Some great action scenes, particularly the opening sequence in Mexico City, but the story is muddled and the film overlong.

And, if you haven't seen or, like me, don't remember the first 3 Bond movies with Daniel Craig, you're going to really be confused.

Thank you. The big anniversary news came from the Book of Face, which reminded me that four years ago today, I came home from the hospital after having cancer removed from a kidney. Still cancer free four years later, which is reason to rejoice and to remember those suffer from that nasty disease.

A few of us from Theater Artists Olympia are having a little meeting at The Midnight Sun about concessions and what is expected of our house managers. I'm not directly in the latest production (On the Verge), so I'm going to be a house manager during the last weekend.

Be back later.

Post by: bk on February 10, 2016, 04:50:38 PM: Got a pop up that Time Machine hadn't done a backup in ten days. Usually when that happens there's a little exclamation point in the icon, but nope, so just how I was supposed to know this is anyone's guess, unless I've missed other pop-ups. Sure enough it couldn't find the router, a typical problem - and why the typical problem? Because of damn Time Warner having gone down on January 31st for four hours. What else is new? I should just automatically check whenever it goes down like that. Luckily, I wrote up the instructions and have them saved, so it really only took a few seconds to get it to find the router - it's now preparing the backup.

Plus it took four or five days to get the final two blurbs. So, books in March is now iffy, but we'll see.

Talky play about a black family that's moved from the South to Chicago. But the cast is wonderful and the story involving.
