Wow, I just realized I'm rusty on something I used to love studying...

I used to study ancient Britain, Wales, Scotland and Ireland as well as the Roman invasion of the isles.

I'm watching a PBS show that put my mind to the test.

Albion->Britannia-> England
Cymry-> Cambria-> Wales
Alba->Caledonia->Scotland
Eriu->Hibernia->Ireland

The Vikings called Scotland "Pictland".

I really need to go back and read about the raids, the clans and Boudicca.
In my neighborhood, we have a luncheonette called The Hibernian Deli. It was opened by a Mexican family. That just cracked me up. The head of the family started out in construction and worked with a lot of Irish guys. So he decided to open a place that catered to homesick Irishman. The fare is Irish, American and Mexican. I used to love the chicken mole. It was very mild. But since the son has started cooking, it's gotten a little too spicy for me. I haven't been there in awhile. I imagine they are doing well because our Irish and Central American population has gotten larger.



Watching NOVA and a Norwegian seismitologist is talking about a earthquake in Japan cause tsunami type waves in a fjord..

Made me think of

I’m watching Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat. It feels more like a video essay than a documentary and it feels longer than it needs to be. Anyone else seen it yet?



Now watching The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

I'm watching Teacher's Pet (2025) on Tubi. Only 7 people have logged it on imdb and only 2 people on Letterboxd. It could be a hidden gem!



Just got back from donating blood, enjoying a cuppa joe ☕ and watching The Red Green Show with my son..


Taking him to see Dog Man (2025) later this afternoon. Bracing for another possible snowstorm later in the week ❄️

I went to a movie theatre I had never been to before yesterday and saw I'm Still Here. It was a nice theatre and the movie was excellent.

It's a true story about a woman in Brazil in the 70s whose husband is taken by the government. It got 3 Oscar nominations, including best picture.
