Originally we only had one movie on Thursday so we decided to make Thursday our big night for dinner out. First I’ll tell you about the movies, then the food. We really wanted All the Light We Cannot See, because we both liked the book. Mark remembered but I forgot that what was showing here … [Read more…]
I felt like Tuesday was the day of well-made movies that went for the easy feel-good, kind of a guilty pleasure, basically how I felt watching This Is Us, like I know I’m being manipulated but it’s kind of nice. I think we started with a little breakfast at the AirBNB. We’d gone to the … [Read more…]
That would be Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Saturday: The Boy and the Heron Mother, Couch American Fiction The Boy and the Heron is the newest from Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki. TBH I liked some of his other films better, especially The Wind Rises, that we also saw here at TIFF (I think). Miyazaki said … [Read more…]
One of Mark’s sayings but seems to be the story of my life now. Or else some other truism about how activity, even reduced activity, like that of say a retiree, will grow to fill all available space. Either way, it’s been almost two weeks since I’ve written (blaming on busyness) and I feel there’s … [Read more…]
And sometimes I can swing my leg thru when I get on the bike, rather than awkwardly climbing on. Although sometimes I take pleasure because I think it’s a fake out – I look clumsy getting on but once I’m up I’m more graceful – so maybe the cars’ll stay outta my way. So life … [Read more…]
I am trying to figure out this retired thing, schedule-wise. I seem to never have time to do the things I thought I’d have more time for, like blog posts and art and food photography and reorganizing the basement. Cooking in general. Exercise. Fixing up the house. Oh, and I want to get another cat. … [Read more…]
Is the question everyone asks, and TBH, I still don’t feel all that retired, so I’ve been saying I don’t really know yet. I mean I still get two more paychecks. So I dunno. I’m still really worried I haven’t done all the paper work right and something’s going to screw up, especially because my … [Read more…]
Jiggity Jig. And now it’s been a week. Our last night in Denver we drove to Boulder to meet up with my cousin (my mother’s younger brother’s son, the ER doc, who’s moved to Denver for kind of a last 5 years of his career job, running a lab at University of Colorado Fort Collins) … [Read more…]
Or most of the rest, I guess – we’re still here until tomorrow. I’ve been a little better about taking pictures, but not writing so I think this will be a bit long! I’ll try to go chronologically so you can skip around. On Sunday after Mark walked and I iced my hand, we got … [Read more…]
We’re having a bit of a rocky start to the Denver vacation to meet the newest grandchild. First our flight got delayed a bunch. I got a text at about 6:30 AM that the our flight that was supposed to take off at 11:00 was not leaving at 1:48. Atypically we were flying out of … [Read more…]
