I got up extra early today because our house is being reroofed. But they didn't show up until 9 am. The place is already a mess, but in two weeks it should be back to normal. The dogs have something to watch now, so I'm sure they're gratified. We'll see how noisy it is. I'm going out to lunch with a friend, so that should help. I may need more mysteries to get through this.
Last night I watched a movie I like and my husband doesn't, since he is away. "The International" with Clive Owen and Naomi Watts. It has no romance, but is a tightly plotted thriller that has a really scary message about banks, a message that they are brokering arms deals and other ways of gaining power, none of which have to do with lending money to ordinary people. The film is exaggerated, but it's a warning that should be heeded. It's a thinking person's thriller.
I spoke for a long time with my childhood friend yesterday. Now that we are both retired, we have more time to connect, and it's been really nice. We're on different coasts, so the old fashioned phone call suits both of us. I learn more about my long ago self from her, and see the threads from teenage years that follow me today. Useful information.
