Monday night we saw the movie of August: Osage County, which Moira borrowed from the library. The cast included Dermot Mulroney, whom she calls "my favourite goon." Unfortunately, the video skipped several times in the second half. (She says library DVDs are notorious for that.) The soundtrack included the Eric Clapton song "Lay Down, Sally," which I always thought went, "Way down south"!
Tuesday night we saw Rene Clair's And Then There Were None, from the Agatha Christie play, also from the library. It's pretty scary, with a tasty cast. (Moira said, "The cat did it!") It turns out that the play has a different ending from the book!
Wednesday I had lunch with Pam at Butler's Pantry.
Yesterday I finally got my eyes tested at a clinic near St. Clair & Dufferin. (I tried to wait until after my OSDP interview, in hopes that a new health care plan would pay for it, but it's been taking forever!) My long-distance sight is still improving, so I got a new prescription. The eye doctor expects that my headaches will be reduced, but they never seem to go away.
Today I got my hair cut. When she was finished, the Hungarian barber said, "Now you look ten years younger!" My gray hairs are a bit more visible near the temple, but I find that look dignified!
I saw a video on Youtube by someone talking about the best and worst national flags.
Last night I dreamed about meeting an American fundamentalist and pointing out that Declaration of Independence author Thomas Jefferson was a deist. I said, "Deists think that God is like that rich uncle who never takes you out to dinner!"
