Two of this house’s favorite weekends of the year are the Big 10 Conference Tournaments weekends — last weekend for the women, this weekend for the men.
I checked out the book The Year of Living Danishly, curious about happiness in a country with low sunlight much of the year. I will read more. Big Ten Basketball is a highlight here, too. Close game for the match up with Purdue and MSU. My husband and grandson went to the last game when they played each other. Tight game!
Two of Kris's brothers played for Iowa (one in the 60s, one in the 70s), so we have been fans of Iowa for a long time. But we watch Big 10 games if they are one. MSU has not been a strong team this year, but they sure do give teams fits. They had a chance yesterday. Edey is too much. Illinois is a bundle of nightmare and nonsense, but they're so talented and they find ways to win -- as Underwood said yesterday, "We were terrible."
I play wordle every day. I am more focused on getting the right answer than on getting it in the fewest number of tries because that takes much more time. Also, thank you for your link to Katelyn Beaty's article, which I have already seen, but the additional exposure is important. And the piece by Kirsten Powers is very interesting as well as the link to her longer article. Interesting and terrifying.
I'm following Kirsten Powers' story, too. She has begun the story before moving. I've read a book about a man who bought a home in Italy with a vineyard, and he found it had very very good grapes. So he turned it into a profitable vineyard. Being an ex-pat requires moving away from family, which is not on our schedule. But a few weeks in Greece, Italy, or Denmark can be very appealing.
