"Christ Is Risen."

Happy Easter! The stone is rolled away. Everyone's in church, Easter anthem, thrilling special music, arrays of lilies, new duds, colored eggs, chocolate bunnies, ham -- all fond but fading memories for this heathen. After biting the ears off the chocolate bunny, what's left? Eating all the rest -- and remorse.

We were delighted to have Steve and Carol visiting today from Merritt Island.

History was lost when in 1969 the historic 1916 Palm Beach County Courthouse was hidden from view and buried within a wraparound addition. Today, that historic structure was returned to the public by the grand opening of that restored courthouse. program cover - page 2 - page 3

Spamalot Tuesday at the Kravis was delightful. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.

West Side Story

This evening we attended the Dreyfoos School of the Arts production of West Side Story. The performance was excellent as expected, however they continue to have sound problems.

Yesterday morning as we were driving on South Dixie by Howley's restaurant we saw a big crowd. We stopped and got a brief look at John McCain.
Last night at Movico we saw The Other Boleyn Girl. I was disappointed with it and can't recommend it.

We enjoyed the Bak School's production of Annie last night.

Sadie Hawkins Day

Our Sadie Hawkins Day game party was last night.

Dinner Party

Guests for dinner this evening were Michael Hanna, Judy Jaksch, Polly Crosby,and Bob Pearce.

The Italian & Dining Out

The Italian is another wonderful foreign film we saw at The Four Arts. I highly, highly recommend this movie which is set in a rundown orphanage in a remote Russian village.

Yesterday we also enjoyed the Dining Out which Sue Petty organized and was attended by eighteen diners.

New Movie - In Bruges

If you can overlook the violence and constant raunchy language, In Bruges, filmed in Belgium, is funny, entertaining, quirky, and emotional and offers a lot to discuss. We enjoyed it on several levels -- especially the fine acting and interesting location. We also saw Definitely, Maybe. It is cute and and entertaining but not a movie I would highly recommend.

Thieves of Bagdad

Last night we attended a teriffic lecture at the Merriott called Thieves of Bagdad.
Today we attended Frugal Dining Out hosted by Billie Henin.

City Walk

We had ten walkers today. Some highlights included viewing the Botero sculptures at The Four Arts and boarding the Grand Luxe (an art gallery ship). Click for video.

Evergreen Guests

Evergreen guests Phyllis Wahl and John Blossom left this morning after staying three nights. Today is my birthday # 71. I'm gettin' up there. Still kickin' but slower.

Terrific Movie

At the Society of the Four Arts today we saw a terrific German film --The Lives of Others -- set in East Germany not long before the fall of the Berlin Wall. It is about the spying of the secret police. I can't praise this film too highly.

The two movies I saw yesterday Untraceable and 27 Dresses neither appealed to me and I wouldn't recommend them. Jane did enjoy 27 Dresses. Yesterday Jane again read to the kindergarten class at South Olive School.

Two Excellent Movies

There Will Be Blood is a "must see" for the performance by Daniel Day-Lewis the terrific writing and directing. I highly recommend it.

No Country for Old Men has terriffic performances, great characters, and everything well done but we didn't like the story. It keeps you on edge with a lot of violence. It left me "wrung out" but I still recommend it.
