I watched the movie Being There this week, based on the novel of the same name by Jerzy Kosinski. Granted the movie has been out since 1979, but I don't want to spoil anything. However, the last scene kinda threw me for a loop. Was I supposed to have been paying apt attention, or - gulp- thinking? It's been a while since I read the book, but I don't remember if it had the same ending.
On account of me being a dutiful brother (or conversely, not thinking quickly enough), I had to watch my brother's kids last night. As I was putting Grace, the youngest at almost 3, to bed and covering her with her blanket, she looked up at me, and all sad-like, asked me, "Uncle Mike, are you going home now?"
I replied, "No, Gracie. I'm not going home; I'm staying here." Then, I could swear she sorta smiled...ok, maybe not, but I'd like to imagine she did.
I was going to check out a car show in Princeton this afternoon, but after I had finished my errands in the superstores surrouned by the parking lots from hell, it had started raining, or at least aggresively threatening rain. So, that ruled that out. There'll be other chances to see classic cars this summer. In the next few weeks, the Friday evening car shows in Somerville will start up once again.
Strangely enough, it did clear up appropriately enough in my neck of the woods for a nice drive and to make a walk along the river a possibility.
I got some ice cream. Rocky Road. It was kinda expensive for what I got, but no bother, as it was tasty!
In less than a week, I go on vacation. Thank Krikey.
And J-, I haven't forgotten the site you asked me to do for your site. I'll get cranking on it this week.
