Open Mic

Weather: After a pretty wet week it looks like it’s gonna be fairly dry this coming week, and not too hot until later in the week.

The week: Nothing much planned for the weekend or upcoming week.

TV: We watched the new season of Virgin River (Netflix), a romantic light-drama with some really pretty scenery. We also watched Summer of Soul (HULU) which was excellent until about the last 10 minutes or so when they showed activists trying to rile-up the crowd with talk about protesting and killing. That ruined it for me.

Weather: A wet weekend followed by typical summer weather which leads into another wet weekend.

The week: Not much planned this week except dinner with friends on Sunday.

TV: We finally finished Schitt’s Creek (Netflix), then we caught up with The Handmaid’s Tale (HULU) and will start watching the new season of Virgin River (Netflix).

Weather: After a very wet and warm week, the weekend brings slightly cooler temperatures and much lower humidity. That only lasts thru the weekend and things start getting hot and muggy again on Monday.

The week: We’re having a few people over on Sunday, the 4th of July, for BBQ and games.

TV: We’re just starting the 6th and final season of Schitt’s Creek (Netflix). We watched the movie Fatherhood (Netflix) starring Kevin Hart as a single father trying to raise his daughter after his wife died.

Independence Day: Sunday is the 4th of July, a federal holiday in the United States, commemorating the Declaration of Independence of the United States, on July 4, 1776.

Weather: Wet and warm seems to be the prognosticators prediction for the coming week.

TV: We’re into season 4 of Schitt’s Creek (Netflix) and will be glad to be done with it. We’re watching the Olympic Gymnastic Trials (NBC) this weekend that are taking place in St. Louis.
We also went to the movies Tuesday night and saw The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard with Ryan Reynolds, Salma Hayek, Samuel L. Jackson, and Morgan Freeman. It does have quite a bit of adult language but we really enjoyed it. Lots of laughs!

Weather: Simply put it’s summertime in St. Louis.

The week: I’m planning on power washing and sealing my concrete patio this weekend. Nothing else major planned.

TV: We finished the current season of Lucifer (Netflix). We watched Mare of Easttown (HBO Max), a 6 or 7 episode limited-series crime drama which we really liked a lot. We also watched the Friends Reunion show (HBO Max). I watched a lot of Friends episodes but wasn’t what you’d call a super fan, but I enjoyed the reunion show.

Weather: Summer weather is here, and the high temperatures brings along the chance for afternoon storms pretty much every day.

The week: I’m probably going to be working around the house over the weekend. I might do some power washing and other fun chores.

TV: We watched the new season of The Kominsky Method (Netflix). There were only 6 episodes and this is the final season. We’re watching the new season of Lucifer (Netflix). This week we also went to the movies (for the second time in about 15 months) to see Cruella.

Weather: After a rather cool start this weekend it looks like it’s going to warm up as the week passes.

The week: We had a good time in Branson last weekend. We didn’t do a whole lot. We did go see the magician, Rick Thomas perform. I had seen him years ago when he was a regular in Las Vegas. We also went to the relatively new Branson Aquarium and also did some strolling and shopping at the Branson Landing, downtown.
We’re going to dinner with friends Saturday night and going to a Pignic on Sunday. Nothing else planned.

Weather: It seems that summer is here.

The week: We’re in Branson Missouri for a few days. Nothing really planned while we’re here. I’ll be checking in once in a while but probably not too often. We’ll be back in St. Louis on Monday evening.

TV: Watched the first season of The Upshaws (Netflix), a half-hour situation comedy that is typical of those kinds of shows but with a little more language since it’s on Netflix. We’re also watching The Handmaid’s Tale (HULU).

That’s it from B&P Headquarters in St. Louis. What’s going on in your world?

Weather: Warm, wet and cool coming up this week. we’re getting a bit more
“spring type” weather this year than we have in recent years. It seemed to go from chilly to hot in the matter of a week or so in years past.

The week: My wife is doing well two-and-a-half weeks after knee surgery. She graduated from a walker to a cane this week. She goes to the doctor on Wednesday for her 3-week checkup. If it goes as it did after her first knee replacement she’ll be able to go back to work part-time. Not much else is going on around here.

TV: We’re still watching Billions (Showtime) and just started on season 4 of Handmaid’s Tale (HULU). I’m about done watching Manifest as it’s just getting too ‘out-there’ for me.

That’s it from B&P Headquarters in St. Louis. What’s going on in your world?

Weather: After a week that included a record cold night or two in the St. Louis area, things are warming up.

The week: My wife is improving after her second knee replacement a week and a half ago. We both agree that this one wasn’t quite as bad as the first one was. Not that it was a picnic by any means, this time it just seemed easier. She’s getting around better with her walker and will move to a cane next Thursday if things continue as expected.

TV: We really haven’t watched anything new, still catching up on the same shows. I always enjoy watching the Oscars which will air this Sunday evening on ABC.
