There has been an excellent program on the Discovery Channel this week. There were three hours, one each on three consecutive nights - a Ted Koppel program: "China: The People's Republic of Capitalism". We've seen the first two hours and have recorded the last one. It's excellent - about the new growth of capitalism in China (obviously). I'm sure it will be rerun - watch for it.
Another program we recorded (and have watched about half of) is a PBS program from the POV (Point of View) series. It's called "Traces of the Trade", about a prominent Rhode Island family whose younger members discover that the family money and status in RI came from the slave trade. The program is an exploration of their learning this fact and their journey to find out more of the history, and how they deal with the revelations. A most interesting situation - we're looking forward to seeing the end of the program. Check your local PBS program to see if and when it'll be on there.
Sue and Matt are here this evening. We were expecting Sue, on her way to Margaret's. They're going to a show put on by Fostoria Glass in Nashville on Saturday. We didn't know Matt was coming, and that was a nice surprise. Matt wants to go rowing with John early in the morning, and that's a treat for both of them.
