Loved Sopranos. We watched it last summer during the heat of summer. I was surprised I liked it so much. I guess they are doing a follow-up movie with James Gandolfini's son starring as him, but it's a prequel of Sopranos. Should be good. Sad that James Gandolfini died so young.

You never knew with Det. Yamana - and never really cared. Barney Miller was a great show....

I subscribed to Apple News+ today. $10/month, with access to a couple dozen magazines that I'd like to read from time to time, but would not subscribe to individually. I am spending more in total, but that seems like a fair price for what I am getting, at least for now. Can be shared across six people via Family Sharing.

I am also doing a lot more borrowing of ebooks from my public library. If you have a current library card, check out what your library offers; ours is very substantial! If you don't have a current card, your library may be able to do it electronically. Ours does; send them a picture of a qualifying document, and they'll send you back a card # and mail a physical copy later.

Criminal Minds on Netflix was one the best. Still can't find anything else that compares.
 
The University of Michigan was the home of the first Teach-In; as a way to continue that tradition we sometimes offer short "Teach Outs" on Coursera or other platforms about interesting topics. There is one that is running today, entitled "Thrive in Trying Times." It will take about three hours of your time, but might be a good way to spend part of a day! I've already started it.


From the course introduction:
In times of crisis, like the coronavirus and COVID-19 pandemic, we can still find ways to thrive by using positive practices. When many of us feel challenged enough just getting through the day, thriving simply means finding ways to meet those challenges — large or small — with creativity, resourcefulness, and agility. Join this Teach-Out to learn about practices that allow people and organizations to thrive, even during trying times.

Another U-M course I am enrolled in that starts today: "Finding Purpose and Meaning In Life: Living for What Matters Most." This is a four-week course, taking about two hours/week.


From the course introduction:
In this course, you’ll learn how science, philosophy and practice all play a role in both finding your purpose and living a purposeful life. You will hear from historical figures and individuals about their journeys to finding and living a purposeful life, and will walk through different exercises to help you find out what matters most to you so you can live a purposeful life.

We recently discovered on Amazon Prime and have been been watching "Psych." Good mysteries, no gore(which I don't like), with lots of dry humor. I think it lasted 7 or so seasons, so we have a lot to catch up on, but sadly, the series was cancelled before I even knew about it.

We are rewatching The Wire. Gritty series involving Baltimore police. Will probably rewatch Homicide next

I enjoyed the homicide series and rewatched it on video many years ago
 
amazon prime: The Durrells in Corfu. DH thought it was super boring. I watch late night for a fun, relaxing show.
 
Modern Romance on Prime is excellent series. I have watched maybe 80% of the shows previously mentioned. This series is unique in that each episode has its own characters & story line. Young love, mature love, old love, family love. Different actors for each episode. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed each & every one. Series has been renewed.

I enjoyed all the seasons on Amazon even though I originally watched a few episodes here and there when it aired on PBS. It was nice to watch end to end to follow the story lines and characters. A very low key story but perfect escape from the barrage of virus stories.

I enjoyed this Durrells in Corfu series. Stumbled upon a mention of a show about what came next for the family. But I didn't have access.
