Waiting for the ride home ....



Tonight is TV night. First up, Curse of Oak Island, "Gary Strikes Again":


Excitement abounds when Gary uncovers what could be a "friend of the cross."
Then, This Is Us, "A Hell of a Week, Part 1":

Randall deals with anxiety.
And finally, New Amsterdam, "Hiding Behind My Smile":


Max and Luna make friends in an unexpected place as he struggles with the realities of being a single father. Meanwhile, Kapoor takes a big step in order to help his family.
On a side note, I believe Arrow is on its second-to-the-last episode ever tonight. I haven't watched  this season because it's kind gone off the rails, IMHO. Sad to see it go but it was time especially after Felicity left the show.



About to start PROFILES IN CORRUPTION: Abuse of Power by America's Progressive Elite by Peter Schweizer. Nonfiction.


For over a decade, the work of five-time New York Times bestselling investigative reporter Peter Schweizer has sent shockwaves through the political universe.
Clinton Cash revealed the Clintons’ international money flow, exposed global corruption, and sparked an FBI investigation. Secret Empires exposed bipartisan corruption and launched congressional investigations. And Throw Them All Out and Extortion prompted passage of the STOCK Act. Indeed, Schweizer’s “follow the money” bombshell revelations have been featured on the front pages of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, and regularly appear on national news programs, including 60 Minutes.
Now Schweizer and his team of seasoned investigators turn their focus to the nation’s top progressives—politicians who strive to acquire more government power to achieve their political ends.
Can they be trusted with more power?
In Profiles in Corruption, Schweizer offers a deep-dive investigation into the private finances, and secrets deals of some of America’s top political leaders. And, as usual, he doesn’t disappoint, with never-before-reported revelations that uncover corruption and abuse of power—all backed up by a mountain of corporate documents and legal filings from around the globe. Learn about how they are making sweetheart deals, generating side income, bending the law to their own benefits, using legislation to advance their own interests, and much more.
Published 2020. 368 pages. This guy is the real deal. His books are momentous and backed by research.

I started the new bead crochet bracelet last night. A) I've been doing only 6-bead circumferences. This patter is 14-bead circumference. Apparently it makes a difference. I'm struggling with it a bit. B) The gorgeous purple color bead are losing their color. Scraping off. Pissing me off.



Have a good day



Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
