The following is a post I sent to Adrienne. Her blog is an example of what I loved about the idea of a family blog. I loved seeing her blog! I feel I got a peek of her new married life and her happiness makes me happy. Sharing like this enlarges our lives. Of course, I realize Adrienne is a darn good blogger! She has had some good examples from her Bradford relatives. But we could all stand to learn from each other.
We had the Northern Exposure series on disks we have both watched and had in common. It is hard to breach the age difference, but that helped some. Anyway, I answered her when she told me they were almost through the series. She said some of the episodes at near the end felt like the writers were getting tired. I answered:
"there was a stage there toward the end when there were episodes that didn't seem very good. But it does finish with a few good ones. Wait and see. It was an ending I wouldn't have expected early on. Actually not till nearly the end.

I haven't found any other sit com worth watching. But we haven't tried many. What I'm into is lectures or interviews I find on the net. These are scientific or historical. I found one that pleased me greatly. It is a book called "The Ark of Million of Years" I heard the guy, Brooks Agnew, interviewed and it sounded interesting. They had a special where you could download the first two books free if you bought the third. I ordered it, because it sounded like a lot of stuff to listen to. I listened to the first book and kept thinking, "some of this is familiar", as I got into it the author started citing Book of Mormon, and other Mormon scriptures right along with the other ancient texts he was using. It was like "Well, da, Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, D and C are just as valid as anything else out there." No substantiation at all. Fun. This is what I predict. The internet is like that stone your father (Glen T) likes to think about that lets us
know all things. Many many ancient texts are now available and being translated into English and put on the web for anyone to study. The "ask and ye shall find folks, called "seekers" can now find answers. It is a new age. I'm glad my life at least can hit the beginning of it.
