Summer

Last night Bros. Phil, Brent, and I sat on the couch and were mesmerized by Public Broadcasting (PBS) airing of American Experience: Victory in the Pacific.  Tonight, Brent and I watched the PBS show The Bomb about the Manhattan Project.  I assume these were airing because it's the 80th anniversary of the U.S. dropping a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima.   By the time that show had ended Brent and I both said we wanted to watch something a bit lighter in tone. We turned to the PBS show Pompeii: The New Dig.  I'm not sure  a documentary on a city that was totally destroyed by a volcano is any less serious than one about a world war but it didn't really matter I guess.  Brent was soon asleep on the couch and I had a birthday cake to bake.
