Yesterday, I went off to Saturday Yoga, restorative, and it was much more enjoyable than the day before. Evie stayed home, enjoyed just working around the house, a nice leisurely Saturday for her. I picked up a few things at Weggies because we are having Gene and Trouty Heil over for dinner Sunday Most of the afternoon, we just relaxed, watched TV, and read as it was windy and wet outside, so we did not take a walk. For dinner, we had scallops, rice, and salad, something we have not had in quite a while. It's strange that when I was young, my parents would make scallops and I hated them, yet now they are one of my favorites, especially with lots of garlic and butter. Too bad they are outrageously expensive or we would have them more often. Last night, we watched Broken Flowers, an older movie with Bill Murray, an aging bachelor who reluctantly takes a trip into his past, visiting his old lovers, to discover if one of them carried his son. Slow moving, with occasional humor, it became tiresome after the first hour and the ending just seemed to be too 'hip.' The director/writer Jim Jarmusch, loved by the critics, is from Akron, Ohio. His style is definitely recognizable, as each scene ends with a fade out, with no sense of montage, his defining feature.
I am reading, on my Kindle, Andrew Ross Sorkin's TOO BIG TO FAIL, a best seller about the fall of Wall Street in 2007. I had heard it was a good read and I have to say I find it compelling, much more so than I would have thought. Right now he is setting the stage by giving brief biographies of the major players like Hank Paulson, Richard Fuld, Tim Geithner, and other Kings of the Universe. An interesting world of power and unbelievable money, at least till the fall of Bear Stearns, signaling the decline of the rest of the power brokers.
Snow flurries for the morning, then cold in the afternoon, though not much accumulation.
