I see that Jack has blogged again. We live in an age of wonders. Seriously, it is so nice to hear all the ordinary news in the lives of my little brother and his sons. Sounds like everyone had a great time at Chuckie Cheese.
I went to see Nanny McPhee with my friend Gail. We both enjoyed it. I discovered that the screenplay was written by Emma Thompson, who also played the title role. I have worked my way through the first three Harry Potter movies - I just have the latest one to see. Lately I have been gravitating to children's movies. What's up with that? I also finished all the Inspector Clouseau movies. A couple of them are really funny. Go see a movie. Have a blast.
Our mayor, Sam Katz, is in hot water because of a comment he made. He was standing on a stage with five female Olympic medal winners and he said, "Now I know how Hugh Hefner feels." The Free Press is full of letters, comments and columns about this gaffe. It seems everyone feels very strongly about it - some are aghast at the sexism displayed by the comment, others say it was pretty innocuous, leave the poor guy alone. I'll bet there are even a few younger people out there who are wondering: who the hell is Hugh Hefner? While I don't think his comment was appropriate, in the scheme of things, this is not one of the important issues. How about poverty in South America? How about AIDS in Africa? How about global warming? Those are issues. Where are all the outraged people about those issues? And that's my rant for the day.
Today is a beautiful, sunny day, 17 degrees Celsius. I just spent a couple of hours raking the front lawn. I managed to get the main part of the lawn done, but the boulevard will take another couple of hours. And then there's the back yard. Oh, no, do I have to do that, too! Gotta spread those chores out a bit. At least it'll take the place of the workout I can't do today because of the Reh-fit being closed. It seems there's some sort of religious holiday today.
Well, gotta go take a shower and have supper. Later, alligators.
You know what your problem is, it's that you haven't seen enough movies - all of life's riddles are answered in the movies.
