Happy 18th anniversary of the movie debut!!!

I need to check my ticket stubs when I get back to Philadelphia for the exact date, but sure enough it was 20 years ago this month that I first saw BBM,

My memory is that it was early in the month--so right about now--that I saw the film for the first time, but my collection of ticket stubs will tell the tale.

I remember those days! But I've been watching Burns documentaries (and almost everything else) on my own schedule for more than 20 years -- first with a VCR, now with streaming platforms.

As for the two-hour episodes, I just turn it off halfway through. I do the same with movies, sometimes.

Going back 40 years or so (  :o  ) I used to record a lot on tape, chiefly movies from TCM. Then I realized I was recording all this stuff, but I never had or made time to watch it, so I stopped recording.

I just thought of this now because the thought came to me to wonder if I had any kind of streaming service, if the same thing would happen basically--I'd pay for the service and then never get around to streaming something. It would have to be something I really, seriously wanted to watch.

I don't get why it works this way. Why would the day continue shortening on just one end while remaining static at the other?

I don't understand it either, but I've noticed it for years in the charts in my almanac.

We've come to a milestone, friends! Today is the earliest sunset of the year...at 4:35 pm in my area. It will stay there for 5 days and then on the 11th, sunset will be at 4:36!

Of course, the sunrises will continue to come later, but just for about 15 days and then they'll start getting earlier! Tell that to my cat, though. She still lives by the clock, and wants me up before 7 am!

I've been counting the days to Longerdays, then multiplying them by two, to get the entire span of time we'll have to endure these really short days. So for example the solstice is two weeks from today, meaning we are entering the darkest month (technically four weeks) of the year.

Longerdays can't come soon enough for me!

I guess I've said before, my issue is that the segments are every night for a week.

Somehow I got distracted from watching the series and I want to get back to it again. But the two-hour segments are grueling! I don't know why I can watch a two-hour movie in the evening but I can't make it through a show that's the same length.

I guess I've said before, my issue is that the segments are every night for a week.
