Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

NFL football has started. Dobby experienced his first game here, with me yelling at the TV. Any other sport I don't do much yelling, but Packer games, yeah, I yell. I was not happy with some of the officiating. That is all I will say.  

Dobby survived, he wasn't sitting near me during the game. During the part of the Monday night game I watched he was on the back of the chair. 

The weather has turned fall like. Much cooler, less humid. I woke up on Monday and the thermometer said 48F! Plus it is a bit rainy this week. 

We tried the library trivia again on Monday and weren't impressed, again. They asked for feedback after the first one, but they did change anything. They had a decent turn out but the one at the local bar is more fun. We end up scoring about the same at both places. The bar is also more fun as we can flirt with the cute wait staff guys.  


Wrecked - looks at the economic impact of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald while trying to bring political impacts such as declining unionization and industrialization. Interesting but in some cases I didn't always feel that the material he was presenting was something I wanted to read about in the context of the tragedy. 

Read Your Mind - You have probably seen the author on TV, figuring out what someone is thinking. He says he reads people versus reading their minds. Sort of a memoir along with giving tips on how to improve your ability to read people. 

Traitor King - a joint look at the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, beginning with his abdication in December 1936. The conclusion of the author is that with their Nazi sympathies they were used or tried to be used to influence the British during World War II. As such the British government did their best to keep them well away from any sphere of influence. After the war they lived a life of spoiled rich people, who were bored and in return were boring!

The Look - the evolution of Michelle Obama and her wardrobe as First Lady as well as the team that help with makeup and hair. Lots of pictures of the various clothing she wore, gowns and casual during her time in the White House.  




That means I am tired and need to quit reading!

 Happy Reading.

It is Friday and in the liturgical calendar it is Good Friday. The Friday before Easter Sunday. Growing up this always meant church service in the afternoon, usually a long service with communion.  Dobby is doing well, I can't believe how quickly he has settled in and how comfortable he seems to be from his first days here. He will see the vet next week, so we will see what she says about him.  Doing his loaf impression on the bed.  Neon Lights from Big Twist. Nice bright primary colors.     This is actually my closet at the end of March. It is rather empty at the moment but I want to wait to buy when the company has a promo where they have a special on shipping for a set price for the entire order. Otherwise the cost of shipping is 10 percent of the value of the order and I plan to buy lots of yarn. I want to finish using the final three yarns on the right side.  Happy Weekend.  Happy Easter.

I am bummed, less than two weeks into this new blog and I get a comment that I had to delete. On the old blog I had comment moderation set up so that nothing showed until I had reviewed it. I was hoping with a new blog that I might have some time before that happened. Guess not. For now I will leave moderation off, but may need to put it back on.  Added 4/10/26 8 AM - Comment moderation is back on. I got six comments all from the same place. I did report them to Blogger, their ID said they had only been on Blogger since last month.   I am bummed as I seemed to have lost a few readers with the move. Even though I published the new link. Miss you guys! Dobby and I are at an impass of sorts. While he made himself scarce the day of his vet visit I figured I should see how well he would go into the carrier. NOT WELL! I tried twice and he spent a good deal of time in the basement hiding. We seem to be rebonding and I have to get him to accept the carrier, even if it is with bri...

It has been a long week. Severe weather with thunderstorms and a nearby tornado. Over 5 inches of rain this week alone and overall this month double what we would normally get for the entire month. One fatality, he was struck by lightning on Wednesday night.  The guy was walking in a parking lot to his truck. Thankfully no damage here and also to none of my friends. Lots of flooding, especially streets.  Amazing to watch all the stupid drivers who drive through flooded streets. Then are dumbfounded when their car dies on them. Thousands of dollars in damage to get the car engine working and the car cleaned out too.  Still working on crochet projects for the time being. This one is Happy Rainbow yarn from Big Twist, bright pastel colors. Would make a great baby or kid blanket.  Dobby is doing well, he did not freak out with the storms this week. Also he branched out and didn't sleep on my bed a couple of nights. Maybe he did sleep there but just wasn't there when I wo...
