Four!

Made a big bowl of bitter melon salad.

Not to everyone’s tastes, but that just means more for me.

It’s threatening to rain. I wish it would. It’s affecting my sinuses.

Plus the new plants would like it.

I want to see The Two Popes.

Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce do a wonderful job!

They’re why I want to see it. Not really into clerical movies.

It is raining. Yay!

We're watching season 6 of CB STRIKE, based on the Rowling/Galbraith novel THE INK BLACK HEART.

Freddie · « **Reply #99 on:** September 06, 2025, 02:54:34 PM »

For some reason, this first episode of season 6 feels remote, almost cerebral, in a way that the previous five seasons didn't.

Freddie · « **Reply #100 on:** September 06, 2025, 02:55:01 PM »

It occurs to me that if this (season 6) were my first exposure to CB STRIKE, I might not go on watching. But given that I've found the characters fascinating in past seasons, I'll keep watching.

Freddie · « **Reply #101 on:** September 06, 2025, 02:56:35 PM »

For example, I'm sitting here typing at the computer while watching episode 1 and not feeling I'm missing anything

Freddie · « **Reply #102 on:** September 06, 2025, 02:59:04 PM »

Season 1 had three episodes, seasons 2 and 3 only had two episodes each, then seasons 4, 5, and 6 have four episodes each.

The lopsided nature has felt like a good thing. I wonder if the story in season 6 might have been better served (for my taste) with fewer episodes.

Freddie · « **Reply #103 on:** September 06, 2025, 03:01:50 PM »

Maybe it's that we're seeing less of Mr. CB Strike himself than we usually do.

I'm back from a short trip to DC where I was doing some research in the Performing Arts Reading Room at the Library of Congress.

Nice.

While at the Library of Congress, I had a meeting with a couple of archivists, and bk's exact problem came up in the discussion - media projects saved in an older version that newer versions can't open.

Interesting.

DR MichaelG, how was DC?

MichaelG · « **Reply #109 on:** September 06, 2025, 03:31:02 PM »

DR Jane, the weather was perfect. I didn’t see many military aside from subway stations. There were often a couple at Metro Center near my hotel, then 8 of them running out of the station near my niece’s place. The research went well.

Really interesting.

Thanks for sharing your D.C. experience, Michael G.

Thanks. I have a better idea what it is like now. I'm glad your research went well.

I now know what the Wordle word is

Keith got Wordle in four.

I was in a very limited part of DC. I wasn't at any of the tourist sites. My hotel wasn't convenient to restaurants in Dupont Circle or Adams Morgan so I didn't get there this time. I wouldn't know how it is elsewhere, and where they deploy apparently seems kind of random.

Jane · « **Reply #115 on:** September 06, 2025, 04:23:51 PM »

Thanks MichaelG. It has been interesting reading about your trip.

DR John, are you still working on The Hallmarked Man? My brother said it is too long for a mystery and he will not be reading it

bk · « **Reply #117 on:** September 06, 2025, 06:17:37 PM »

No news yet on Pro Tools. I know he had some gig today.

bk · « **Reply #118 on:** September 06, 2025, 06:18:00 PM »

Had a nice ninety-minute nap in bed.

About to have helping two of tuna pasta salad with pill two.
