I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.
I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.
I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.
My family buried secrets. I'll never know the answers to at least two events that apparently traumatized me as a child. I'm still bitter about that. Yes, I know I should let go; but, they colored my life for most of it.
It's hard for me to pick a favorite, too, but I also like and remember Robert Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening." That's the one I decided to memorize to recite to the class back in grade school. It still often pops in my mind. I think it's the easy rhythm and rhyme and the great description so well woven in. The only favorite book I remember is from way back also, "The Little Airplane." Maybe these are because I'm still a kid, even though seven decades later.
my phone does it all but I am constantly frustrated with the amount of text messages I received during the election and now with Christmas approaching. I'm spending too much time blocking numbers and reporting them as spam.
My first thought was no. However, I’ve watched a some scary movies that did not bother me. I thought the Blob was funny and The Fly was scary.
I was at home alone every night when the TV series Criminal Minds started. After the first time I refused to watch it. I think later years in that series toned down somewhat or I became tougher, because after a few seasons, I watched a couple more episodes and they did not bother me. When reruns started here during covid I watched some of the shows in the first season and decided they were worse in fright mode than later episodes.
I’ve read some really intense stories in books, that I did not like, and also some that did not bother me. So, now I have to say it depends on the characters, the situation, and some times just the problems going on around me. O,r the way the author presents the possibilities within a situation can give me a sense of too much reality .
Although I read a lot of detective and mystery, I do not go out of my way to watch thrillers or read thrillers.
