Happy Birthday to @lem0nysnicket! We had such a lovely time in Portugal and Spain together over the past 2 weeks. I hope her birthday was as good as she made mine last week.
I just heard the song #Highwomen for the first time. I was a fan of the song The Highwaymen that inspired it and I’ve been a fan of Brandi Carlile for years. I was absolutely blown away by the song. I’m a bit late to the party but it’s one of the best songs I’ve heard this year.
Just finished Mike Flanagan’s new show #MidnightMass and it was amazing. The Easter Vigil was one of the most intense scenes of television I’ve seen in a long time. I love his films, and Flanagan’s tv series are always top notch. Can’t wait to see what he does next.
I’m sitting in the St. Louis airport getting ready to fly to the UK so I can see @lem0nysnicket in person for the first time since November 2019. It’s been toooooooo long.
Somebody came into the library earlier and asked if they could order the next book in the Song of Ice and Fire series.
Me: yes, of course. Where are you up to?
Them: I think it’s called The Winds of Winter.
Me: ... ah
I’m very grateful to have gotten my first dose of the #PfizerCovidVaccine today. There were so many volunteers and the National Guard out there making sure everything went well so that the process was as painless as possible for the thousands of people getting shots today.
Elections have consequences.
Biden within hours of taking the oath of office was able to: revoke Muslim ban, rejoin Paris Climate Agreement,
extend federal eviction moratorium,
rescind Census orders to exclude non-citizens, preserve/fortify DACA and much more.
It’s a new day.
@RickSteves We’ve been dating for 5 years, but have now spent more than a year of that time apart because of COVID. Every few months we would meet somewhere in Europe or North America to spend a few weeks together. We’re really hoping that we’ll be reunited next year.
@RickSteves I was supposed visit the U.K. to see my girlfriend in April. She had planned to visit me in June. We were planning to travel across 9 different European countries for my 30th birthday in October. Instead of all that we FaceTimed a lot and I backpacked a few Missouri State Parks.
