I have returned to The Eternal Sea. Alexis Smith snd Sterling Hayden are good, but the script is a little trite.

We also had fajitas (beef and chicken), guacamole, black beans, stir-fried peppers and onions, salsa and more.

What happened to the no-bake cheesecake?

Back from a wonderful piano recital. The widow of the famed pianist Leon Fleisher, who is a fine pianist in her own right.

Leon Fleisher lost the use of his right hand, but still had quite a career. He commissioned many works for the left hand alone.

Then, near the end of his life, he tried a stem cell therapy and regained the use of his right hand for playing.

I started watching Bradley Cooper in Burnt. I hadn't seen the movie in a few years and forgot even if I had seen it. I had. It's just not that memorable. But the food is pretty.

Was running around since I returned, taking Mrs R’s car in for service, taking the boy to a birthday party, celebrating the mother in law’s birthday belatedly…

Somehow during my air travel I lost the two cup-like ear pad things from my AirPods headphones. What a pain. Meant I couldn’t hear anything I watched on the airplane flights home. (If I tried to listen without the covers, I got painful swirling squeaks in both ears.)

Oppenheimer, which I liked the lead performance but found the narrative a bit confusing and jumpy. Been doing some research to find out what liberties were taken with the truth.  All in all, a watchable film.

I was kind of glad to not have to listen to what the closed captions constantly referred to as “eerie music intensifies.”

The Holdovers. Engaging. Solid acting. Just watched the trailer to find the young lead’s voice is deeper than I’d imagined. Kinda mawkish in spots. What I liked is it didn’t hammer me over the head with period detail.

One adult character is set up as the villain of the piece, but I didn’t find he did anything particularly wrong.
