MY DAY

Today I spent doing family. I took my mother and her sister to lunch along with my cousin's 3 grandsons that he and his wife are rearing. We had a good time and it was fun being with 3 active but well behaved little boys around age 9, 11 and 13. In two weeks I am going to get the boys and take them swimming while my mom and aunt visit. I'll get to be a kid again that day.

I was tired this afternoon because I had not slept much last night so when I got home I had a nice relationship with my sofa and a movie. It was restful. The thunder rolled for a long time like we might have a real storm but nothing happened so tonight I have had to put the sprinkler on.

I watched an old movie which I had never seen before, A FISH CALLED WANDA. It has a great cast and I laughed outloud all by myself. It has some great slapstick and stars one of my favorite funny men, John Cleese. It is a farcical crime story that also stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline. Occasionally I need comic relief in my life. I have been watching some things lately with Kevin Kline and that is how I got drawn to this movie. I'm glad that I saw it even though it was about 20 years late. I seem to gravitate to movies because of an actor that I have seen in something else and then want to see more of their stuff. I imagine a lot of people do that.

Speaking of Kevin Kline, when you see him playing the piano in movies he is really doing the playing. He was a student at Julliard before he decided to become an actor. Multitalented he is indeed. He was great as Cole Porter in DE LOVELY.

Well, I am out of here to try to have an earlier bedtime tonight. Peace to all of us.
