Two!

[Ron Pulliam]

Last night, I watched a PBS show called "The Brokenwood Mysteries".

It was the 4th episode of Season 1, and I wasn't sure it would be a stand-alone mystery.  Happily it was!

Not to belabor the point with details, I rather enjoyed it. There was a killing and there were several suspects.  Once it was clear who the true killer was and the reasons, the show went a bit longer than it should have with a rather unsettlingly odd issue of the killer taking a hostage and traveling to the very place where the killing had taken place. 

It's a worthy show, nonetheless, and fills a void in weekday night entertainment.

Two!

I shall mark you down with an "A" for math today.

TOD:

David Mamet’s Redbelt
Kentucky Fried Movie
Airplane!
Maybe a silent Hitchcock, such as Champagne

DR Jeanne turned me on to that series. It’s wonderful. All of the episodes are standalone. I think we’re up to nine seasons.

Leave it to Georgia PBS to be showing season 1

Recovery vibes for MR BK.

And Shopping Vibes & Finding Vibes as well.

One of my favorite musicals is AMOUR, starring Malcolm Gets and Melissa Errico.

My memory is that I liked that show a lot!

[Jrand74]

Yesterday I watched a movie from 2013 titled Inside Llewyn Davis - a film from the Coen Brothers.

I had never heard of it - but I enjoyed it.  A week in the life of a folk singer in 1961.

Quirky.  And I enjoyed the music.

[Jrand74]

Nice links from DR IRIS.

[Jrand74]

Nice photo yesterday of Susan & Fred.

Another cloudy day.

[Freddie]

Continued recovery vibes for DR CHAS SMITH.

Sending more recovery vibes to Chas from here as well!

[Freddie]

Nice photo yesterday of Susan & Fred.

It's nice when people associate the name Fred with Fred Astaire rather than Fred Flintstone or Fred Mertz.

[Freddie]

The biggest problem with Fred Mertz was that it seemed impossible to convince him of one indisputable fact:

Ethel (played by Vivian Vance) was NOT fat!  Why did her husband keep suggesting that she was fat?

Greetings from the Buffalo Niagara International Airport!

Here’s Lin-Manuel Miranda, honoring Billy Crystal at the Kennedy Center Honors.

One of my happiest memories, if I may live in the past a bit, was Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeting about the lyrics I was posting in the New York Times comments

Lin-Manuel Miranda very generously tweeted
"Freddie the NYTimes commenter is a local treasure" in Nov. 2015 -
https://twitter.com/lin_manuel/status/669222699361771520

That was very nice of him to encourage other writers.

The Times actually quoted his tweet a few months later.

towards the end of the article; you just have to scroll down a bit:

when the Times hired me to write a farewell lyric to its ArtsBeat blog.

I arrived on the 23rd and had a nice time with my family.  I managed to see everyone, except my nephew, so I’m happy about that.  Last year I only saw one of my two brothers and his family because of the historic blizzard.  My sister, former DR Kate, sends her regards to HHW!

[KevinH]

That’s great that Lin-Manuel tweeted about you, DR Freddie!

[Freddie]

That’s great that Lin-Manuel tweeted about you, DR Freddie!

Thanks, Kevin!

Am I reading this correctly?  Your happiness is because of being with lots of family and NOT the absence of the nephew?

Interesting look at score and underscoring of Merrily with video of the British production.

I googled Glow Bowl
