Wishing a happy Veterans Day for all who've served in the armed forces.
I continue to hope for a day when war is a thing of the past, but the state of the world is such that I've come to doubt it will happen in my lifetime.

I enjoyed episode 3 of WELCOME TO DERRY more than episode 2, but I'm still not loving it. As with the source material, I think everything with the kids is great and everything with the adults just makes me want to get back to the kids. (1/2)

Alexa and I enjoyed HAUNTED HOTEL, an animated series about a single mom who inherits a hotel full of demons and ghosts, all of which are color characters, although Abaddon, a demon tapped in the body of a 9-year-old boy from Colonial times, is the standout. (1/2)

We took a walk in Kew Garden's Maple Grove Cemetery yesterday. I was struck by the turtles at the pond all gathering at the foot of the goose statue. I also photographed two monuments, one an angel on top of a rock, and the other for the grave of a dead child, which I found both creepy and sad.

Tonight's movie was SLEEPAWAY CAMP, which features this all-timer of a putdown: "She's a real carpenter's dream, flat as a board and in need of a good screw!" (Spoken by Judy, the best character, who eats the scenery in every scene!)

Some takeaways from yesterday's NYC mayoral election:
1) When voter turnout is this high, it means people are unhappy with the status quo and want a change.

It's election day here in NYC (and other places)! If you haven't already, please go vote! And please remember to thank your poll workers! Speaking from experience, it's a long and mostly thankless day for them.

This morning's MRI of my left knee went smoothly. I'm looking forward to seeing what's going on in there! (Also, mentally preparing myself to learn it's probably arthritis.)
