Fingers Crossed for Election

We attended a rally this afternoon where Caroline Kennedy spoke in support of Barack Obama. We voted early but we're eager for election day to come so we can direct our thoughts elsewhwere. It looks close so we're holding our breath. My laptop computer broke a week or so ago. I bought a new one which arrived Wednesday. Our website is no longer hosted by AOL. It may be gone forever or until I get inspired to create a new one.

Great Movie - Changeling

We can highly recommend Changeling which we saw last night at a prescreening. It is a compelling serious suspenseful drama starring Angelina Jolie and directed by Clint Eastwood. It is based on a true story which took place in the 1920s about corruption within the LAPD. The film is outstanding in its period look. See it for the great story but don't expect to have fun.

The Secret Life of Bees

At Muvico last night we saw The Secret Life of Bees. It's about troubled relationships and racial prejudice in South Carolina in the 1960s. I won't call it a "must see" but it's definitely worth seeing in spite of its flaws.

Is Summer Over?

This morning with a breezy, fresh, and welcome coolness, five of us enjoyed a delightful walk across both bridges with a breakfast stop at TooJays.
Yesterday we went downtown to the first-of-the-season greenmarket.
Friday morning we again held Obama signs. Anyone wishing to help with the Obama campaign, I urge to be in touch with me. The volunteering can be personally rewarding as well as potentially world-changing.

Theater and Politics

Yesterday morning we held signs again but this time at the corner of Congress and Palm Beach Lakes. In the evening at Muvico we took in a good movie -- Appaloosa. It is a very entertaining western with plenty of big stars. Today we went to a musical stageshow at the Cuillo Theater entitled Makeover. The cast was very good but we've seen better shows there.

Dining and Politics

Monday morning we again held Obama signs and later attended an Obama rally where Senator Barbara Boxer spoke.
This evening we went with the Dining Out group to Pei Wei in Boynton.

Music & Politics

We've been participating in the Barack Obama visibility efforts by doing a little sign-holding. It isn't much but we feel we should do something. Thursday evening we enjoyed the German band at CityPlace. Friday night we attended a most delightful concert at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church Parish Hall. Missy McArdle and William Stafford sang the music of Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen, Cole Porter, and George Gershwin.

Movie Recommendation

We saw Religulous at movico last night. I recommend it for all who are willing to see the humor in religion.

The Dutchess

Thursday evening we went with 5 others and saw The Dutchess at Muvico in Boynton. It is an eighteenth century English drama with wonderful costumes and filming locations. We all enjoyed it and I can recommend it.
Saturday morning we went for the first Saturday aerobic walk at John Prince Park. Because of conflicts there were only five walkers but we had a good time (surprisingly) walking in the rain.
We saw a coral snake on the nature trail.
