Watching: Last night I watched the final episode of "Etoile" on Amazon Prime. This series, from the Palladinos, show runners of, among other things, the wonderful "The Amazing Mrs. Maisal," was cancelled after one season. It's a shame. I would really love to see what happens next. It has good characters, and it's funny and smart, and there's all the ballet stuff. It's probably the dance aspect that brought it down: ballet is not America's Pastime, shall we say. Or maybe it was just too hifalutin in general; I mean, how big an audience is there for the likes of shoutouts to Umbrellas of Cherbourg?
[Sigh.]
Debate: Bigle X ended satisfactorily. I spent the boring drive home wondering how Kaz, Lexington's coach, can make this boring drive easily eighty or ninety weekends during the season. Other than that, there's not much to report. Catholic Charlie and I challenged Kaz on the idea that there is no room more comfortable for tab than the one she always throws us into, but she insists there isn't. Nowhere on Lexington's campus is there a comfy chair for a poor overworked educator during normal working hours?
Feh.
Music: I realized this morning that I get a lot of my suggestions for music to add to the audit queue from reading the obituaries. Ralph Towner, guitarist for the group Oregon, just passed away. Having never heard of Ralph Towner or Oregon made it a shoo-in for listening at some unknown future date. Whether this is major ignorance on my part or not, I cannot tell. There are more things on Heaven and Earth, Horatio...
