I'm fine, why do you ask?


Tonight on TV (which I won't watch very much of in first run), I have Curse of Oak Island "The Signs of a Cross":


The team unearths a ship's log detailing the burial of treasure on an island similar to Oak Island. Later, Rick and Gary make what may prove to be the biggest find on Oak Island...

And Hunting Hitler "Nuclear Nazi Weapons":


A hydroelectric plant in Norway where the Nazis were close to producing a nuclear weapon is explored by Tim and Gerrard. Mike and James investigate a cabin high in the Austrian Alps where Hitler's associate made a sacrifice.

And This Is Us "Clooney":

Kate goes wedding dress shopping. Kevin embraces a new lifestyle while Randall explores William's past. Jack and Rebecca take the kids to the mall.


And Chicago Med "Over Troubled Water":


Dr. Charles is faced with a tough decision when a patient gives birth to a baby that is addicted to heroin — Dr. Charles feels pressure when Dr. Choi and Dr. Manning criticize his medical decision regarding an ill newborn baby. Dr. Rhodes comes to terms with his relationship issues. Goodwin helps Bert understand Lyla’s sickness.

But sleep comes first.


I started reading DREAMS OF THE GOLDEN AGE by Carrie Vaughn. 2nd of 2 in SFF series.


Like every teen, Anna has secrets. Unlike every teen, Anna has a telepath for a father and Commerce City's most powerful businessperson for a mother. She's also the granddaughter of the city's two most famous superheroes, the former leaders of the legendary Olympiad, and the company car drops her off at the gate of her exclusive high school every morning. Privacy is one luxury she doesn't have. Hiding her burgeoning superpowers from her parents is hard enough; how's she supposed to keep them from finding out that her friends have powers, too? Or that she and the others are meeting late at night, honing their skills and dreaming of becoming Commerce City's next great team of masked vigilantes? Like every mother, Celia worries about her daughter. Unlike every mother, Celia has the means to send Anna to the best schools and keep a close watch on her, every second of every day. At least Celia doesn't have to worry about Anna becoming a target for every gang with masks and an agenda, like Celia was at Anna's age. As far as Celia knows, Anna isn't anything other than a normal teen. Still, just in case, Celia has secretly awarded scholarships at Anna's private high school to the descendants of the city's other superpowered humans. Maybe, just maybe, these teens could one day fill the gap left by the dissolution of The Olympiad...

Have a good day
