While we don’t “know” each other it’s nice to see familiar faces and we chat

My Thanksgiving is now up in the air. I was planning on visiting Bonnie in San Angelo, but she called to say her step-father had died. She doesn’t know what’s going to happen, so we’re playing it by ear. I’m okay with that.

That is sad.  It is also good you are flexible.

DR John a while back you had begun reading One is Inland by Tea Obreht.  Did you like it?  I looks interesting, however, I was just ok with The Tiger's Wife and am not sure I want to read another book by her.

I never had time to finish it before it was due back at the library. I may get it again, but right now six of my other reserved books are in. I finished Julie Andrews' autobiography today.

Watching Cross of Iron. Loved this exchange:

General: What will we do when we lose the war?
Captain: Prepare for the next one.

It's a rare sympathetic English-language film showing World War II from the Nazi perspective. The one odd moment or two stems from the fact that these actors all speak English, except when they sing. Then the songs are in German.

Thanks.  I suppose if you really liked what you read you would have checked it out again ;)

This morning we had a call from friends that were visiting Portland.  They hadn't realized how close we were.  We met them at the coffee shop near us.  Had we known there dog was in the car we would have asked them to come here.  We did invite them but the coffee shop is closer to the freeway for a quick exit south.

While walking along the river with their dog we met our neighbors with our upstairs dog.  The dogs enjoyed meeting, and of course getting treats.

I didn't get far enough into it to form an opinion. I was like you on "The Tiger's Wife."

I am more interested in Atwood's The Testaments and Rushdie's Quichotte. They're due in soon.

This movie ended with a terrific warning from Bertholt Brecht that really applies to today:

"Don't yet rejoice in his defeat, you men! Although the world stood up and stopped the bastard, The bitch that bore him is in heat again.”
