Ha ha. I will refrain from using dissectologist. It doesn’t sound like a puzzle person. I laughed at autopsy.
Sorry to hear about your HP laptop problems. I hope you can get a new Dell if the old one dies. My Mac laptop was almost 15 years but I finally decided to get a new one. I worry about all the computer waste in the world, right? We just want them to work.
Your Montana flights sounded brutal. I hope your summer trips there will be better, without delays. What airline was that? I’m going to SoCal in April … fingers crossed about international flights. Cheers.

Dissectologist is a funny word! Sort of makes me think of performing an autopsy. I like “puzzle aficionado” better, ha!

I was using an HP Elite Book. Prior to that I was using a Dell. I am back to using the older Dell. I really like Dell and I think I’ll get a new one when I need to. My husband is taking the HP over. He ordered a new keyboard, but that won’t fix the mouse buttons. He doesn’t use them like I do, though, so it all works out for now.

Thanks! We didn’t land in Montana until 12:30am and then didn’t get to the house until 2:30 am by the time we collected luggage and got to the car. Not fun but we did have a great time once that was all over. I’m hoping our trips out there over the summer will be easier.

Hi Lux, The White Lotus seems pretty crazy now but I guess that’s why in part we watch it. What do you think of the Thai resort? Some of the beach shots are pretty nice. I have not been to Thailand yet but it looks appealing.
Hope you have a nice weekend.

Thanks Lark, the puzzle kept me going, lol. And I’m glad your area of SLC got more snow for the mountains there. That’s wonderful. I know we all could use whatever we can get for the reservoirs. It’s been so dry. I have been to Alta and Park City and those are great ski resorts. Love your Utah mountains. Have a great week.

Hi Jane, glad you like the fields photo. It is homey for us both, lol.
I had not heard of dissectologist but now we know.
I have read You Are Here and Good Material about six months apart. I think Good Material is a stronger book … but You Are Here has better scenery, lol. They are a bit different but wise to take time between. Have a great week!

Fantastic puzzle–dissectologist, that’s a new one for me. Will file in my brain under “stuff to remember during Jeopardy!”
If I hadn’t just read You Are Here, I might give Good Material a try, but I think it might be too much of the same thing right now.

Interesting to hear … that Graham Greene’s book is mentioned in the Ministry of Time. So it is a play off the GG title. I guess I’m more impressed by it then. And I’m glad you are enjoying it. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Sometimes books like that get a bit too crazy or jump around too much. So that’s perhaps why I haven’t picked it up yet. But let us know what you think when you finish.

Thanks Lesley. Anything that can keep our minds off the outrageous politics of DJT is good to try this month. Puzzles seem a good strategy. And I’m glad to hear you are working on your travel blog posts and photos. They’re always so good.
We watched about 4 episodes of Severance but then put it down for other things. Maybe we’ll return to it — I’m not sure. The White Lotus — Seasons 1,2, & 3 — are pretty mindless escapism-raunch, but sometimes that’s what we need during these times. I’m glad to get your take on the novel Bear. I’m not sure I will try it or not. Perhaps if it makes the shortlist, otherwise probably will pass.
The temps here have been up & down. But the days are good now that the snow is mostly gone. We are making gardening plans, lol. Hope you are have great days at the Cove & on your walks. Happy reading.
