Perry Mason: no femme fatale yet. Perry wrestles with his conscience given past mistakes. Meanwhile he is somehow able to have an ex parte communication with the judge on his case. The judge doesn't seem worried that Perry's clients might be being railroaded. Paul Drake conducts ballistics tests. Hope Davis uses an early Pilates machine for her core. Paul Raci is quite the sadist as Lydell McCutcheon, an oil baron. Could he have killed his own son? Ninety Day Fiance : The Other Way. Hard to beat for sheer brazen stupidity and absurdity. Alaska Daily: Family conflict overshadows

I hadn't touched a Walter Mosley tale in some time. For whatever reason I grabbed his "Every Man a King" and began reading. It's involved, enough plot for two novels by most writers. Eventually the threads do merge. I still do not get the selection of the title although two characters do have the name King. There are a few Easter eggs, lots of geography of places familiar and unfamiliar, lots of brown liquor, conspiracies of sorts and so on.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Happy Holi! [splash]

After a break for season hiatuses, inclement weather and a new bout of Covid (hopefully over soon), we resume viewing. Criminal Minds: Evolution finished its 10 episode arc about a very devious serial killer with a satisfying end while still leaving suspicions of some evil conspiracy deep within the DoJ. Will there be more of this? Alaska Daily is back following up on its cliffhanger. This show seems able to continue as long as Ms. Swank can keep her jaw clenched. The fate of missing indigenous women remains unresolved. Perry Mason launched season 2 on a gambling boat off the

This case doesn't seem to be worth a hill of beans.

Everything was starting to come together for the Lakers in their effort to make the playoffs. Then, LeBron injured his right foot. Uh-oh.

Had a secretary from New Jersey named Jackie Quackenbush (before a subsequent marriage). Bit of a head case.

Watching the Celtics beat the Sixers I was struck by the way Jason Tatum seemed to be able to make the game come to him.

Weird. Maybe a paywall issue. Moot at this point since the shows are over.

Being the blackboard eraser kid was for the teacher's pet.
