What I'm Watching and Reading

Last June, I finally broke down and purchased a flat-screen TV. I can now scratch this off as one of the new technologies I do not have! I must admit...it is wonderful, especially since I have the kind that allows instant streaming (with Netflix). Needless to say, summer days with their heat and humidity have kept me indoors watching a lot of Netflix. I must recommend my latest viewing habit, Foyle's War. This detective series, set in England from the beginning of World War II until a year or so after, do an excellent job of showing how the homefront dealt with the weight of war. Every episode has something good to offer, and while most are excellent, some far a bit short. Still, I can not recommend this highly enough. Good TV! Oh, and what am I reading? Mark Edmundson, Why Teach? C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity Ian Mortimer, The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England
