The American Masters program on Dr. Anthony Fauci was so good. Nice to hear him talk about what was going on during the pandemic and early in his career with the AIDS virus.

I found the section on when he worked on the AIDS virus to be fascinating. He was hated so much by the Act Up and other activist groups, yet they ended up working together to develop new or parallel testing of the various drugs. Now, he is great friends with some of the people who opposed him. Says a lot about his ability to work with others… as long as they listen to the science of the situation, which, we know TFG did not.

I’m sure it will be shown again on PBS, if anyone is interested. I’d watch it again.

I learned a lot of the history from the movie (and book) And the Band Played On. And in real life I had several coworkers who had AIDS. One friend, Chuck.. first lost his partner and I went to see a partial large display of the AIDs Quilt at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to see the section for him, which was covered in his signature Speedos. Went to the Celebration of Life. Chuck supported so many of the guys in Long Beach. He collected Teddy Bears and made sure each guy got one. He was a semifinalist for Volunteer of the year at Transamerica. The next year he wasn't able to be so active, but still working, but my boss nominated me for my rape crisis volunteering.. and I got semifinal. The boss was pretty half hearted about it, probably told by management that it looked good to have someone represent our division. So, Chuck passed away. That was so hard. His funeral was hard, though there was a lot of humor. The minister joked that Chuck had planned every single detail and only left a tiny gap for the minister to speak.. and it was a spring day in Long Beach and this old church had huge windows which were open that day and just as the minister joked about that, a breeze came up and all the large banners fluttered. The entire place knew that was Chuck! At the reception, his mom, who was amazing and had tended to both of them, asked us if the food was ok. She said Chuck told her it had to be good, "no tacky crackers with cheese". It was good and we told her so.

So many losses. A little girl here had been born in San Francisco, back when the blood banks were refusing to TEST the donations for HIV. Lorna Horn was a premie and had to get transfusions and it took a few years to realize that she had AIDS. She made it to at least 13, but that was the time of Ryan White and people shunning anyone with that virus because they considered it a gay thing. Guess we are coming around to a similar place.

So I look forward to the Fauci documentary, which was recording when I went to bed.

I just finished watching Marie Antoinette. It was good, but they ended in a weird spot. I guess there's going to be a second season, and we all know how that will end!

I've read a lot about Marie and Louis XVI. Did you know they were married for seven years before they even consummated their marriage?! They were both very young, 14 and 15, when they married. The costumes were great.

I also watched the first episode of Season 3 of Sanditon yesterday. It's off to a good start. They'd better give Charlotte her happy ending this season since I think it's the last. I know a lot of us were downright pissed off the first season. Jane Austen characters are supposed to get married and live happily ever after at the end of the story. I want my happy ending!!!

I enjoy ancestry shows. Tonight "Finding Your Roots" looked at Tamera Mowry's ancestry. On her father's side she's a descendent of William Brewster who came over on the Mayflower

Some years ago on another ancestry show "Who Do You Think You Are?" they discovered Ashley Judd is a descendent of William Brewster. So Tamera and Ashley are related? I thought they'd bring up the relation tonight. Didn't have to say anything about the other show.

New show starts tonight on PBS 8pm.

Ridley

The series stars Adrian Dunbar in the role of Alex Ridley. The former detective inspector is brought back in as a consultant 18 months after an early retirement due to a nervous breakdown from having to come to terms with the loss of his wife and daughter in a house fire. He spends some of his retirement time as a pianist and singer in a jazz club of which he is a co-owner. He assists former colleague Carol Farman (Bronagh Waugh), newly promoted to detective inspector.

Already has been renewed for second series. I always like Adrian Dunbar.

The last season of Endeavor starts tonight! Can’t wait!!

I absolutely hated Morse (too curmudgeonly), loved watching Lewis, love Endeavor. Hope the final season provides a good ending… or beginning for Morse. I wonder if, during the last show, Lewis will become his partner. Anyway, can’t wait.

I am so behind on Endeavour. I can’t believe it’s the ninth season. I left off at four or five. I’m glad I have things to catch up on during this writer’s strike.

I love that a new season of Unforgotten is on PBS. I really liked that show! And, I really like the guy who plays Sunny.
