Where the Crawdads Sing (2022)
![]() |
Where the Crawdads Sing (2022): A coming-of-age tale. A romance. A murder mystery. A courtroom drama. Loneliness, shunning, abuse, and most of all, persistence. Movie moves quickly and deliberately through lots of events in the story. True to the novel and almost as good. B+
Read my review of the novel: Where the Crawdads Sing.

POTD: Entry Hall of Schlösser Brühl
From 2022 07 07 Cologne and Brühl |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from the Castle of Augustusburg in Brühl, Germany. The palace was built in 1725 and served as the residence of the prince-archbishops of Cologne. It reminded me of the posts on Facebook by people seeking to sell homes in Richardson. This entry hall would be a killer feature for those homes. ;-)

POTD: Cologne Cathedral's Goat
From 2022 07 07 Cologne and Brühl |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from Cologne, Germany. It shows two of the many gargoyles on Cologne Cathedral. The church dates back to the 1200s but it was heavily damaged in WWII (as, sadly, so much of Europe was). During restoration, one of the new gargoyles was made in the shape of a goat. The goat is the mascot of the Cologne football club "1. FC Köln". Maybe God really does take sides in sports.
