I was itching to go to a show and saw that Kenny Wayne Shepherd was playing at The Palace Theatre, so I decided to go. I wouldn’t call myself a fan of the band (I really only knew their one hit from like 30 years ago, Blue on Black), but I do love blues rock, so I figured it would be good. And, it really was!
I really enjoyed the first movie in the series, so I’m definitely going to watch the rest. It had a bunch of my favorite character actors in it, too, so that was a nice bonus. This was a really great action movie, except for the puppy killing part. I guess the moral of this story was don’t mess with a man’s puppy. Or Mustang.
Netflix has the first three movies from the series, but they’re only available until the end of this month, so it looks like I’m going to watch them this month.
My rating: 3.5/5
There were a couple trees that I planted too close to the house. I had them trimmed once a couple years ago, but they continued to grow, as trees do. So, I decided to have them removed. That happened today. There were two oak trees in the front and one maple in the back. Yet, I still have a lot of trees in the yard. I had another maple in the back trimmed. The maple that was removed from the back was a lesser problem, but I figured while they were here, might as well take care of everything.
The guys tried to be careful in the yard, but with all of the rain we’ve been getting, I ended up with some ruts from the equipment. I will probably have to fix them in the spring. We’ll see how it looks then. It’s still winter, you know! One thing is for sure, raking leaves is going to be a lot easier this year. Those oak trees in the front were terrible–they’d hold onto their leaves forever and I’d be outside raking them when it was 30 degrees. I still have two more oak trees in the front, but they’re a lot smaller, so they won’t be a problem for a long time (and they’re closer to the road than the house).
This was a pretty good novel about a serial killer. Not sure if I would seek out other stories in the series, but I did enjoy it. It was definitely a page-turner, especially near the end. And receiving a new Stephen King book, Holly, while I was reading it was extra motivation to finish.
My rating: 3.5/5
I’m pretty sure when I first heard of this Netflix series, I thought it was about the Royal Family. But, as it turns out, it’s a fictional story about a chess prodigy. It was quite engaging. I liked it a lot. Not only was it a good story, but I loved all of the mid-century modern decor shown throughout the series.
My rating: 3.5/5
