Dining Out and Movie Recommendation


Eight of us dined out last night at ZaZa Mediterranean Grill.
This evening we attended another movie at The Four Arts. I highly recommend Amazing Grace. It is an inspiring story based on a legendary historical British Member of Parliament, William Wilberforce. During the late 18th century and early 19th century, a very young Wilberforce is elected to Parliament and over the course of several decades leads the fight to ban slavery.

Four Movies in Two Days

Yesterday and today we've seen four movies. Here's my take:
Stop Loss is a sad and disturbing film about the Iraq war. I feel it is an important film and would recommend it but only for those who are prepared for its seriousness. Other's comments.
21 is about a team of very bright Harvard students who make a killing in Las Vegas casinos. It is very engaging and entertaining but unimportant. I recommend it. Other's comments.
Horton Hears a Who! is a light, very imaginative, and enjoyable film. It may not be important but I recommend it. Other's comments.
Many enjoyed Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day but I was somewhat disappointed with this insignificant and only mildly amusing comedy.

"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.

Historic Courthouse Opened

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

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.
