I have a problem. :)

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 :)

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.

Freaking February.

You are the second and third persons who've recommended Madame Secretary. I should check it out.

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.

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

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!

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.
