November 21, 2024: Wrapping up the Montreal trip!

Name an under appreciated book that needs a t.v. or film adaptation.

My pick…

In 3016, the 2nd Empire of Man spans hundreds of star systems, thanks to faster-than-light Alderson Drive. Intelligent beings are finally found from the Mote, an isolated star in a thick dust cloud. The bottled-up ancient civilization, at least one million years old, are welcoming, kind, yet evasive, with a dark problem they have not solved in over a million years.

What book would you love to see get the small or big screen treatment?

Akemi insists Japanese crows are even more formidable due to hyper-intelligence developed as a result of their consumption of discarded McDonald’s meals.

This was pretty on point, even back in the day…

Heading back home tomorrow after spending a few days with mom.  We did some rearranging yesterday to make room for the hospital bed mom received.  She found it much more comfortable for sleeping as it’s easier to get in and out, and also offer the option of remote-adjusting the foot and head.  So much so, in fact, that she encouraged me to give it a go while she was downstairs.  I respectfully passed.  Think I’ll hold out while I still can.  Also, ordered LifeLine security system that is comprised of a necklace/bracelet with a panic button in case she falls while no one is home or the remote doesn’t work and she can’t turn the t.v. on to watch Murder She Wrote.  I have been doing a lot of sitting while I’ve been here and I very much look forward to resuming my slightly less sedentary lifestyle.
