LOOKING FORWARD TO MARCH
This week I started drinking turmeric tea as well as chai. I never drank loose leaf- I don't have a filter or specific tea pot.
I also listened to people talk about ZOOM bombers (people who drop into ZOOM calls uninvited) and how platforms like JTSU don't have waiting rooms or passwords unless you upgrade your account.
I also got on the topic of Dirty Dancing' and the Catskills and how a lot of Comedians got their start in the Catskills and used something called Borscht Belt humor which refers to the rapid-fire, self-deprecating style.

That's my week. Tell me about yours in the comments below.
CURRENTLY
I liked Vanishing Half once I took a closer look at it a year later. A virtual club was reading it and boy the dynamics in this family. I loved that one of the characters was a bounty hunter. I think in a previous life I may have been a bounty hunter.
I have to admit that I loved this story: 'A Love letter to Whiskey'--very steamy and I loved the fact that it takes place in San Diego, my all time favorite vacation spot.(My brother was stationed in Camp Pendelton-so we often stayed there)
I think I need to look into Borscht Belt humor, sounds like something I'd love.
ReplyDeleteTotally Karen. I should look up Borscht Belt comedians this very minute.
DeleteI wonder if people either like coffee or tea. Does anyone love both? I've always been a coffee drinker, but I've never gotten into tea. Is it too late?
ReplyDeleteI Love to Eat sounds like a delightful show. I will see what else I can find out about it.
Vanishing Half is certainly intriguing.
Have a great week!
You need to try tea, because you can see outrageous amounts of it throughout the day and not get jittery.
DeleteZoombombers....I've never heard of that before.
ReplyDeleteIts a thing. some of them get real creative, with creepy -halloween-isk music. I read somewhere that people find the online world as a venue to do more anonymous crime and things in general that they wouldn't normally do, even the good turn bad.
DeleteI met my husband in the Catskills many years ago :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books and have a great week!
I loved hearing that you met your hubby at the Catskills. Its on my bucket list now.
DeleteI'm not much of a tea drinker but I do enjoy chai. I read The Vanishing Half last month and thought it was pretty good too. Hope you have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got to read it. Book clubs really push me to read new material and help me think outside of the box. I'd say my ability to empathize is at an 8 of 10 thanks to reading.
DeleteI was so impressed to hear you've been dancing for so long! That's most probably all part of your love for theatre. It's a bug hey, once it bit you, you can never let it go.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week and safe travels!
Its true Elza, I had someone ask me if I'd like to review more dance shows and I was like 'heck ya' and ever since I've been blown away but the talent in the Twin Cities.
