Old Age Day by Day May 1, 2013

May day, may day.  And it is as warm as it should be.  The spirits lift automatically with this weather.  I watched a terrific 1940s movie last night with Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, directed by George Cukor.  "Keeper of the Flame" it's called.  Very dramatic, but so pertinent still, it's about a charismatic leader who is actually a fascist.  It was great fun to see.  Three thumbs up. 

I had a bracing discussion with our older son at breakfast.  I like it when he stays over for his work and we get to talk a bit.  We were of course discussing the A's, but then admired Jerry Brown, our fair governor.  Talk about pragmatism.  This guy knows how to get things done, and he has a vision as well.  Sigh.  Wish there were more politicians like him.  Maybe you have to be a Jesuit first.  It's a thought.

Now I'm off to walk to the post office, just for the air mainly.  But there are things to be mailed.  There usually are.
