Tell No One is streaming on Amazon Prime.
I highly recommend it.
It’s so good and so suspenseful, that I watched it twice in a row on a long flight from London to Los Angeles. Then I took several friends to see it, so I guess I’ve seen it at least 4 times.

I lived in one house until the age of 11, then moved to the house where I lived until I left for college. My brother and his wife still live in that house.

I, on the other hand, have lived in at least 20 different apartments, and 7 houses, scattered around Maryland, New York, Phoenix, and all over Los Angeles…probably 12 different cities in Southern California.

Favorite places were Santa Monica and Laguna Beach.
I miss living there, and always will.

Have you seen the film Tell No One? Wonderful French thriller, based on the novel by Harlan Coben. I think you would like it very much.

Twice. Once in the theaters. It was great.

It is. I’m hankering for a slice, too, but it’s for the dance tonight. So I must wait.

Did you ever read the book? I can’t remember if I did.

No, I haven’t read the book, but I hear the ending is a bit different.
Can’t imagine anything improving upon the film.

Wonderful production of La Fanciulla. Deborah Voigt had me in tears at the end. Or maybe it was Puccini who did. Whatever the cause, the magic worked.

On the deck, sipping a Gewürztraminer.

With an ice cube in it. Cheating, because it didn't have time to chill.

Delicious.

I moved into this house in 1971.....I bought it from my parents in 1981 when they were planning a move to Florida.

Then the move got canceled for my father's health.....and so we lived in it all these years.....my father passed in 2015 and my mother in 2018 - so I have only lived alone here for 4 years.

Tell No One is very good - I saw it at a French film festival at the DGA. That was in 2007 and I wrote about it in the notes that very night. I liked it but found it wasn't perfect, and was annoyed by the musical score. Really liked the actors.  Will watch it again.
