<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nFor entertainment – I’ve discovered a new show – Corner Gas<\/a>. It has been an immediate hit with me. I like to describe as almost Seinfeld<\/a> but if Seinfeld was in Canada, centered around the only gas station for 40 miles (kilometers?) in either direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It has a small cast and half hour episode fits several story lines in. It’s makes me laugh, and is an easy binge. And free! It’s on IMDB<\/a>‘s free streaming service<\/a>. Or you can stream it on Amazon Prime. It’s not Letterkenny<\/a> – which is another hilarious Canadian comedy. No were near as cuss filled or topical as Letterkenny, but then I think that is why I find it so comforting. It is just a good background show that doesn’t require you to pay attention to one scene to get the comedy they are doing in the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyways, I have a feeling that it will join my repeat shows like Black Books<\/a>, The IT Crowd<\/a> and a few others. And of course Futurama<\/a>. Which I fall asleep to every night<\/a>. I don’t watch it, I just load up and episode or two on my bluetooth sleeping mask<\/a> and pass out to a comforting, familiar show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just shows that don’t nessecarily have to be binges anymore, I’ve watched them all multiple times, but as good background noise when WCLV<\/a>, a podcast, or other music just isn’t cutting it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from comfort entertainment, I’ve been trying to fit reading into my schedule. I found out the Kindle doesn’t keep Marceline awake when I am rocking her to sleep. So I’ve gotten through two books in August and I’m almost done with the Maltese Falcon <\/a>(like 20 more pages). <\/p>\n\n\n\n As far as hobbies, exercising has helped me feel better. Running on the treadmill every other day or so. I don’t have a goal yet, but running a half marathon sounds easily doable at this point. When races come back that is. I haven’t done a road race since college? I think. So 20 years about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And eventually, maybe, drawing again. I like having my sketchbooks to look back at, but that is a lot of free time to expect with a 17 month old daughter as cute and active as Marceline is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n PS – 9-11 is a weird day. 19 years ago I was in Erie, PA on the last leg of a road trip across the country. I was 22 and pretty cynical about the world. Also driving from Erie to Niagara Falls was just nuts on that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time it is my brother-in-laws birthday. A celebration? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been trying to figure out what my comfort level is. What brings me comfort – aside from family and friends obviously.
