    Some thoughts on Bobbed Hair, Bossy Wives, and Women Preachers

    Tuesday, February 7, 2012

Will you be watching ‘Downton Abbey’?

Watch Downton Abbey 2: The Critics Can’t Stop Talking on PBS. See more from Masterpiece. I’ve seen both seasons, and the second is just as wonderful as the first! But I’ll be watching season 2 again as it airs on PBS. Will you? What character’s storyline are you most looking forward to seeing unfold?

Me, circa 2003
