DR GINNY that's terrible.....go to another post office....oh....well....write the Postmaster General!

It has dawned on me this evening that the clerk gave me my tracking slip but not a receipt for the $4.05 I spent. It would have had a customer satisfaction survey that I definitely would have filled out.

T.O.D.

Once again, nothing.

I'm beginning to think I've lost interest in watching new movies. I don't go to theaters any longer. I don't think I've rented more than 2 or 3 DVDs this year. There's just nothing out there I care to see.

I watch certain shows on TV (e.g. those produced by Dick Wolfe), and occasionally an old movie in my large DVD library, but I really have no interest in anything recent.

Is it me, or are they just not making good movies any longer?

I’d rather watch — or rewatch — an old favorite than a superhero movie or something of that ilk.

I picked up a copy of Wild Strawberries last night. Haven’t seen it since I was in high school, but it’s been a treasured film of my past. May hold off watching it until the recuperating begins. It’s slow and I think I will be, too.

Sometimes I go back to an old movie that I loved; watch it again and am very disappointed.

That happened a couple months ago when I re-watched THE STUNT MAN with Peter O'Toole.

I loved that film when it came out. Watched it several more times on DVD.

But, it had been 10-12 years since I'd watched it last and, this time it was disappointing.

Don't know why. O'Toole was great fun.

I think with Stunt Man that the surprise factor was part of the joy that came with the first viewing. Event with a 20-year lapse, I remembered most of the surprises on the second visit and it as more about the performances than anything else.

After a great lunch, I had an atrocious Thanksgiving dinner tonight. It was at the dance studio and it was only turkey, not very creamy mashed potatoes, dressing that looked too dreadful to dry, a roll and gravy. Nothing else. No vegetable, no cranberry, no butter for the roll.

And I now have indigestion.

I've started watching Satyajit Ray's Indian version of Enemy of the People. Wonderful stuff.

John G. · « **Reply #94 on:** November 17, 2017, 09:03:10 PM »

Makes me wonder why nobody has done a Flint, Mich., version of this. Couldn't be more timely.

John G. · « **Reply #95 on:** November 17, 2017, 09:04:18 PM »

I won't be able to watch all of this tonight.

John G. · « **Reply #96 on:** November 17, 2017, 09:04:51 PM »

I think half the city seemed to have left town tonight. The traffic was just horrible.

John G. · « **Reply #97 on:** November 17, 2017, 09:05:12 PM »

I will have to avoid the groceries this weekend, if I can.

John G. · « **Reply #98 on:** November 17, 2017, 09:06:57 PM »

Do I see Vixmom?

John G. · « **Reply #99 on:** November 17, 2017, 09:07:06 PM »

Or don't I?

John G. · « **Reply #100 on:** November 17, 2017, 09:07:16 PM »

Gratuitous post No. 100!

John G. · « **Reply #101 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:18:29 PM »

Good night, all.

John G. · « **Reply #102 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:18:52 PM »

Hope the Levi opening is going well.

Jane · « **Reply #103 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:34:57 PM »

I will second that.

TCB · « **Reply #104 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:50:34 PM »

Good evening.

TCB · « **Reply #105 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:51:10 PM »

First post after "Good evening."

TCB · « **Reply #106 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:51:34 PM »

Page 4? Really?

TCB · « **Reply #107 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:52:08 PM »

I've got nothing this evening.

TCB · « **Reply #108 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:52:33 PM »

I never left the house today.

TCB · « **Reply #109 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:53:32 PM »

In fact, I took a monumental nap today.

TCB · « **Reply #110 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:54:50 PM »

After spending the morning on the computer, I was feeling a little worn out.

TCB · « **Reply #111 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:55:25 PM »

So, about noon, I went and took a nap.

TCB · « **Reply #112 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:56:06 PM »

And this was an epic.

TCB · « **Reply #113 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:56:56 PM »

Nicky did wake me at 2:30, wanting his dinner.

George · « **Reply #114 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:57:28 PM »

Hi, Tom.

TCB · « **Reply #115 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:57:55 PM »

So, I got up, I fed Nick, and then I went back to taking a nap.

TCB · « **Reply #116 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:58:32 PM »

Hi, George.

George · « **Reply #117 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:59:35 PM »

Did anyone watch Indecent on PBS tonight?

TCB · « **Reply #118 on:** November 17, 2017, 10:59:36 PM »

Bottom line, I didn't really get up from my nap until 7:00 p.m.

TCB · « **Reply #119 on:** November 17, 2017, 11:01:49 PM »

I did turn on the TV around 5:30 and half napped and half watched the news.
