| These Two Are Going to Miss Each Other |
I awoke yesterday to the flying fur of
the Buddy/Riggins Summit Meeting. I found my sleepy Favorite Son on the morning
watch while Riggins puttered around and my son fretted about a lost milk tooth.
Buddy was his usual frantic self when he wakes up in a house inhabited by the Keene
Friend. He wouldn’t calm down until the obligatory walk was delivered. I hated
leaving but a wifeless Sunday and work week prep beckoned.

Prior to leaving for New Hampshire on Saturday I
acquired a huge amount of dead animal flesh which I spent the better part of
Saturday rendering into eatable form. Any vegetarian entering my house
yesterday might have stroked out. I had in a short amount of time a pot roast,
hamburgers, meatballs and large (make that delicious) porter house steak all in
some form of processing.

| Wingman Was in Iowa Last Night But Heads Home Today |
My wife was packing her luggage for the
return trip (always an involved procedure) but took time out to watch the Red
Sox game with me via FaceTime. My granddaughter tuned in sporadically to check
on the score and be charming; it turns out she really likes sweet potatoes. I know
she didn’t get that from me. David Ortiz continues to amaze and elicits
memories of what he was like in October 2013. I wonder how long he can keep it
up? They’re a fun bunch to watch right now and Wednesday night I’ll have the couch-mate
back at my side commenting on, well just about everything.

| Fun Movie - Go See it |
I escaped the miasma of seared red
meat long enough to take in The Nice Guys – which I really liked. If
anyone was wondering what Russel Crowe has been up to for the last couple years
I learned the answer last night – he’s been eating donuts, Maximus certainly is in this movie. He and Ryan Gosling
who they now allow to actually speak in movies were a terrific pair together.
The semi-fondly remembered 1970s also got the obligatory skewering. They play a
pair of L.A. private eyes who are drawn into a convoluted missing person’s
case. The tone is irreverent from the start when a nude porn star drives her
car through an adolescent boy’s house. If nothing else this movie points out the
danger of hillside living in L.A. but I found it incredibly funny and
entertaining. It veers shamelessly between slapstick and action and never
forgets to be fun. It’s the best thing Crowe has done in a long while and maybe
the best thing Gosling has ever done. I really liked it.
