This was an enjoyable book and I’m looking forward to seeing the movie. It was about a widowed curmudgeon whose personality is transformed by an unintended friendship with a family who moves in next door to him. So, not my usual kind of novel, but it was good.

My rating: 3.5/5

mixology: st. patrick’s day

I went to another mixology class at Penn Highlands. This one had a St. Patrick’s Day theme. Like the previous classes I took, it was a lot of fun, though not terribly illuminating. I’m taking a Cinco de Mayo one next month and I suspect that will be up my alley.

shopping and dinner

Jake and I made our bi-yearly pilgrimmage to T.J. Maxx last night. He got a lot of nice stuff, I got a few things I was looking for. We went to The Fifth for dinner after shopping. It was a fun night. After he moves, we’ll have to continue the trend whenever he’s in town for work.

the big bang theory

It took a while to watch this series…one DVD at a time. It was pretty funny. I’d describe it as an above-average sitcom and I do love sitcoms!

My rating: 3.5/5

the walking dead

I loved this show when it first came out. It was so good. I’m not sure why, but when they introduced Negan, my interest waned. I’m not the only one, so it must be something about that character. While I like the actor who portrayed him, I didn’t really like how he did the character. But, maybe that’s how the character was supposed to be.

Anyway, seasons 1, 2, 3 and maybe a little beyond that were so great. The rest of it was kind of the same story over and over. But, I stuck with it and watched the final episode last night. As far as final episodes go, it wasn’t that great. They set up the 3 spin-off series, which I can’t imagine that I will be watching. One’s with Michonne and Rick, another with Daryl, and another with Negan and Maggie. The Daryl one might have been interesting if Carol was still included, but the actress exited that project for some reason.

My rating: 5/5 for the first few seasons and 3/5 for the rest
