This week our lives included the best Zoom we have ever seen, and the worst. The best was about insect diversity in Costa Rica. It’s from Road Scholar. This was a free presentation, so I’m passing it on. The presenter is a delightful person, very entertaining, and knows a lot about insects. I promise you will be entertained and you will learn a lot if you watch it. The recording is on the web through Dec 23. Here’s the link.
The worst was a presentation from Peabody about medieval music. Music was performed on instruments of the time. The performer had very good technique, but the music didn’t sound musical. I certainly hope that medieval people had better music than this.
The rest of the week was pretty standard. We had our last Detective Novella class Thursday. COVID is still running rampant after the Thanksgiving holiday. Many counties in Maryland are closing indoor dining. Some are also closing outdoor dining. That doesn’t affect us. Carry out is still allowed. We’ll be having a Bob Evans breakfast Sunday. Our neighborhood is bringing a seafood food truck Sunday. This is the truck that offers Key Lime pie in a jar. It tastes a lot better than it sounds.
We’ve enjoyed some very mild weather the last few days. Highs have been near 60, with sunny skies and mild wind. It’s perfect for outdoor activities, such as bicycling!
I hope this finds everybody doing well.
