We are having unbelievably nice weather. I did a ride today in 75 degree weather. I was in summer clothes, and sweating! I wasn’t sweating a lot, but I think this is the first time I ever sweat outdoors in November. I’ve missed two interesting Zooms. I carefully planned my day Friday so I could watch a Zoom from the Museum of Industry about Baltimore industry during WW II. I was going to hit the road immediately after that Zoom so I could get home in time for a Circle Zoom. About an hour before the Zoom was supposed to start, I learned that the Zoom would be an hour later. It was too late to get a ride in and catch the Zoom. Danita enjoyed the presentation.

We usually watch a couple of hours of TV after dinner. We ran out of interesting Amazon Prime videos quite a while ago. We’ve been using Netflix. We’re getting pretty good at finding interesting content. Right now we’re watching Lucifer and Queens Gambit. I didn’t think a series about a woman who plays chess could possibly be interesting. But there were so many good reviews that we gave it a try. It’s quite good.

Bud called Sunday and said his mouth hurt from his tooth extraction. He’s doesn’t normally complain. Danita and I spent almost all day Monday taking him to the oral surgeon and the regular dentist. It seems to have been a false alarm. That took a lot of time, but the good news is quite welcome.

Our class about detective novellas is more work than we intended. The first book was a fun read. The next book was written in England in the 1950s. The third was written in New Zeeland in the 1940s. There’s too many English words! Even the Kindle dictionary doesn’t recognize them all. Plus there are allusions to pop culture of the day that we don’t get. Still, we’re learning interesting things about how detective novels are constructed, and some of the things that make them interesting.

That’s the news for this week. I hope all are doing well.
