Three Beautiful Things 05/23/20: Curiouser, Broccoli Soup, Television Variety

1. It's dizzying. As I near the halfway point in Bleak House, characters who seemed to have nothing to do with each other meet. New story lines emerge. The pace quickens. Things get curiouser and curiouser.

2. Debbie combined broccoli, spinach, milk, cream cheese, onion, garlic, and maybe some other ingredients to make a superb cream soup for dinner.

3. This evening, I broke away from Bleak House and acrostic puzzle solving and Debbie and I watched the first episode of the first season of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, featuring the elastic Jeremy Brett as Holmes. We took a break from fiction and watched Friday night's news show Washington Week in Review. We also watched the Arctic/Antarctic episode of Nature, featuring the program's "spy in the wild" robots,  robots with cameras for eyes filming the activities of penguins, elephant seals, walruses, puffins, polar bears, and other animals roaming and flying at the top and the bottom of the earth.
