QOTB Recognition!

Minnie .............. 34,256 Image QOTB


Thanks so much for the Queen of the Boat (QOTB) recognition! I feel like a cheat, as it was more than one day ... but, I'll take it!

I just noticed that the movie version of Boys in the Boat is being released next month. The book was excellent ... can't wait to see the rowing action in the movie.

If anyone is watching the current (first) season of Lessons in Chemistry, what do you think about the home built erg?!

Looking forward to The Boys In The Boat. Couldn't quite get a read off the trailer - felt kind of heavy handed - but that was just the trailer, and I trust George Clooney to do a good job.
Lessons in Chemistry looks good. I don't keep an Apple TV subscription, but I will keep that one in mind for the next time I do.

Winter is coming. Maybe it will even arrive tonight and bring the first snow of the season. It was Hound of the Baskervilles foggy this AM...but not quite thick enough that the dogs couldn't see the rapidly disappearing white tip of the fox's tail as it zoomed toward the fence! The hounds were indeed baying...sorry neighbors. It was early.

I had been planning to start watching anyways, but your post made me start watching now :)
I am enjoying - it has both rowing (on and off water) and chemistry, and even was talking about determining crystal structure of organic molecules! What could be better?

What could be better than organic chemistry?!? I enjoyed the book, and, so far, I think that they're doing a great job of the tv series. Keeps me motivated, anyway.

Well heck - now I’ll have to watch it too. Molecular structure, organic chemistry and only the tests that you choose to take…good stuff! Although p-chem was really hard…
