I'll be crossing the Atlantic to Baltimore in September, to watch an American theatre (or should that be "theater" ) company perform an opera I wrote the music for.
TPBM has read a really good book recently.
That would be me. But this year is one to mark several important anniversaries of famous events. Including the signing of Magna Carta (15/6/1215), Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo (1815), and the Battle of Agincourt (St Crispin's Day AKA 25/10/1415). And of course the ANZAC Centenary commemoration on 25/4/2015, which was the climax of my recent excursion to the Aegean Sea and to the French battlefields of Picardy. There are too many good books on Australia's role in WW1 for me to plough through to mention any single one. So I will mention Bernard Cornwell's Azincourt, if you don't mind mud, blood and graphic gruesomeness. And a book on the Fall of Constantinople (May, 1453) which my daughter borrowed and which I'd like to complete some time in the future when she returns it.
TPBM thinks I wrote a post that is a mite too long.
Long, yes, but interesting! I have a hard time cutting down on words when describing something I have an interest in too.
TPBM watches TV shows on PBS.
We have nothing, if not belief.
—C.S. Lewis
Yep! Usually Masterpiece, but right now I've been watching Father Brown and The Doctor Blake Mysteries.
TPBM enjoys mysteries.
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our Savior

Yep Favorites include Bernie & Chet, Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes
TPBM likes to read comics.
"The mountains are calling and I must go, and I will work on while I can, studying incessantly." -John Muir
"Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed." -Richard Adams, Watership Down
I haven't read much in the way of comic books, but I like a number of newspaper and online comics.
(I'm not familiar with Bernie & Chet, but Nancy Drew is fun! And Sherlock Holmes has some good stories. )
TPBM likes ice cream.
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
