I just watched a plane land with the last of the red sky as the backdrop.

And four more came in as I was watching.

I'm closing up shop. Annabelle, who's been reading Edith Wharton, wants to watch The Age of Innocence.

I wish I liked that movie. But it's as if Martin Scorsese didn't realize the novel was a comedy -- and a nasty one at that.

I've got The Old Maid at home from the library. Bette Davis, Miriam Hopkins. Maybe Annabelle would like that better.

Went to a dinner party that started late. But it was with a group of people I hadn't seen in a while, so that was great.

It was called a barbecue, but the salmon was actually baked and the ribs were first cooked in a pressure cooker, then finished off in the oven. Both were excellent.

Desserts included a pecan torte, not really a pie. But the foundation was buttery and wonderful.

Then I made it to Bible study late. I didn't get there for the dinner (and didn't need anything). Apparently, they all just talked and planned next month's get-together.

Now I'm home.

I need to start packing for Chicago.

But I've started watching a Glenn Ford flick called Follow the Sun about the golfer Ben Hogan.

Hello, 1 guest!

What's your favorite golf movie?

John G. · « **Reply #72 on:** October 27, 2019, 08:18:34 PM »

Why am I watching a golf movie?

Anne Baxter is good in this. And she doesn't say "Moooses" once.

John G. · « **Reply #74 on:** October 27, 2019, 08:19:26 PM »

But it's still about golf.

The early forecast for Chicago calls for days in the 40s and nights in the 30s.

John G. · « **Reply #76 on:** October 27, 2019, 08:21:19 PM »

At least I'll be in Chicago.

John G. · « **Reply #77 on:** October 27, 2019, 08:21:27 PM »

And I won't be golfing.

John G. · « **Reply #78 on:** October 27, 2019, 08:22:06 PM »

The first day it's supposed to rain. Then be partly sunny most of the rest of the time.

I have packed my warmest shirt. I don't know what the convention rooms are going to be like. Too warm to stay awake? Cold and uncomfortable?

Page three??? Really?

Marshall and I supped at Casa Vega, and yes, taquitos for the appetizer. They didn't arrive as an appetizer, though - they came at the same time as the meal and our server was very gracious and comped them. They were good. Otherwise I had my usual beef taco and two cheese enchiladas. Rather stuffed.

Then we came back and I showed him the transfer and he was very impressed that the blow-up did not really degrade the 4x3 letterbox image at all and, in fact, improved on it by getting rid of the video scan lines. While we both wish it wasn't quite so blurry, it's acceptable, at least we hope everyone will realize what we were dealing with and how lucky we were to have anything at all on this movie.

I also showed him the two new video interviews and he really liked those.

Listening to the symphonies of Dvorak, conducted by Kubelik. Never heard any of these save for the ninth, so it's interesting and while they're not really my cuppa there are really some very nice things in the early symphonies.

Fran Kubelik's father?

Well, the final round has been golfed.

John G. · « **Reply #87 on:** October 27, 2019, 08:55:37 PM »

And we haven't made it off page 3.

John G. · « **Reply #88 on:** October 27, 2019, 08:55:53 PM »

But we can solve that one easily.

With one more post.
