Today was a somewhat better excuse for a day than was yesterday!
I began my day with a drive to Aiken to have my blood drawn for an appointment next week. I hurried home after to get lunch at The Triangle because today was fried cubed steak day. I complemented it with smashed taters and crowder peas and washed it down with a large unsweetened iced tea.
This afternoon, I treated myself to a viewing of "Murder by Decree" with Christopher Plummer, James Mason and a host of British film royalty. Beautiful cast, strong production but a weakish script that meanders along to a not-too-convincing showdown between Sherlock Holmes and a triumvirate of Prime Minister, Home Secretary and Head of Scotland Yard. It wasn't a waste of my time, but it might have been so much better. Directed, surprisingly, by Bob Clark, of "A Christmas Story" fame.
I continued my splurge into back episodes of "Haven". Honestly, I find I am familiar with all the characters but seemed never to have paid the slightest attention to story lines when I first saw it! That's pretty good, actually, because I am quite enjoying them now...but still wondering what the heck I thought I was watching when I watched them when first aired.
Today has felt like Friday all day, but I do know that's tomorrow (actually, here in South Carolina, it's now "today" as it's a quarter past midnight).
Who knows what merriment awaits me??!!
