Tomorrow is the anniversary of the day I met Dennis. July 9, 1965. It doesn't seem possible that is 42 years ago. It feels like yesterday. Thanks to brother Gary I have video of us in 1965 and 1966. We were unbelieveably young and good-looking, weren't we?
Yesterday I went to a movie with my sister. We went to see "You Kill Me," with Ben Kingsley and Tea Leoni. It's a dark comedy about a hit man with a drinking problem that starts to affect his job, so he goes to AA. Much of the movie was filmed in Winnipeg and one of my friends has a part in it. I recognized the Forks and the train station and other places in Winnipeg, standing in for Buffalo. My friend Lorraine plays a member of AA, Brenda. It was a most entertaining movie. Just the kind of wry humour he loved. It's worth seeing. Congrats to Lorraine. Hope you get lots more work.
I have been out making the rounds of some retail stores on a job hunt. I decided I needed a part time job to keep me busy. One can only do so much working out and walking on the beach. I wouldn't have room for any more furniture so the assembling and painting are finished. Now that I am pretty settled in I have lots of free time. Too much free time, really! Never thought I'd ever say that.
So, I updated my resume, went to my daughter's hair stylist for a new hair cut, donned my Calvin Klein suit and boldly walked into most of the designer stores in Vancouver. I left resumes at Ferragamo's, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Tiffany's, Holt Renfrew. Which might be a mistake. If I do get a job at one of those places, I'll probably want to buy all the things I'm selling. I'll keep you all posted on the job hunt. Wish me luck.
Tata and take care...and PEACE.
