Friday night movies


Friday night movies
Over the river and through the crowded sidestreets of Englewood, NY to some huge, empty, theatre to see 'W', except 'W' wasn't playing (lucky me) so we went for Angelina Jolie.

(When they ask the question "Are those real?", they are asking about her lips.)

Got good news today, a lawyer friend sent me the language I need to start writing up the agreement. Now to flesh it out. Spent part of today doing that and roasting a chicken.

I got my volunteer discount for working the Marathon, so I bought myself a Shine in the Dark winter hat. I could have used it last night and today as the drizzles continued on and off through this morning's run.


What else?

Thought about joining a club to train with, found a few that might fit.

I have a recommendation for all of you. You should all have a friend that you have known for over 45 years. She should be bright, curious about life and politics, deeply involved in her work, yet able to find time to be actively concerned with the well being of her family and, more importantly, her oldest friend.
She should be able to pick out an inexpensive wine to go with the dinner after the movie that tastes pretty good and she should be able to graciously accept your offer to pay for the movie tickets because she is doing all the driving around the suburbs. (Hey. We saw a sign that said GAS $1.99. Very exciting.)

Ms. Jolie is always better then I think she will be, and she is good in this movie, Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood. Clint ended this movie about four times which was wearing, but each new ending sequence was well done and perhaps necessary to fill in the missing pieces of the story. Her lips floated above and around about the whole film.

Dinner at Max's was great. The waiter listened to everything I said and I got my fish grilled, not pan-fried and I got the extra anchovies on my Caesar Salad just like I like. It was great to talk to a person for a couple of hours without once thinking you needed to solve a problem.

When I got home I pulled all the meat off of the bones of the chicken and packed it in bags in the freezer. Many lunches, so little time.
