Does it bother anyone besides me when people say they βgot a pit in my stomachβ instead of the more proper βbad feeling IN the pit of my stomachβ? I see or hear this corrupted use more and more often these days and it sets my teeth on edge!

Snow!
We have gone from a spring-like winter to a winter-like spring. The ski season that seemed on its last gasp has gotten a shot in the arm so weβll be taking advantage of it.
Though inside I am bemoaning the postponement of spring.

Getting jealous looking at all your pretty plants.
Iβm looking at newly emerging crocus and daffodil greens at my house, and 6β snow at the lake cottage covering my Iris patches and the new daffodil bulbs I planted last fall. They may or may not do well this year.

As usual, the speculation mounts to such a frenzy that when the Royal chooses to speak about it, itβs almost anticlimactic. I can understand Kate and William wanting to shield their young children from anxiety resulting from classmatesβ questions once the news was out, so they waited till spring break closed the school to fess up.

Another animated film, Elemental, a Disney/Pixar collaboration that creates a whole nuther world in which all the βpeopleβ are from one of four tribes, Fire, Air, Water and Earth. The fact that these are the classical four elements is never mentioned, so I guess thatβs for the adults in the audience.
The heroine βEmberβ is a fire person, the daughter of a shop owner who hopes to take over the shop - if she can learn to control her temper and exasperation with the customers. A crisis strikes the shop when a water pipe breaks and out pops a water person βWadeβ who happens to be the cityβs water inspector. He immediately cites the shop for multiple code violations and we soon meet the mayor who is an air person. This takes place at a ball game (rather like Harry Potterβs Quidditch) between two teams of air people.
The fire daughter and the water inspector become sweet on each other - his family is warm and welcoming toward her, but her family is skeptical. (The earth people have almost no action, just stand around sprouting trees and flowers and smiling a lot.)
There are lots of positive messages about inclusiveness and impulse control, and a happy ending (which I woke up to see), plus a really nice song performed by Lauv βSteal The Showβ.
I loved a similar message film Wall*E, and wasnβt as moved by Elemental.

Non-fiction for a change: Amanda Knox is the American college student arrested in Italy for the murder of her roommate and who spent 4 years in prison for a crime she didnβt commit. Written from the journal she kept throughout the experience.

AIR, the story of how Nike courted Michael Jordanβs mama to get him to endorse their shoes. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as Nike execs and Viola Davis as Ma Jordan. Really well done. Nice β80βs nostalgia montage at the start.

Just finished the fourth and final season of Succession, and though it won lots of Emmy awards and others said its conclusion was satisfying, we found it not up to the standards of the earlier seasons, and not satisfying at all. The plot was all over the map and totally unbelievable and confirmed for us that all of the main characters were unlikeable. They deserved each other and what they got in the end.

Iβm enjoying this one very much. Itβs set in a small southern city with a controversial confederate general statue that is mysteriously destroyed during a rare winter ice storm that causes an odd cast of characters to have to cohabit in a new widowβs home until the ice melts and the power comes back on.
