    Nah....that was 'right to the moon' if I remember right. Tereshkova just went into orbit!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Thoroughly enjoyed Hell of Wheels. Heyerdahl's Swede character is so delightfully evil!

    Today in History

    I find the same thing in Toronto. The used book stores tend to know what they have. All of my best finds have been in thrift stores. I wouldn't really call myself a book collector but I can't resist a signed book or a classic modern first edition.

    Just watched a BBC documentary, "Cosmonauts: How Russia won the space race". Very interesting program.

    Today in History

    The Globe and Mail has a regular feature called "Moments in Time" and today it featured the publication of Nineteen Eighty Four, otherwise I wouldn't have known. The copy I found is the 1949 Canadian first edition in reasonable condition though lacking a dust cover. I was pretty amazed when I...

    Today in History

    George Orwell's book, Nineteen Eighty Four, was first published on this date, June 8th, in 1949. In an odd coincidence, on June 4th I found a 1949 first edition of this classic at a local thrift store.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Storming Juno. A docudrama about the 3rd Canadian Division's assault on Juno beach in Normandy 71 years ago today. Quite well done.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    That one wasn't Russian, GHT. It was, unfortunately, in Toronto (TTC=Toronto Transit Commission) and the driver was dismissed, I believe.

    Great looking scarves, Two Types. Love that duffle coat as well. Nothing like a nice scarf to let you express a little panache! Though not a great fan of winter, I do tend to regret having to put away my scarves when summer's heat arrives. Right now, there's still the occasional day that...

    Is she buried here in Toronto?

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The pilot for Intelligence (2005). Exceptional show. (Note: not the 2014 show of the same title)

    What Are You Reading

    I noticed that one on a little noticed shelf (I seem to have a few of those) the other day and realized that I had never read it. It's in the lineup now.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Interesting movie. Its special effects were limited by the technology of the time but it's well worth watching at least for the Mosquitoes and the Avro Anson! Besides...it's Gregory Peck.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    MisterCairo is right...judge it for yourself. If you're still casting about, may I suggest "The Wire"? Five seasons of the finest television I've ever seen...and I've seen a lot over the years. Heck, I still remember Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates in Rawhide!

    Thanks, all...it was a lucky find. That date is earlier than I expected, Two Types. It is a very soft and comfortable scarf. It hangs nicely.

    What Are You Reading

    Robert Leckie's Helmet for my Pillow. Just makes me feel like watching the Pacific miniseries again.

    Thanks, Two Types. The purple Forsyth is my favourite as well. It's a bit beat up but that just gives it more character! I hope the weather in Toronto is a little kinder to you this time. If I recall, we were having a bit of a heat wave last time you were here. Better that, I suppose...
