We\u2019ve also been watching \u201cSlow Horses\u201d and \u201cTreason,\u201d another British spy series. I read \u201cHappiness is a Choice You Make\u201d and Sanjay Gupta\u2019s \u201cKeep Sharp.\u201d I\u2019m not as much of a reader as John, but I did finish 48 books in 2022 according to GoodReads!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t think I mentioned it here in the blog, but Nancy Stiles passed away a couple of weeks ago.
