a day at home
I made a very important discovery thanks to being home all day: TCM hasn't stopped showing old black and white movies, thank heavens! They're just showing them in the wee hours or during the day when most of us are at work. Maybe they get a cut-back from vcr and dvr makers, what do you think? The good news today is that I got to watch three 70-minute wonderful movies. And I knew this but had forgotten that women and minorities were more even-handedly written and played then than now. (Of course it wouldn't be hard to write more intelligent adult women than are on How I Met Your Mother or Gray's Anatomy, but that's just me.) I also drank a fair amount of tea (spice, white and green), sucked Tylenol Cough and Cold meltaways (whoever invented meltaways deserves the as-yet-unannounced Nobel Prize for Kindness To Sick People), and draped new curtains over the windows in my living room with clips so I can see if I like them or not. Also went out briefly in the nice mellow sunshine and fed oil to my red metal housemate, the one that takes me to the train every day. Exciting day.

That sounds like a perfect way to recover, relaxing with 3 movies! Hope you are feeling much better!

Best wishes, Laura

I wonder if the likes of Fay Wray and Lionel Barrymore knew how much some of us would enjoy and appreciate them. Thank you for your kind words. I hope this clingy cold doesn't make its way to your coast.
