Here we are, trying to make do on a rainy Monday morning. I had a pretty good weekend. Nothing super special, but got plenty done, including finally buying a Christmas tree. It's a little short but very well-shaped. We'll decorate tonight. I did not, however, get my big project even started - cleaning out the garage. I really need to do it before the snow flies, but there's no sign of it in the 10 day, so I'm safe.
We did our usual scorpion bowl and comedy TV last night. John Oliver was brilliant as usual. His takedown of George Santos and the morally bankrupt GOP was hilarious and cutting, and the main bit on organ donating was, typically, eye-opening. And #SNL was actually pretty funny. The Old Friends bit was great and the baby on the plane cracked me up. And Olivio was finally a musical guest I know and like.
I also got some #reading in. I finally finished Rise & Fall of the 3rd Reich - only took me 4 years! More than 50 years since it was written and it is still terrifying. And I'm almost done with Silkworm, the 2nd Cormoran Strike novel. It's good but a bit wordy. And I'm listening to Knife Creek, the 8th book in the Mike Bowditch series. He's a Maine game warden and the books are solid, but I think I need something gritty. #AmReading#books@bookstodon
@stevewfolds@bookstodon at least when you read it back then, you probably thought "at least it couldn't happen here". Today, it is terrifyingly easy to imagine
