When I make the time to workout, which is much harder to do now that I have a full time job and also live with my wife, Krista finds things to watch. You would be surprised how hard it is to be motivated to stop snuggling on the couch when you don’t get to see someone you desperately looked forward to moving in with for ages for the major hunk of your day. Back to the finding a show to watch element of this story. One night Krista started watching Brothers & Sisters on Hulu and in that moment we suddenly found ourselves down a deep rabbit hole of melodrama. While may not see every single episode of the show, I still see a majority of them. She no longer watches it while I workout, but sometimes we try to watch before bed and I more than once have immediately fallen asleep. I was expecting this show to just be a bit of a soap opera-y romp, but there was something that caught me entirely by surprise, Kevin.

I do remember being fixated on learning as much as I could about the ship and her doomed voyage. When I learned that there was a book that highlighted a specific passenger on the Titanic I was already hooked and then was even more excited to learn that it was someone who brought a new element of diversity to the often mentioned passengers on the luxurious vessel.

This is the perfect book to celebrate Black History month and will teach readers about the power of coming together to make a difference.

After much waiting, so much in fact that the name of the movie changed before I even got to go see it, I was finally able to see what I am going to call throughout the rest of this article, Birds of Prey. Admittedly I originally thought the movie was coming out Valentine’s Day weekend, but with tight scheduling on my part I wasn’t able to go see the movie until the Sunday after Valentine’s Day.
