither. I hope both ladies are up for awards for this.

So, the choice is go to Gelson's and make pasta here or order something in. Decisions, decisions.

Aha!  Thanks for the patented HHW vibes.  I did begin to feel better.

I have finished PART ONE of KRITZER WORLD and I love it!

Perhaps I will finish it tomorrow.

LOL Yes, DR CHAS SMITH - as an Indiana State Employee at various agencies for almost twenty years, I enjoyed PARKS & RECREATION because it was cannily accurate in its portrayals of the folks that I worked with.

They did some location filming now and then, but my schedule never worked out so I could be a part of it.

I always imagined Pawnee to be Putnam County where my home theeder is.

Parks & Rec is a show I know. I didn’t see every episode. Kind of a go-to show for airplane binge-watching; A fun cast, well-deployed.

Except for the mini-blizzard that hit while I took my son to his climbing gym. Nothing in the forecast suggested it.

The ball of my right foot is very tender and it's painful to put pressure on it.

Pain-in-the-foot-go-away vibes for Larry!

I have seen only a few new movies, but I enjoyed:


Little Richard: I Am Everything
Oppenheimer
John Wick 4
Asteroid City
Juniper
The Lost King
Moving On



Of these, I've only seen Oppenheimer.  I think that that might be only new movie that I saw this year.  Can that be right?? :o

We watched it.  At first we weren't sure about it, skipped a few episodes and then were hooked.

The trailer did not look hilarious or as if it is a satire.

I am glad you are feeling better, and hope tomorrow you are greatly improved.  You can still get the flu if you have been vaccinated.  Did you receive the senior quad vaccine?

Fun.  Is the climbing gym local or do you have to go to Canada for it?

In-between the 3rd & 4th loads we went to what we thought was only going to be a piano recital to watch our little 9 year old friend.  We didn't realize she is taking voice as well as piano.  First she sang a song and then played something short on the piano.

A few other students also played and sang.  Plus the school teaches other instruments giving a bit of variety to the recital.  They are all fairly news students so no great talent here, just cute scared kids.

What surprised us, and we could have done without, was the owne of the school, who also teaches piano & voice, performed for us.  She also talked a lot.  Obviously she is enthusiastic about what she does but really, we thought that was a bit strange.
