Old Age Day by Day August 3, 2012

Today is a double girlfriend day.  I'm having lunch with one and movie and dinner with another.  Sweet!  as my son would say.  Both of these friends also have their birthdays next week, but we aren't celebrating that yet.  I don't want to get ahead of the wagon.  The movie we are seeing tonight is "Beast of the Southern Wild" and Sunday, with yet another friend, we're going to the AiWeiWei documentary.  So - three independent quality films in one week (I saw Crazy Wisdom Tuesday) - my cup runneth over.  Two are documentaries, which seem to be really great these days.

And in between, I'm reading a great mystery and have two other interesting books lined up right behind.  Harry Dolan is a terrific writer, and I just bought "Dear Sugar" about an online advice columnist in Portland, Oregon, that looks fascinating.  I heard her interviewed on NPR yesterday, and after that one a mystery set in India.  An embarassment of riches, for sure.
