Another Rosy Fingered Dawn |
We have not heard from Ed and Dot, so I assume they are at Penn State, visiting Dot's sister and they will be here either today, tomorrow, or not at all, depending on how they feel I suppose. We hope they come here but it all depends on how Dad's feeling, whether he 's up to it though resting here as opposed to Euclid seems like a better option. I expect them tomorrow, actually, as they probably want to spend more time with Margo, Dot's sister.
We watched THE VERDICT last night, a 1982 Paul Neumann movie, very dated, slow, and surprisingly cliched, as you got tired of watching him agonize over his case. Everything about the movie was vintage 70's and shows you how much our lifestyles have changed in 35 years. The offices, the streets, the apartments, the courtroom, the buildings, all were decrepit looking. The music, too, was often silly, the type we used to get during the sixties to build up suspense or create a mood. A strange ending, it just stopped, and why the jury decided to side with the victim, especially after Neumann's silly speech about justice and the courts (he gave no evidence to support the case) remains a mystery. I guess they were wooed by his going off into the clouds, even though it had nothing to do with the case.
