First thought on reading this: Murderbot is a Capricorn

Second thought: Murderbot is writing horoscopes

White Collar Reboot Wishlist

Inspired by the lists I've seen from other fans, here's what I'd like to see:

Something to honor the characters who can't return because the actors have passed away: Mozzie, Hughes, June.

Return of Jones, Diana, Lauren, Sara. Give me Sara! I want Neal and Sara together and happy!

Mozzie leaves a puzzle or secret that needs a combination of Neal's and Peter's skills to resolve.

Acknowledgement of Mozzie's conspiracy theories and how some of them don't seem so wild anymore.

Peter, El, and Neal Burke, with a dog to remind us of Satchmo

Cleaning house at the FBI -- dealing with agents like Kramer and Rice who tried to abuse Neal.

More backstory for Peter and Neal. More about Peter's parents and Neal's mom.

Neal's art. I want to learn that he's found his voice and is creating original art -- and that his talent is recognized.

Loopy Neal. Singing Neal.

A reference to Psych. Yes, they should have had a crossover since they aired at the same time!

A heist that involves Neal and Peter. Something like the time they broke into a bank together.

Neal and Peter on a road trip.

Neal and Peter stuck in an elevator.

Raising my virtual cup of coffee to my fellow White Collar fans, hoping this list inspires even more ideas from you...

Flower Power Friday

Thanks @a-noble-dragon for tagging me last week. I remembered to pause for a flower photo on a walk through the neighborhood. Enjoy!

My boss passed along some praise from one of our executives. It included:

Calm (yeah, that is the adjective most frequently used to describe to me)

Leadership (please, please don't make me lead stuff)

"would be a wonderful children's book reader at the library" (umm... okay, I guess this is a sign I need to starting joining the Murderbot Diaries read-aloud Discord events again) (I mean, I work in IT. This is really out of the blue from a work perspective. But it's not the first time people have made comments about my voice. The CEO at the previous place I worked had me do voice overs for videos posted on our website.)

Still listening to my Halloween playlist, and I started thinking about Northanger Abbey. In a modern musical adaptation, when we reach the scene where Henry is spinning scary stories about what Catherine will encounter at the Abbey, that scene should be set to Thriller.

I think Catherine would love reading and watching thrillers, and the song would be such fun
