    Nice. Very nice.

    Is your piano in a different room? I don't recognize the curtains.

    Those are the same curtains that have hung on that window since long before we even moved in here 27 years ago. My best guess is 70s or 80s vintage. 🤣

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Started it today.

        Very, very, Taylor Sheridan - that's not a bad thing.

        Not quite as soapy as Yellowstone, but there's definitely some soap in there.

        If for no other reason than Jon Hamm...there's Billy Bob Thornton who is just fantastic. Probably as good as he was in Goliath.

        Also more T & A than Yellowstone, so that might be a good thing.

        Just a couple of episodes in, but very binge-worthy.

          Cunk on Life - The movie that follows the series on Netflix.

          If you liked the series, this is more of the same.

          It is stupid, but it is funny.

              Cool, I plan to watch that eventually.

              Right now I'm watching two shows that were very popular a couple years ago but I never watched them at the time (very normal for me... LOL). I'll mention the show titles when I'm done with the first seasons, since I'm highly sensitive to spoilers, even accidental hints.

                  It caused a smile. Gotta wonder what the point was, other than to fill some air time to stretch the episode to 50 minutes.

                  Also, a bit TOO much T & A.

                    Watched another couple "Sandbaggers" yesterday. Really really good. Each episode stands alone, dialog is thick, plots are frequently convoluted, but it moves along very well.

                    The chief of intelligence services (appropriately named "C") tells one of the operatives to bug out if things don't look right, "There is no James Bond in our business."

                    If you like LeCarre (@bachophile I'm looking at you), check this out. Very few shows get an 8.0 on IMDB - this is one of them.

                        First season was a "meh" for me. I'll probably watch the second, but it's low in the queue.

                        By the way, Gladiator II is free on Paramount + now.

                        From what I've read, Paramount would have to pay me to watch it.

                              We both watched Alchemy of Souls and Bad and Crazy - I got dragged in rather against my will but actually really enjoyed both of them. She seems to have backed off a little recently.

                                @Doctor-Phibes I haven't seen either those. I will have to "check them out."

                                I have recently been watching Blacklist, which is a US show from a few years ago. Interesting show, with good acting. Have to "suspend belief" sometimes, but so far (midway through Season 2), it is entertaining.

                                    I watched In the Land of Saints and Sinners last night. I thought it might be just another late period Liam Neeson vehicle where he's the old bad-ass, and there is some of that, but it's more serious. It's set in 70's Ireland during the IRA wars. The script is good, and the actors are excellent.

                                    Education is extremely important.

                                        Gonna finish up season 2 of Sandbaggers today. It's utterly brilliant.

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          Cool. I'll start that when I finish Lioness S2. Always need an exercise series. Bumping up my exercise from 30 minutes to 45.
