We had a lovely Thanksgiving with two of the kids and their signifigant others. Everything was so delicious, and the table looked beautiful and we had a relaxed time. In the afternoon we went to a matinee of "Lincoln", which exceeded my expectations. The movie achieved greatness, and Daniel Day-Lewis was extraordinary. I've never seen another performance on film as amazing. He was fully complex, alive and real. I'm in awe of his skill. Tony Kushner's screenplay is fabulous. Sally Field was terrific as well, and the rest of the cast excellent. The cinematography was gorgeous, with some scenes like sepia tin types. The film is a cry for our system and our democracy, and how complicated and strange and wonderful it can be.
Today I will avoid the crowds of shoppers, as always, and take it easy. It's beautiful fall weather, and after I put away the mountain of dishes we washed last night, I can enjoy the day.
