Movie Friday

Dennis won't be here Tuesday, so he and Mom and I went to the movies on Friday. We saw Jack Reacher. We all have read the entire Reacher series and I've been rereading them from the beginning. The best thing about getting old and losing your memory is that you can reread books and they seem brand new. I have yet to remember anything.

I spent the first part of the movie being mad that they chose Tom Cruise to play Jack Reacher. Reacher is 6' 5" tall, a giant compared to dinky Cruise. Yet, as the movie progressed, I began to enjoy Cruise's performance. We liked the movie, but all of us agree that Liam Neeson (6'5") or Jim Caviezel (6"2") (Person of Interest) would have been a more likely choice.

This morning (Saturday) we met Angie, Gary, Danielle, Bryan and baby Morgan for breakfast at Cafe 67 in Lakeside. We had a nice visit and were happy to see that Dani, Bryan and Morgan looked healthy and happy (well, Morgan cried a little).

In the afternoon, I took Flash for a mile walk around the ranch while Dennis stayed in town getting my car serviced and doing some errands.

Tonight we are watching the premier of Merlin, Season 5. I started knitting a scarf so I would have something to do while watching TV besides work on my computer. Yet, here I am doing this.
