What a picture the sunrise created this morning! The sun came up behind a bank of stretched out gray and white clouds. The sun radiating its brilliance through the openings. Multi colored! A sight to behold!
A good day yesterday.
Watched Meet the Press in the morning. Did this week’s column for KONK Life. Enjoyed a drink with Jenna. Went to the movies to see Gravity with Jenna. Enjoyed a drink and lite fare at the Marriott Beachside Bar afterwards. With Jenna, of course.
Gravity is one of the finest movies I have ever seen. Without question! A work of art!
Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star. Sandra Bullock is outstanding! An Academy Award performance. I will be shocked if she is not nominated and does not win. The movie itself could very well get the Best Picture award.
Tense! The only way to describe the film. Every moment of it. Bullock plays an astronaut lost in space. Outside her space ship!
Gravity normally is not my type movie. Space ships, science fiction, etc. This one excited me no end, however.
The movie is in 3D. Try to watch it in 3D. We caught an afternoon showing which was not in 3D.
Jenna and I were together from before the movie till long afterwards. I picked her up at the TV studio at 3:30. She was working. Said she had some catching up to do. We drove to the Regal. We were an hour early for the film. My fault. I read the time table wrong on the internet.
Not one to waste a moment, I suggested a drink. We walked down to Outback. It was empty mid afternoon on a sunday. Maybe three customers. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a drink as well as each other’s company.
Then the movie. Again, a WOW!
After the movie, we drove to the Marriott Beachside. Sat at the bar and ate some kite fare.
A good late afternoon and early evening!
I spent my morning into the early afternoon writing this week’s KONK Life column. Columbus Needs A Pied Piper.
Columbus, Ohio has a big time rat problem. An even bigger problem is Columbus does not have the money to deal with it. My suggestion was Columbus find a Pied Piper.
I had been considering writing about the Columbus rat situation and mentioning the Pied Piper. I mentioned the story line to several people the past few days. I was interested in what their reaction might be. No one knew or had ever heard of the legend of the Pied Piper. The people ranged in age from the mid 20s to 50.
I read the Pied Piper when I was in grammar school. Is it still read? If not, sad.
To make sure everyone understood the Pied Piper’s involvement in the article, I told the story of the Pied Piper in the first half of the column.
Tomorrow night is blog talk radio time. My internet show at 9. The shutdown will obviously be discussed. Also the U.S.’s recent raids into Libya and Somali. I question the wisdom and propriety of these raids. The issue will make for interesting talk. www.blogtalkradio.com/key-west-lou.
Today is a significant day in history. My history. My Mother, were she still alive, would have been 99. Happy Birthday, Mom!
She died 24 years ago at the age of 75. I still miss her terribly. She continues to be in my mind almost daily. I talk with her. She was a wise woman. I generally ask her Why? when something not to my liking occurs.
Enjoy your day!
