Didn't post last night. I was blitzed and just wanted to read more of the Thomas Steinbeck book, In the Shadow of the Cypress. It is a brilliant novel. It picks up a thread from the Silver Lotus and carries it through the end of the 19th century, into the beginnings of the 20th, and all the way into the 21st. It is a history mystery that is a page turner while coughing up a deluge of historical information and references to the Chinese people and how they work and think. I haven't been able to put it down.

I made the loop walk today. It's been a few days since I made the trek, but I'm back on schedule once again. And, intend to do so with classes as well.

Also just about finished a BBC short mystery series called Endeavor (but probably spelled the English way--Endeavour). It is a prequel series that depicts Inspector Morse as a young policeman/detective where he discovers and hones his intuitive skills as a puzzle solver. There are only a handful of episodes, but they are absorbing and well done.

Yesterday was spent in a haze, I feel. The day went by but nothing much registers. I did post a message on my new phone (1st one!). I think it went through. I got to everything a bit late yesterday, hence no posting and no distinct impressions. We went to the park for several hours (me, grandkid and ex). It was sunny and nice outdoors. I remember eating sporadically and off schedule. I recall that my daughter cooked up some mini-potpies that were tasty.

It's getting late now and I just want to continue reading the Cypress novel. Arrivederci to all and to all a good night!
