A Most Delightful Day

We didn't drive anywhere today. It has been a very long time since we stayed home all day (except for the morning walk). We'll be leaving Sunday for a week in Costa Rica. We look forward to the visit of our friends, Larry and Leslie Chlebeck, the following week. Then we must apply ourselves to the preparations for our summer trip.

Two Movies and a Play

Today we saw A Jew Grows in Brooklyn at the Cuillo Centre and I enjoyed it more than I expected. It was funny, poignant, and touching. The single performer was very talented. Last night we saw Leatherheads directed by George Clooney.-- a comedy about the beginnings of professional football. It was mildly entertaining but not important. We also, last night, attended a pre-screening of The Visitor -- a sensitive & thoughtful Film. I was very impressed with the acting and direction and rate it very high.

History Museum & Concert










Friday we had lunch at Russo's then toured the new Palm Beach County History Museum. The icing on the cake was a musicale with The Yale Wiffenpoofs in Pan's Garden.

Jane's Birthday

Thursday we had dinner at The Station House in Lantana so Jane could have lobster and then we attended a production of Best Little Whorehouse in Texas at Lake Worth Playhouse. The dinner was nice and we enjoyed the play. They did a good job with what, I felt, was mediocre material and a pedestrian score.

Getting caught up


Tuesday April fool's day at The Kravis was Simply Ballroom -- a beautiful show.
Thursday at the Paramount was the movie Love Me or Leave Me.Friday at the Rinker Theatre was comedian Lauren Weedman.
Last Friday's movie at the Four Arts was Avenue Montaigne also known as Fauteuils d'orchestre. I enjoyed it and recommend it in spite of my difficulty with subtitles. It is a French film about a TV star, a concert pianist, and a millionaire businessman, all of whom are dissatisfied with their lives.
Saturday we went to Okeeheelee Nature Center and heard a fascinating lecture on the Archaeology of Lake Okeechobee. Later we went to diner with Phoebe & Robert Dowdy.
Sunday: Read the paper.
Monday we volunteered at The Kravis for Neil Berg's 100 years of Hollywood.
Tuesday we both had dermatology appointments and in the evening went to Bob Lapin's Palm Beach Pops concert.
Wednesday Judy Jaksch hosted a picnic. Six of us, along with Midnight, the dog, had an enjoyable evening.
