I also love Krakauer and think climbing Everest is a fool’s errand. And February sucks, even in Florida, where it is arguably more enjoyable to be outside (in February— July is a different matter!). Thank you for writing :)
We've binge watched the more family-friendly shows during the last months, first Community and then Superstore. The problem with shows with so many seasons is eventually I just tune out.
I couldn't get enough of Michael Jordan's The Last Dance and the escapism of Lupin.
Fear of heights here! I cannot comprehend AT ALL why anyone would willingly do this. National Geographic recently had an article about Everest. I was nauseous- I’ll take your word on the Krakauer books. Thanks- I’m enjoying your insights!
Love your taste for footnotes!
I have a problem. :)

You are welcome to come up here in July. Our summers are a delight, which is what makes the winter tolerable.
I am currently binging Madam Secretary - https://www.cbs.com/shows/madam-secretary/ - because I want to be much more influential than I am. It is inspiring.
We binge-watched that series too. There’s much to love about that series- the storylines, the actors, the performances.
Its really wonderful! Mr. Madame Secretary is my fav character (and he's handsome).
also February SUCKS.
Freaking February.
You are the second and third persons who've recommended Madame Secretary. I should check it out.

I've heard many good things about Lupin. I'll need to check it out.

Thanks for reading!
There are times when I wish we had Amazon prime. This is one of them. Sounds like I need to request Jon K’s books from the library.
There is so much good content out there that not having one streaming service isn't that big of a loss. Other great options exist.
Also: with Jon K - I'm not a fan of Into the Wild, which is one of his books that is revered in certain circles. Start with Into Thin Air.
I read them years ago so pardon me for not clarifying that these would be re-reads.
