090808

Not much really to report today. It's a Monday.

Work: same old stuff. Putting together the pieces of the Annual Report. Organizing the details of the concert events this Saturday. Sandi isn't talking about the fancy fundraising dinner this past Saturday so I think something happened; usually she'd be giving a play-by-play. Anne said that they may all just be coming down with a bug (don't come near me!).

Reading: THE BLACK PATH by Asa Larsson and listening to SECRET SERVANT by Daniel Silva.

TV: The Closer, Jon & Kate Plus 8, Paranormal State. Typical busy Monday night.

Movies: Last night I watched The Martian Child (2007) starring John Cusack. It was on HBO. Always love Joan Cusack in these movies with her brother. Here's the blurb:
What's the nature of being a parent and of being a child? David is a widower grieving for two years. He writes science fiction and was considered weird as a boy. He meets Dennis, a foster child who claims to be on a mission from Mars, stays in a large box all day, fears sunlight, and wears a belt of flashlight batteries so he won't float away. David takes the six-year-old home on a trial. His sister and his wife's best friend offer support, but the guys are basically alone to figure this out. Dennis takes things, is expelled, and is coached by David in being normal. Will the court approve the adoption, and will Dennis stay? Can a man become a father and a child become a son?
Very touching, rated PG.

So I'll get home, walk Tug, deal with dinner, watch some TV, read a little Larsson, and go to bed. Oh, for the first time in a while I haven't used drops for my eyes and things are still okay. Maybe I'm getting past it. Still on Zyrtec for a few more days.

I think that's it. Told you it was quiet.

Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
