This Friday's song is actually four songs by Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. "Everywhere" was a good choice, but I had to share a couple more. I've had "crushes" on both Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie over the years. These songs were a memorable part of my life's journey. Hope you enjoy.
Finished Desert Star by Michael Connelly. This is another story featuring both Renée Ballard and Harry Bosch. If you are a Connelly fan, you will probably want to pick it up.
Our latest "escape" watch was The World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals on Netflix. In each episode, they travel to three vacation rental spots. One is a budget rental, one a luxury rental, and one an "unusual" rental. It was a fun watch.
My latest read was Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue by Hugh Howey. This is an interesting first novel. It is more "space opera" than the harder-core science fiction of his later work including Wool.
This is the first in a new series of posts to share things I come across that are, in the vernacular of my Boston youth, "wicked cool". Found a great video that does a complete 3D tour of how the RMS Titanic was built. It definitely had me saying "wicked cool."
This Friday's song is "How You Make a Man" by Craig Morgan. I have been taking some time to reflect over the long Thanksgiving weekend. As I think about what I am most grateful for in my life today, I realize how some of the hardest and most painful experiences in my life helped to shape me and make all of that possible. I thought this song says it much better than I ever could.
Our latest find on BBC was Karen Pirie. Pirie is a young up-and-coming detective who is unexpectantly promoted and given responsibility for a twenty-five-year-old cold case, the murder of a young barmaid. The show is well paced with a good cast. Recommended if you like British crime drama.
It got pretty chilly here in Tallahassee this week. We decided that we wanted to have something "warm and hearty" for our November date night. We visited Lucillia for the first time back in August. We had a great meal and there were a lot of other dishes on the menu that caught our interest. Their big flavors and creative "comfort food" seemed like the perfect match for what we wanted.
We decided to swing by Crumbl Cookies on Mahan today to check out the Pumpkin Cake, Hazelnut Sea Salt, and Apple Pie flavors. Had tastes of the first two today when we brought them home. Awesome!
Just finished Coming Dawn by Steven Konkoly. This new release is the second book in his Devin Grey series. This was another well-crafted techno-thriller. If you are a Clancy or Child fan, you should check it out!
I chose "There Goes My Life" by Kenny Chesney for this Friday's song. This has been on my playlists since it was first released in October 2003. This week my son Ryan received his "first" paycheck from his new job. I am one very proud father!
This morning, NASA launched a rocket to the moon for the first time in fifty years. If you were not able to watch the launch, take a minute to watch. If it doesn't fill you with awe and pride, I would be surprised. Congratulations to the entire team at NASA and all of their commercial partners on a successful first launch of this exciting next step to enable human exploration of the moon and Mars. Remember... Always look up!
