What We Watched, July – November 2023

So there we were in bed, Moki and I, and August was a pretty fair month for us, and Moki was in pretty fair shape, though he was rapidly reaching the point where he wasn’t going to be able to get out of bed anymore, not even to go to the bathroom. Meanwhile, he’d demand his vodka and mixer, and I’d lie next to him in bed, and we’d watch things he’d saved on the DVR (usually the old Fugitive series), and a lot of favorite movies, some repurchased from Amazon Prime. This is a partial listing, since some favorites (L.A. Confidential, In Harm’s Way) we’ve long owned. We ended up renting The Godfather and The Firm more than once; should’ve bought them a long time ago. Eventually I bought The Godfather; already owned Part II, which I accidentally bought or rented again.

We also went through all of Breaking Bad and most of Better Call Saul, skipping over the boring parts with Charlie McGill.

After about November 15 he wasn’t paying much attention to things; he didn’t speak much or ask for a different movie. Or any movie.

The books we listened to in August and September were mainly the Nigel Hamilton WW2 trilogy, and two books about Raphael Semmes and the Confederate Navy. He got quite interested in the Confederate Navy.
