Old Age Day by Day April 17, 2013

We tried to watch "The Snows of Kilamejaro" last night, but it was too awful.  Macho Hemingway and pretentious.  Lots of shooting of wildlife.  Then we tried "The Last Time I Saw Paris", with Van Johnson and Elizabeth Taylor and it was pretty good.  Van Johnson was terrific.  These films come out of a two DVD set of 15 films, none of which I'd ever seen except for Jose Ferrer's Cyrano D'Bejerac".  So there's a "David Copperfield" with every great British actor of the time, and a few others that could be worth watching.  Boy was Elizabeth Taylor gorgeous.  She was 22 in this movie, and really did a believable job.  Walter Pigeon was her father, Donna Reed her sister.  And then there are the shots of Paris.  Always pleasant.

So today I think I'm taking my granddaughter to the museum.  There are hands-on exhibits she likes there and we haven't been in a long time.  Its a beautiful day and warmer.  We can wander the sculpture gardens.
