HAPPY BIRTHDAY MILLIE!
May there be many more to come!

Further thoughts from Saturday

As I mentioned previously I saw the movie "Eat, Pray, Love" this past Saturday and accompanied by one old friend and two new acquaintances.  I am always interested in the reaction of others to a new movie and was very happy we had the opportunity to discuss our various reactions over lunch.  One of my new acquaintances is just 3 years post divorce.  Her twenty something year marriage ended when hubby found a newer, younger model and left to recapture his lost youth. (my words not hers)  Anyway, my new friend was still red eyed from crying over the scene with Julia Roberts dancing with her ex on a balcony in India (in her imagination) while forgiving herself for walking out on her marriage when I realized I had no reaction to that emotional scene what-so-ever.  It became quite clear to me that I had indeed moved on from my own pain of divorce and I didn't envy the fresh open wound of my new friend.  A wound so easily re-opened by the sight of Julia dancing with her imaginary ex on a roof top.  While Julia was dancing I on the other hand was only thinking about where we were going to eat lunch!  Italy had already left me craving spaghetti and breadsticks.  Time does heal all wounds!

Lovely day with an old friend and met two new friends as well.  We went to see the movie Eat Pray Love with Julia Roberts.  I read the book so I was anxious to see how the movie would portray it.  Let me first say that I was not all that taken with the book so I was surpised about all the hype it has created.  The movie was good but for me forgettable.  The book had a lot more substance to it.  My favorite part was Italy and all the eating................ahhhhhhh to eat without guilt.............now that is a spiritual awakening.   I'm anxious to hear some other thoughts about the book or the movie.

PERKS OF AGING

I came across another perk of aging last night.  I went to dinner and a movie with a friend last night.  We decided a cheap $1.00 movie would be a great way to end the evening and upon stepping up to the ticket counter we were tactfully asked "Would you by chance be 60 years old or older?"  

I replied, "Why by chance we are."  

The cute young lady then said, "Well, if you are over 60 and the temp. reached 100 degrees today you get in free."

I then began to giggle louder and responded, "Thank goodness we didn't have to be over a 100."

So, what I'm trying to figure out is this,  are they thinking that because us "seniors" are risking life and limb by just venturing out in the heat we deserve a free movie if we survive the trip?

Just wondering! 

Actually, I know they are offering a way for lower income seniors to escape the heat if the do not have air conditioning and I applaud them for their efforts!  I just wonder if these same seniors have transportation to the movies.  Maybe that is something to look into -
