Greetings from Bellevue

It rained on and off all day Sunday. We spent the morning watching the Cowboys-Eagles game, which had implications for the Commanders' playoff chances, then we ate lunch and went to Crossroads Bellevue, where we looked at the holiday decorations still up in the mall, listened to the Susan Pascal Quartet who were playing on the Market Stage outside the eatery, and went to the Trudy's Hallmark sale, where I found Bag End and a Jim Shore tomten at half price. We picked up food at the QFC in the mall before coming home.

I watched the final episode of What If...? with Cheryl and Paul (which did right by the Watcher but killed off my second-favorite character and never circled back to my favorite as I expected, though the very last image left me with a big question mark about him). Then we watched the Commanders victory before getting ourselves The War of the Rohirrim for Chanukah and watching it. I enjoyed pretty much everything about it -- the shieldmaidens, the scenery, the connections to The Lord of the Rings, the Rohan music!
