It is still cloudy and cool, but good ole Sol is peeking through the clouds this afternoon.
This morning I worked at the Air Museum. The Air Force is having a drive to recruit pilots and they are putting on video presentations today and tomorrow. They also brought along the aircraft associated with flight training. They brought a Harvard II, a Jet Ranger helicopter, a Kingair, and a little single engine two-seater trainer. The forces personnel were putting the kids into the cockpits and this thrilled them to bits...the kids were thrilled too! I will be helping out again tomorrow as they have the planes out on the tarmac in front of the hanger doors and this is on airport property and it makes them nervous...so there is a need for help to guard against the unforseen threat!
Catherine went for a workout and the hairy princess stayed home.
Last night we watched the video "A Mighty Wind". It is a movie by the same group that did "Best in Show" and "This is Spinal Tap". Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Michael McKean, etc. The whole movie is ad-libbed and very clever. If you are from the era of The Kingston Trio and The New Christy Minstrels etc, you would appreciate the humour more. Gary and Carol would get a kick out of it. But for me you can't beat "This is Spinal Tap". I even have the two records that Spinal tap put out, one is "Smell the Glove" and the other is "Break Like the Wind"......Some people thought that these guys were a legitimate group instead of a put-on. Bwahahahaha!
Another good movie that we want to see is "Holes", Catherine said that she read the book and it is quite good. The NYT movie reviews give it 4 1/2 stars out of 5. We trie to rent it but they were all out.
I got a long email from Joel, regaling me with stories from Cardero's restaurant where he works. Here is an exerpt:
"it's the only restaurant i know that needs a bouncer on busy nights. i've seen two fights break out on the deck, women on both occasions. this summer i've served people like michael stipes (lead singer for r.e.m.), most of the canucks, kurt russell ( as in goldie hawn), mr. penksi (indie racer), some dignitary from europe (there body guards sat at 2 different tables), al roker (nbc news caster), these are a few. it's neat to pick up a magazine or turn on the tv and be able to remember 'greygoose on the rocks with a twist.' the most interesting customers are the ones that have just come off their boat from a different country. nameless people but just as interesting as celebs. they also have plenty of fascinating stories to tell."
Tomorrow is another day............
