Now that Gary and I are back to our old habits, we are having our old disagreements.
One disagreement is over what to watch on the television. He was quite miffed that I refused to watch The Nutcracker with him. (“Dancing mice,” I said. “Sugar plum fairies. Hard pass.”) I may still use The Nutcracker as a bartering chip to get him to watch the 1970’s Jim Hutton Ellery Queen series.
Instead, what we settled on was Poirot. It’s a mystery series, with some much needed English charm, and absolutely no dancing mice.
Once we got three shows in, I checked how many seasons there are. It’s no fun when your binge-watch prematurely ends.
My heart stopped when I saw that it ran for 24 years. 1989-2013. Luckily, there were “only” 13 seasons and 70 episodes.

I am now bingeing (sp) Reign as per your “recommendation”. My husband was initially reluctant, but it has now sucked him in. He has no historical knowledge of the period so has no clue who these people are or how Mary could ever claim to be a Queen of 3 countries. I can’t decide if his righteous indignation that that “can’t be a thing” is annoying or entertaining.
Ah – oh, I find his righteous indignation hilarious! Doesn’t he realize the current Queen Elizabeth is the queen of England, Scotland, and Canada?
He should, given that we’re Canadian!
AH – Hahahaha!
