9 February 2025 Super Bowl Sunday

Or, since I didn't get explicit permission from the National Football League to use the term, it should probably be "Big Game Sunday." I am craving wings. I suppose I can go across the street and get chicken wings as an appetizer from the Chinese place.

I am most likely going to start by watching the game, and then switch to All Creatures Great and Small around halftime. As a Broncos supporter, I really dislike the Chiefs.

I love All Creatures Great and Small, but since I donated to my local PBS station and got a Passport subscription last fall, the entire new season became available as soon as the first episode aired.  We tried not to binge the whole thing at once, but still ended up finishing S5 before the end of January.

Still, aside from being distilled from pure coziness, it also stands up to rewatching.  We'll probably go through this whole season again (and maybe even rewatch some past seasons for good measure) at some point before S6 drops next January, as we did this past year.

We also started rewatching the first season of Funny Woman tonight, not having seen it since last February, and will then continue through S2.  That should last us this coming week at least.

As the Green Bay Packers were not playing I had very little interest in watching "the game" last night and so, I didn't.      Instead I watched the 2006 movie "Stranger Than Fiction" staring Emma Thompson and Will Ferrell.  From IMBD: I.R.S. auditor Harold Crick suddenly finds his mundane Chicago life to be the subject of narration only he can hear: narration that begins to affect his entire existence, from his work to his love life to his death.
The narration is coming from prolific author, Karen Eiffel (Thompson), as she writes her current novel.  It was a very cute, easy to watch film; just what I needed on a Sunday night.  

I also made some progress reading "Persepolis Rising" book #7 in the Expanse series.
