It&#8217;s free, and I don&#8217;t have anything else to do.  I have to think our season of hibernation is about to end though.  If the forecast is to be believed (always a sketchy bet,) we should be in for a lengthy stretch of dry, warm weather starting Wednesday.  We&#8217;ve had a few intermittent windows of sun, but for the most part it&#8217;s been cloudy and rainy for several weeks.  Now, if we actually take advantage of the nice weather remains to be seen.  Surely good intentions count for something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t want to strain myself trying to remember too far back, so I&#8217;ll briefly cover last weekend and pretend the past few weeks never happened.  (Which, in a sense, they didn&#8217;t.)  Saturday was my only evening of note, when we went to a trivia night at a local winery.  Trivia is just quite the fad out here, maybe it is everywhere?  I&#8217;ve never been to one myself, but now I have.  Yeah, check that one off.  Eh, it was pretty fun actually, I think I might go to another.  I wasn&#8217;t much for input to the answers though, most of the questions I thought were pretty random.  I actually have my doubts about the moral character of the winning team, I think there may have been some shenanigans involved there.  They got nearly a perfect score;  Either they cheated, or they were a group of complete nerds.  I&#8217;m not ruling out either, or possibly a combo of these scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sunday was, as everyone knows, the Oscars awards.  Donette likes to get together with friends for dinner and watch the show.  Personally, I don&#8217;t have a lot of use for it, having seen very few of the movies and not recognizing the majority of the names.  So, as is my annual tradition, I stayed home and watched my own movies and babysat the pups.  The showing at my house this year was &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt19623240\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3_tt_8_nm_0_q_winnie%2520the%2520pooh\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt19623240\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3_tt_8_nm_0_q_winnie%2520the%2520pooh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Winnie The Pooh:  Blood &amp; Honey<\/a>.&#8221;  While it is my understanding that this cinematic masterpiece was not represented with an Oscar nomination, I found it quite riveting, well-done entertainment.  OK, it was awful.  It fully earned that incredibly low 2.9\/10 rating.  I understand part 2 is coming out soon, maybe it will fare better.  Can&#8217;t be much worse.  Oh, I also finished the book I&#8217;ve been reading, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/15729539-nos4a2\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/15729539-nos4a2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nos4a2<\/a>.&#8221;  That was a good read, I may search out a few more of his books.  I do have a few major complaints regarding it, but as the friend who lent it to me hasn&#8217;t read it yet I&#8217;ll keep my spoilers to myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really can&#8217;t think of anything we&#8217;ve done this month, but I suppose I should type something up anyway.
