897 It's the week-end

Again snow! Last night we went to the dollar theater to see "National Treasure" with Nicholas Cage, and when we came out it was again a winter wonderland, but in the second week in March, that is getting a bit old. Huge flakes, blowing. We could barely see to get out of the parking lot. We had planned to go out to eat after the movie, but decided to head for home and eat left-overs. The cat was pleased--she just hates our Friday night dates.

But the movie was very good and we enjoyed it. We had some popcorn, saw some friends. It's an adventure movie, but a minimum of killing that I could see. I think one guy disappears into a pit never to be seen again (bad guy); someone is shot but we learn later he was not killed. No sex. So it's fairly safe if you want to take the younger folks--or the older folks like me who are sort of picky about language and violence in films.

Tonight we're going out for dinner at the home of friends who are marvelous cooks. Their home is filled with wonderful antiques, and the other guests are always interesting. It should be a fun evening. It's coming up on the anniversary of our first date--1959.
