Weekly Notes. 5/16/2026 📝

📚 Dune. Finished the first book in the Dune series this week and already downloaded Dune Messiah. Goal is to read (listen) through all the main story line this summer.

📺 Shrinking. We finished season 3 of Shrinking. What a great feel good show. A range of emotions in every episode and the finale was no different. Loved it.

🍿_Anaconda_. A silly and fun watch. It knew what it was and that’s perfect.

🎮 The Messenger. Finished the main story and just have to dlc to do. I’ll come back to this. It was a great game and even more so for picking it up on sale for $4.

❤️ Mother’s Day lunch was a hit. My sister brought shrimp to steam up and I made crab cakes. Found some really good strawberries at the farmers market so had strawberry shortcakes for desert.

Finished reading: Dune by Frank Herbert 📚

It’s going to be a Dune summer and I’m here for it. Next up: Dune Messiah.

Jesus. Akin had a real shit inning. 1/3 of an inning pitched. 6 earned runs. An ERA of almost 15. The Orioles having zero pitching story is getting old. ⚾️

Peabody Heights (Baltimore, MD) - Hoiho

Solid IPA. Only 5.8% so good for having a few. 4/5 🍺

Peabody Heights (Baltimore, MD) - H8erade-grape

Grape, tart, sweet, refreshing. 5/5 🍺

Went to Red Lobster for the return of endless shrimp last night. Definitely got shrimp drunk. I don’t want to see another crustacean for some time.
