Regen, you are alive!
Congratulations about the family news, especially mini's internship. I am sure you will miss having her around all the time, but at least Denmark is not too far away from you.
Hello Don! I am so pleased you came back. I am doing well except for some health issues that are not terrible but not ideal. For example, I had a very high blood pressure, so we are trying a new drug and last Wednesday I did the horrible 24 hours pressure measuring thing. I hope it worked (I mean, it had correctly readings. I had some bad experiences about that). It was not so bad. Also, hubby and I are recovering from some cold and both of us still have an annoying random coughing.
I've been dictating some classes I don't usually do, so it iwas fun. And this week I have to evaluate some doctorate students (they have a plan, and they around half of it, so we have to evaluate if they are doing well, if we think they are going to finish in time or perhaps they should change some things, we do some suggestions, things like that.
TV and movies: I watched Wednesday, i liked it. This season more than the first one, I believe. I also watched Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which was a hit of miss with some good episodes and some terrible ones. I also watched two super heroes movies to comment here. Thunderbolts (Marvel) and Superman (DC). Thunderbolts was ok. No pretensions, not big deal. Superman was...pleasant to watch but too many things had no sense, and I was not delighted with some casting (but I am ok with Superman and Lois). Also, there is Krypto!
Last, I watched two more serious/darker shows. The girlfriend, which was very disturbing but interesting and well done and We were liars, which was mesmerizing. I liked it.
And yay! the book is coming! I heard JB was in a conventions these last days.
