What Played in Ed's Head -- 

Music listened to for the time-period June 1st through June 30th, 2024:

3rd day at JMH.

Registered and Paid for DLV and I for ICC Ireland Trip in October.

Having been born in 1962, and liking and listening to music from the early sixties onward, I thought it might be fun to attempt a listing of my favorite albums each year since birth.

The initial post for this series of ideas began on December 26th, 2023.  You can look it up....

This time, I present my favorite "Jazz" albums of 1967...  #5 - 13.

3-mile trail run on the Metacomet (Phelps South and Back).

Twentieth-First Day as a Consultant / Contractor.

Early Morning drive to Williamstown to visit my Mom.

On the way, I stopped on River Road in Charlemont to attempt the climb of Negus.

Managed 3.7-miles round trip.  

Wonderful achievement followed by a cool-off in the Deerfield River.

Nice visit with my Mom as well, and I got home safely by early afternoon.

 

Still very Hot, Humid and Rainy.  3.4-mile run in Granville.

Later on, DL and I finished the final episode of Poirot...  we spent months watching an episode an evening, give or take.

"David Suchet starred as Poirot in the ITV series Agatha Christie's Poirot from 1989 until June 2013, when he announced that he was bidding farewell to the role. 

"No one could've guessed then that the series would span a quarter-century or that the classically trained Suchet would complete the entire catalogue of whodunits featuring the eccentric Belgian investigator, including 33 novels and dozens of short stories."  

Overall, 70 episodes were made over 13 series.

His final appearance in the show was in an adaptation of Curtain, aired on 13 November 2013.

Late morning run at Bear Hole Reservoir (8.9-Miles).

Drive to Williamstown to visit my Mom, but stopped in Charlemont to dip in the Cold River first.

Excellent visit, before driving back home.
