Nothing but Flowers

Tuesday's with Morrie was pretty good! I was the youngest person in the audience by about 25 years, with the exception of the twentysomething nurse sitting behind me serving as caretaker for an elderly blind&one-legged man. The demographic didn't surprise me--Sunday matinee in the suburbs, gotta expect it. The production value was high: the actors were great, the designs were solid and appropriate, etc. I felt a little manipulated (this is the point where you cry, this is the point where you laugh, etc.), but less so than I expected. And hey, I'm not the target demographic.
Other than that, yesterday I did homework and watched "The Untouchables" on DVD (the movie, not the TV show). Every time I see it I remember that it is really an amazingly good movie, despite the relegation of women to helpless providers of babies (which is, one must note, a function of the movie being set in the 30's).
It's supposed to hit 50 today. Heat wave!
