Thursday miscellanea #407

Mary Tyler Moore has died at 80. Laura Petrie was the sexiest sitcom wife ever, and Mary Richards was one of the most groundbreaking characters in television history. Thank you and goodbye to a primary cultural force of the second half of the 20th century. RIP.
This week I purchased some music I first encountered on Breaking Bad. It’s the self-titled debut solo album of Fever Ray, and the one that grabbed me was “If I Had a Heart.” It dates from 2009, so no new-and-hip points for me, but wow, what a cool song. Still exploring the rest of the record.
Aaron’s supraventricular tachycardia has made the pubescent appearance that we hoped we’d avoid. Since we’ve seen Dr. Israel, his son has also become a pediatric cardiologist and joined his practice. We liked him as immediately as we liked his dad. Aaron’s in “wait and see” mode for now. He’s only had one episode of about ten minutes’ duration, and Dr. Israel taught him some tricks he can try to break the fast rhythm if it happens again.
I am proud to renew my association with Rocket City Mom for 2017. My first restaurant review of the year will be up soon—watch for it—and I may even manage a column or two here and there.
I’m tiptoeing back into playing chess. I saw the Huntsville Chess Club was meeting much closer to me now. I renewed my U.S. Chess Federation and Internet Chess Club memberships. (Believe I’ll play for at least a few weeks before I show my face at a club meeting.)
I saw an old college friend today for the first time since 1991! Katie was in several of my Russian classes. It was great to catch up and laugh with her.
Supposed to feel like January again tomorrow.
