Day 167 – Jim’s Trek – And The Schwinn Trek Continues

Good Day,

This morning I cycled a wee bit farther than normal, 21.9 miles and I am in Saskatchewan on Highway 668. I am located on Canpolex Road, east of the Dellwood Reservoir. Definitely not a too trafficked road, the way I like it. I’m headed in a southerly direction and am now about 17 miles from my next Interlake address goal.

Here are my current stats on the 167th Day.

Total Direct Miles to Seattle	To Date	TD Miles Remaining	% TD Miles Completed	Interlake Miles to Seattle	Weight (lbs)
3,301.0	3,040.9	1,125.0	72.9%	4,165.9	162.2

The adage of getting old seems to always be “I’m just so, so busy. I do not have enough time to do the things I need to do.” My maxim is “I chose to be busy. I do not have enough time to do the things I want to do.”

Blood sugar count this morning: 99… down from 128 yesterday. Day 2 of 75% reduction in diabetes medication.

Supper last night – Zucchini, Oil-cured Olives, and Romain Salad with homemade dressing. I used a ton of stuff to make a comparable dressing in the same range as an Olive Gardens-type dressing. Instead of mayonnaise I used cream cheese. Entrée – Cheese ravioli with Prosciutto and Mushrooms in an olive oli and butter pesto sauce. We do eat well in this house…

Here is a question – I’m not a blue-blood fan of Yahoo. I use Tumblr. Yahoo is rumored to be in position to buy Tumblr for $1.1 billion. Should the purchase go through, will I continue to use Tumblr? I also use Tumblr for Jim’s Trek, A Genealogy Hunt, and Quilts SB.

I finished the second half of Valhalla Rising on my Trek this morning. Most certainly not a film for the faint-of-heart. As I watched, it reminded of elements of Ingmar Bergman’s Seventh Seal. And I missed Game of Thrones episode last night as I was watching PBS’ Mr. Selfridge. Thankfully I have On Demand and I was able to see the first part of the next episode of Game of Thrones. And truthfully I enjoyed the Mr. Selfridge which can be considered on par with Downton Abbey.

Be healthy and enjoy,

Jim

Day 135 – Jim’s Trek – 20.8 Miles – iPhone Diagnosis

Good Day,


This morning I truly did not want to get on my Schwinn 150 and continue with my Trek… but I pulled myself up on the cycle and I completed 20.8 miles. I burned 602 calories. I endure, and so bloody glad that I did. I kept repeating to myself: I have to do this, I have to do this, I have to do this. Total mileage completed to date is 2,370.9.

I am headed north on ND 18 N and just about at 59th Street NE.

According to an interpretation of my Physical Biorhythm is that I am recharging in my low period. I am moving upwards into my positive range and should move into the “better” half of the cycle within the next couple of days. Today I am at, according to my biorhythm, at a “Physical low phase”. I need to “rest, regenerate powers, accumulate energy.”

The graph is from MultiBiorhythm.

And I do like the quote of the day attributed to Albert Einstein –

If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.

Thank you PC for sending me the following about Dr. Eric Topol and the technology of the future of medicine. Check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=r13uYs7jglg Amazing!!!

The Tudors episode update – England takes Bologne. Henry’s getting old. The Catholics are plotting to burn the heretics, and the beat goes on.

Day 134 – Jim’s Trek – 20.5 Miles - And I Love to Cook

Good Day,

This morning I cycled on my Schwinn 150 through Larimore, North Dakota. My 20.5 miles today has me now located, headed north on 37th Street NE and just north of 20th Avenue NE. I am now approximately 209 miles from my next Interlake address goal. Stay tuned to see if I make this 20th Goal.

My numbers are stable and constant, this morning. I have completed 71.2% of my original Tampa to Seattle Trek. I am now beginning to add some extra miles and more Interlake address goals.

Supper, last night, was Vietnamese Stir-Fried Scallops on Rice noodles. Damn, I really do love to cook… especially when I too enjoy the meal. I love to experiment with food… and always dare myself to try something new.

The Tudors – Henry and England goes to war against France. Queen Catherine is left in charge… Obviously this war dragged out for some time as the episode ends with Henry surveying the battlefield and the ramparts of Boulogne.

Be healthy and enjoy,

Jim

Day 133 – Jim’s Trek – 20.9 Miles – 19th Interlake Goal Achieved

Good Day,

I completed my Trek miles today and then I spent the remainder of the morning and early afternoon babysitting my Grandson. Play time, lunch fed and play time again, Grandpa is certainly due for a nap. The Kid was out like a light. And now I am seated writing up my Schwinn 150 Trek.

I burned, pre-Kid, 601 calories and I cycled 20.9 miles. I reached my 19th Interlake address goal this morning. From my starting point I first cycled on my Schwinn 150 13.7 miles to Interlake Road in Hatton, North Dakota. I had to back track to County Highway 8 for the remainder of my morning miles. I have now completed a total of 2,329.6 miles. I am now located and headed north on County Highway 8.

I'm somewhere in the west of North Dakota. I am southwest of the City of Grand Forks, ND.

Henry VIII obviously had something for women who had the name Catherine. He, in this episode of The Tudors meets, soon to be widow, Catherine Parr. The Catholics in power are trying to stamp any shred of Protestantism. I don’t know if there was some dramatic license, but I never realized the amount of torture that may have been used during the period of the English Reformation.

Red fabric arrived, washed and the blocks for our Equality quilt are in process. Minor changes to the original design have been made, specifically to create interesting corners. The design for our new quilt Waterfall is well on the way.

Scallops for dinner tonight.

Be healthy, and enjoy.

Day 132 – Jim’s Trek – 20.2 Miles – 69.94% Completed On My Schwinn 150

Good Day,

This morning on Day 132 of my Schwinn 150 Trek I burned off 600 calories; translated 20.2 miles. I am located at N Dakota 18 N/N Dakota 200 W, northwest of Portland, North Dakota. My Google image doesn’t show much white on the ground. The temperature at Portland is now 31°F and there is a 90% chance of snow. One thing positive about the white stuff, the pollen count is 1 out of 12… On the other hand, the pollen count in Tampa is 8.5 out of 12. Bless you.

I think the weather reporting at Wunderground is a bit screwy. It is reporting that the temperature right now at my home in Tampa is 96.3°F. I think that someone incorrectly entered the external thermometer.

This morning I have now hit 69.94% of my original Tampa to Seattle goal. My total miles clocked to date are 2,308.7. I will probably hit my 19th Interlake address goal tomorrow.

Yesterday I was playing songs for CK on my iPhone… As soon as Bob Marley’s Buffalo Soldiers began, CK was smiling and bouncing… and he appeared to be singing each time the chorus began “Woy, yoy, yoy…”


The Tudors – Scratch off Dereham, Culpeper, Lady Northrup, and Catherine Howard.  Chopped off heads, hangings, and quartering.  That was this episode. New season of The Borgias began... Somewhat confusing, more people dying and being killed. I also started watching the new PBS miniseries Mr. Selfridge about the creation of a new-type of department store in 1908 London. And Game of Thrones, Season 3 and Episode 3 is confusing. Some much information, so little time. And did someone say I was NOT into series?

Waiting for red fabric for our Equality quilt. To be delivered today. First draft of Waterfall quilt completed. Cosmo’s Moon quilt wall hanging is now undergoing our final examine before shipping. To date 2,923 people have tuned in and checked out our Cosmo’s Moon on Quilts SB Facebook. I need to examine the status of all our quilts and wall hangings in progress. Tune in to Quilts SB.

I am now examining a remake of my A Genealogy Hunt site. This will take some time as I have already posted 1,063 Posts. Thank you Bernard and Kathrine. I will definitely take suggestions.

Be healthy and enjoy,

Jim

Day 120 – Jim’s Trek – 20.6 Miles – Still in the Fields of Minnesota

Good Day,

I just wanted to make sure that I burned 600 calories on my Schwinn 150 Trek this morning. And so, my morning's miles equaled 20.6. My time is 1 hour and 8 minutes on this 120th Day of my Tampa to Seattle Trek.

My location this morning is still in the State of Minnesota on Highway 55 West between 190th Street NE and 182nd Street NE. I believe that there is about 56 more miles to my next Interlake address goal.

The Label B marks my current location on my Tampa to Seattle Trek. The map shows my direct route, without including all my Interlake address goals. I am at 62.4% of my original Trek.

Supper last night – Grilled tenderloin steaks smothered in garlic butter mushrooms and Colcannon with kale. Blood sugar still maintaining an average of 100 and my belly measurement, without sucking it in, is holding at 36 inches, down from 44.

The English commoners and Roman Catholic adherents have risen up against King Henry in The Tudors. Cromwell is elevated in rank but Henry warns him with his life. With Anne Boleyn out of the way, Henry marries Jane Seymour but she has to wait for her coronation to Queen.

Just got the news in the mail that our quilt EssbeeCon has been selected to be judged in the “Above & Beyond” competition at the Denver National Festival Quilt Festival, May 2-5, 2013.

Be healthy and enjoy,

Jim

Day 119 – Jim’s Trek – 20.5 Miles – I’m In The Middle of Somewhere - Minnesota

Good Day,

And I now I am in Minnesota and the 20.5 miles this morning on my Trek has me located in the midst of some farm fields on US 22. I’m headed north.  Total miles to date - 2,039.7,

On my Schwinn 150 Trek this morning, I, supposedly, burned 600 calories. My weight appears to be remaining constant and my blood sugar is definitely being kept at the norm. But would someone please turn off the pollen.

Our quilts: Colored Windows II, Coral Steps, and MEM911, are ready to be shipped to the International Quilt Festival of Ireland. Metropolis is complete and in line for delivery to HMQS in Utah. Cosmos’ Moon is in the final stages of being quilted. And our new design, Quilted Equality is now in process. Check out our status and updates at Quilts SB.

And yes today is April Fool’s Day, but it is also Fun at Work Day. My question, doesn’t this sound like a double whammy for getting nothing done on the job?

Today watching The Tudors, Natalie Dormer, Queen Anne, loses her position as Queen, and loses her head. Henry has cast her aside for Jane Seymour. Ms. Dormer obviously follows her royal lineages as, last night in the premier of the new season of Game of Thrones she is now Margaery Tyrell and betrothed to King Joffery Baratheon, the little wacko. Definitely a case of female characters more concerned with the power of the crown, historically and in fantasy.

Be healthy and enjoy,

Jim

Day 118 – Jim’s Trek – 20.5 Miles On Easter Morn

Good Day,

This Easter morning I completed my 20.5 miles on my Schwinn 150… and I’m looking forward toward a great Easter Brunch. This morning I am headed west on Highway US-12, also 50th St. SW in Minnesota. I made it through the city of Cokato. And Cokato’s claim to fame, the Aho Family whose 12 sons all played football at the local high school over the period of more than two decades. The Aho Family is actually a bit more than 2% of the total population of Cokato.

I am located on US-12 W headed toward 738th Avenue. I’m coming up on Dassel, Minnesota. And it is 32° F and mostly cloudy in Dassel. Tampa is 66° F and I’m indoors.

My mileage total today, on this beautiful day in Tampa, is 2,019.2. I never did think that I would clock this many miles on my Trek from Tampa to Seattle. Only 39% of my goal left to go and 98 more miles to my next Interlake address goal.

This episode of The Tudors increased the number of heads rolling to five. Henry is cleaning house and Queen Anne is now confined to the Tower of London.

Enjoy your Easter, and be healthy,

Jim

Day 117 – Jim’s Trek – 20.5 Miles – Headed Northwest on My Schwinn 150

Good Day,

Once again I have completed 20.5 miles on my Trek on my Schwinn 150. I left the banks of Lafayette Bay and have reached the intersection of 60th Street SE, U.S. 12, and SE Brighton Avenue. I’m in the middle of farmland. Total miles to date equals 1,998.7.

My stats -

Total Direct Miles to Seattle	To Date	TD Miles Remaining	% TD Miles Completed	Interlake Miles Left to Seattle	Weight (lbs)
3,301.0	1,998.7	1,302.3	60.55%	4,000.6	166.6

And today is National Doctors’ Day. But today is Saturday… Are doctors’ offices opened on the weekend? I supposed one could write a note of appreciation to one’s personal MD on this, also, Pencil Day. Do you think we can survive without our keyboard for one day?

Queen Anne loses another child and Henry now believes that there is a black omen over their marriage. I am amazed at the writing of The Tudors. It appears that the women in Henry’s life are pawns, used by their fathers and brothers to secure favors and positions in Henry’s court.

Be healthy and enjoy.

Day 116 – Jim’s Trek – 20.5 Miles – Two Interlake Goals – Numbers 16 and 17

Good Day,

Two for the price of 20.5 miles on my Schwinn 150! This morning I hit my next two, number 16 and 17, Interlake address goals on my Trek to Seattle. Number 16 is Interlachen Boulevard, in Edina and 15.6 miles toward the northwest my Number 17, just off Manitou Road, is Interlachen Lane. My total 20.5 miles has me at a location on Shadywood Road at Lafayette Bay.

Number 16 – Interlachen Boulevard, Edina, Minnesota

Number 17 – Interlachen Lane at Manitou Road, Minnesota

My location Day 116 – Shadywood Road at Lafayette Bay, Minnesota

My total mileage to date is 1,978.2. I have now completed 60% of my original Tampa to Seattle Trek goal.

Someone please explain to me… On March 29, 1848 blocks of river ice caused Niagara Falls to come to a stop, and now celebrated every 29th of March is Niagara Falls Runs Dry Day. Why? What type of celebrations and parties does one have when a major source of power comes to a complete stop? It seems that a number of websites and blogs are posting about the Dry Day but no one seems to address the issue of what does one do to have a celebration. Since St. Patrick’s Day was a couple of weeks ago, could it be that Niagara Falls Runs Dry Day is the antithesis?

Update – The Tudors. Queen, excuse me, Lady Catherine of Aragon passes away. Queen Anne dreams of her death and then announces that she is once again pregnant. Henry meets Jane Seymour. And Cromwell purges England of all Roman Catholic land holdings and organizations. Season 4 of Game of Thrones is just about to start.

Our third pass of quilting of Cosmos' Moon is now completed on our Longarm. We are now transferring it to one of our Domestic machines. I am working on three new designs. You'll have to check back and check Quilts SB to find out later.

Be healthy, and enjoy.

Day 115 – Jim’s Trek – 20.5 Miles – 15th Interlake Goal Achieved

Good Day,

Today I completed another 20.5 miles on my Trek on my Schwinn 150. I began this morning’s journey just south of Chanhassen, Minnesota. I crossed over Lyman Boulevard and headed north, then west, then north to my 15th Interlake address goal. This goal is Inter Laken Street at Rolling Acres Road in Victoria, Minnesota. But this was not the end of my morning’s 20.5 miles.

I am now located, after turning northeast, at about Hopkins, Minnesota. I’m on Highway 7 just about 17th Avenue North. Why am I heading east, you ask when Seattle is to my west? My next Interlake address goal was just too close to by pass on my overall Trek. I shall hit my 16th goal tomorrow.

Well today we are supposed to celebrate Weed Appreciation Day. I'll be damned, with dripping eyes, a drippy nose, and all my sneezing that I will be thankful for any weeds at this time of year. But I do like a salad with dandelion greens.

The talks between Henry and Queen Anne Boleyn are getting more and more heated. This weeks episode of The Tudors includes the excommunication of Henry from the See in Rome.

I'm trying to remember the name of the artist who did the original of the above work. About 40 years ago I created this piece of cut-work for a class I was teaching regarding the art of stain-glass windows. Certainly would appreciate any help?

Be healthy, and enjoy,

Jim

Day 114 – Jim’s Trek – 20.5 Miles – 14th Interlake (Sort Of) Goal in Lakeville, Minnesota

Good Day,

And this morning, on the 114th Day my Trek on my Schwinn 150 I reached my 14th Interlake, actually Interlachen, goal in Lakeville, Minnesota. The direct mileage from Tampa is 1,558.0, but including my Interlake goals my total mileage reached at this point is 1,916.0. (Yes I know that Interlachen is not Interlake... but it is pretty damn close.)

Including my total 20.5 this morning, I have now totaled 1,937.2 miles. My location at present, and I’m headed north, is at the intersection of the Great Plains Boulevard and Pioneer Trail. I’m in Chanhassen, Minnesota. I’m right next to the Halla Greens Executive Golf Course and Driving Range.

And today I pleased to realize that I have now dropped another ½” on my belly or waist measurement. Not bad that in 114 days I have gone from 44” to 36”… I wonder what the measurement will be when I reach Seattle.

And today is National Joe (or Jo) Day. What can I say? It also is World Theatre Day which was established in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute.


The Tudors, minus two more heads, Fisher and Moore. The Henry and Anne Boleyn thing seems to be waning, but if you aren’t for Henry, in Henry's mind, what other choice is there? The Headsman.

On to my next Interlake goal as I keep heading on toward my final goal of Seattle.

Be healthy and enjoy.

Jim

Day 113 – Jim’s Trek – 20.5 Miles – Make Up Your Own Holiday Day

Good Day,

This morning on my Trek on my Schwinn 150 I am headed west on 160th Street West at the intersection of Galaxie Avenue in Apple Valley, Minnesota. Population of Apple Valley, per the 2010 Census, was about 50 thousand and Money Magazine named it the 20th best place to live in the United States.

I'm almost at my 14th Goal and my total mileage is at 1,916.7. It seems weird that the 2,000 mile mark is not that far away.

I'm writing up my Trek a bit later today… Just got back from lunch. Today is my pride and joy’s birthday… and it is as bloody cold here in Tampa as it was the day he was born 1,861 miles north in the frigid land above the border. Happy Birthday, JK.

Today is wear Red Day. Also today is Make up your own Holiday Day… And I definitely decided that it is time to celebrate I wanna be warm day.

Princess Elizabeth is baptized and Henry’s and Anne’s line is now declared the correct line of succession. Politics, sex, allegiances, graft are what make the world of The Tudors go round… Not much has changed. Ethics are always in the mind of the beholder... Just ask Ms. M. Bachmann.

I have had to add a pillow to my seat at my PC. It appears that my daily cycling is chaffing the parts of me that sit on the saddle during my Trek… and it hurts. Either that or I’m beginning to lose the weight on the parts of my body where it sort of counts.

Be healthy, warm, and enjoy.

Jim

Day 112 – Jim’s Trek – 20.5 Miles – Waffles and Our Lady and Hobbits

Good Day,

Sometimes my mind is barren, devoid of any possible idea or thought to write about when I sit down at my desk and put my fingers on the keyboard. I know that I am daily producing type on a figment of paper somewhere in the annals of Internetland but I wonder if I am beginning to dry up.

This morning, on my Schwinn 150, and having completed 20.5 more miles in my Trek, I am on Red Wing Boulevard just about at the intersection of Michael Avenue. Red Wing Avenue is also MN-316 N. And we are having a cold snap in Tampa… but the 25° F at Rosemount, Minnesota this morning, at about 10 am, is just plain cold.

My next 14th Interlake address goal is on the short horizon. This morning I have completed 57.4% of my total Tampa to Seattle goal.

And today we can celebrate Waffle Day. This celebration began in Sweden due to confusion in the actual pronunciation of the correct day “Our Lady’s Day”. Våffeldagen – Waffle Day and Vårfrudagen – Our Lady’s Day… So does this mean that as one asks for intercession of Mary one feasts on waffles stacked and drenched in sugary maple syrup? Oh and by the way Nathan, today is also Tolkien Reading Day. Waffles, penance, and Hobbits?

Last night for supper, and I haven’t tried the Egyptian Koshari, as yet, I created a dish that was actually quite decent – Red chili rice with shrimp and bacon. This is a Rick Bayless recipe and I did make the salsa prior to including it as one of the key ingredients. And yes I would make this again…

The Tudors - Henry secretly marries Anne Boleyn... Cranmer and Cromwell take up the key advisory positions. The Reformation has begun. Was it coincidental that the pearls around Anne's neck, at her coronation as Queen, a production underlined-theme or just a dotted line?

Be healthy and enjoy,

Jim

Day 111 – Jim’s Trek – 20.5 Miles – Red Wing, Minnesota

Good Day,

This morning in Tampa if certainly feels like the cusp of the rainy season; clouds, rain, humidity, blasts of warm air. But the weather prognosticators insist that the coming week will be a dip in temperature once again. Even the Old Farmer’s Almanac is predicting our, I think, 5th winter. (That’s when the temperature goes below 50° F.)

This morning my 20.5 miles on my Schwinn 150 spots me on Main Street in Red Wing, Minnesota. My total mileage today racks up at 1,875.7. The City of Red Wing is on the Mississippi River… It certainly has changed since 1860.

Today is Chocolate Covered Raisins Day… and I missed yesterday’s celebration, but I think it should be celebrated anyway. It was Near Miss Day. Something to do about an asteroid missing the Earth in 1989. What about yesterday in Delaware? Guess they celebrated their near miss.

Episode Two of Season Two of The Tudors… Same sub-plots – politics, reformation, sex, in-favor and out-of-favor. Nothing too much original.

Be healthy and enjoy,

Jim

Day 110 – Jim’s Trek – 20.5 Miles – Where's Pepie?

Good Day,

The thunderstorms have started… but I’m still sneezing and wheezing from the high pollen count. My nose is off by three months and definitely able to shine red in the dark.

My Trek on my Schwinn 150 this morning and my 20.5 miles has me hugging, almost the shored of Lake Pepin on the Minnesota side. Lake Pepin is described as the widest naturally occurring part of the Mississippi River. History has it that this is the home to the lake monster, Pepie, first seen in April 1871. My location is on US 61 North and at the southwest end of Lake City.

I think for supper tonight I’m going to try and make Koshari. It’s an Egyptian dish of pasta, pulses, and rice with a spicy tomato sauce. Should be interesting… Check back to hear the verdict.

My visual accompaniment began with the Second Season of The Tudors. After a quick summary of Season One the first episode moved right into the precipice of Henry’s Reformation. Will Henry marry Anne Boleyn? Of course, he will, we know the history…

Cosmos’ Moon has been loaded to our Longarm. A first basting has been done and all thread shades have been chosen. Metropolis is now hanging on our new quilt stand.

Be healthy, and enjoy

Jim

Day 109 – Jim’s Trek – 20.5 Miles – Allergies and Water

Good Day,

And today is my peak day with running eyes, dripping nose, sneezing, and sneezing, and sneezing once again. Spring must have sprung… because I am taking additional stock in Kleenex.

This morning I, once again, was able to increase my daily mileage and reduce my total time on my Schwinn 150. Today’s mileage – 20.5, and time – 1 hour 6 minutes. My location is now south of Kellogg, Minnesota… Just great, but not the Tony Tiger Kellogg! That’s in Michigan. I’m on U.S. 61 somewhere in the McCarthy Lake State Wildlife Management Area.

I’ve got 84 more miles to go to get to my next Interlake address goal and just about 1,470 miles left to complete my original Tampa to Seattle Trek. I just noted that I am a short distance to the west of Halfmoon Lake in Minnesota. I wonder if there are any similarities to the Halfmoon Lake just west of my home in Tampa. And how apropos, today is the World Day for Water.

My stats -

Total Direct Miles to Seattle	To Date	TD Miles Remaining	% TD Miles Completed	Interlake Miles Left to Seattle	Weight (lbs)
3,301.0	1,834.7	1,466.3	55.58%	4,164.6	166.6

Finale of Season One of The Tudors and everything and everyone is still pursing the same. Henry is slowly beginning to believe that the Church is not necessarily the intercedent agent between man and the divine. Politics is taking its toll and Moore appears to be ousting Wolsey as the bad guy. Today’s Saint of the Day is St. Nicholas Owen who was also known as Little John. He is remembered for building a number of “priest holes.”

Projects for today… Genealogy - Half-Triple Great-Grandaunt Elizabeth Huard. Quilting – Thread matching for Cosmos’ Moon, design work for Rán, try to organize fabric room.

Be healthy and enjoy,

Jim

Day 108 - Jim's Trek - 20.3 Miles - Winona, Minnesota

Good Day,

Well I finished another 20.3 miles this morning on my Schwinn 150 Trek. My total Trek miles 1,814.2. I am still stupefied that I am actually keeping to my schedule of doing it every single day. Even this morning, as I had a relatively early appointment, I actually got up earlier than normal to make sure that I could fulfil my commitment to myself. And I just realized that this Trek is my Trek, my commitment to myself and no one else.

This morning I began at Dakota, Minnesota. My 20.3 miles takes me to the intersection of US 14 West and Peltzer Street, just about between the cities of Winona and Goodview. Total mileage to date 1,814.2.

An interesting piece of note is that The Minnesota Marine Art Museum, in Winona, may host one of the finest collections of Canadian maritime painting outside Canada. Winona is also known as the stained glass capital of the United States. Wonder if there may be some ideas for some quilt designs.

Today’s episode of The Tudors has Cardinal Wolsey falling contemptuously out of grace of Henry, of Catherine, of Anne, and everybody else... and he can’t understand why. I’ve also been able to catch up with the episodes of Continuum. This last episode, number 9 helped me to understand who was who and how he or she may be related to characters from 2012 and 2077.

And now back to my genealogy search and quilting work.

Be healthy, and enjoy,

Jim
