I have a teeth cleaning today and so does my husband. At our age, even routines can quickly turn to dental surgery and visions of teeth crumbling like crackers, so such an innocent activity has its inherent risks. I wear a mouth guard at night, and have ground my teeth to rubble, and my mouth is filled with cavities, crowns and the like. It is not a pretty picture, and when I smile wide there is the glittering of silver and dark recesses. At least I have my teeth; in the old days false teeth were the norm fairly young. So I appreciate the dental world, but nevertheless dread it.
I hope to make up for being so good by having some fun later on today. Perhaps lunch out or a good read in the sunroom or a movie.
I saw the movie "Beginners" yesterday, all by myself, and it was so much better than I expected from the preview. I was delighted with it, and the acting was knockout. I'm a big fan of Ewan McGregor, and Christopher Plummer sure has come into his own in his old age. All the characters were complex, funny and touching. I'm going to think about it a lot this week, I can tell.
So that makes 3 great movies in a row I've seen. "The Tree of Life" is superb and original, "Buck" is an inspiring documentary, and now "Beginners" is a great film about family. Wow! Can this be summer?!
