    We had a relaxing and enjoyable evening listening to storyteller Willie Clafin on Saturday night. What enjoyable and intelligent humor! (For those in attendance, III is the right not to be required to host soldiers in your home.)

    We'll make a point of going to other Storytelling functions.

    On week ends that we don't have plans to see an event in town we often just watch old movies, favorites that we can enjoy over and over. This week end was one of those. It started with me watching 6 Bulldog Drummond movies. None of them are an academy award winner that I know of but all were fun and an excape. Then we watched several Hercule Peirot movies. With their Art Deco and Art Moderne settings, outstanding fashions and great old automobiles, this is eye candy for us. The bonus of interesting filming and great lines just adds to the enjoyment. Of course, Poirot uses only his little grey cells to catch the criminals. This must have been a successful week end because we also were able to have a great Cobb salad. It's not so bad to stay home.

    CMF-
    If you are a fan of classic films, Turner Classic Movies is featuring a Val Lewton fest tonight--including a new documentary by Matin Scorsese. In case you don't know, Lewton created such gore-less creepies as The Cat People. Wonderful, atmospheric stuff. And the documentary should be fascinating.
    Plus, if you like the classics, consider catching City Lights at Key Cinemas this week. Also watch for screenings at the ArtCraft Theatre in Franklin. One thing that makes a classic even better is seeing it on the big screen with a full audience.

    On this last note, I enjoyed the Star's Indy.com review capsule of City Lights. It said: This film was not screened for critics.

    We, too, heard Willie Clafin at the Indiana Historical Society. Lots of laughter and not a single dirty joke (such a rarity these days - or so it seems).

    Their next big event is February 16 - the Story Telling society's annual fund raiser. It's a not to be missed event.

  1. Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

  2. Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

  3. I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

  4. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

  5. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
