Remember the veterans today. We owe them for their sacrifices.
The Prairie Crocus is enjoying working at London Drugs in the cosmetics department. The other people who work there are very friendly and welcoming. We certainly get some colourful customers. There is one man who came in the other night about a half hour before closing. His clothes are all too big for him and were held together with huge safety pins. He dropped the names of the former manager and current manager of the cosmetics probably to establish that he was harmless. Then he proceeded to talk my ear off about global warming, the weather, the windstorm last year, his father taking up Spanish in his later years, living in a foreign country. It was random and non-stop! I was pretty much a captive audience. Lotsa nodding and smiling on my part. There should be a bonus for dealing with boring customers!
Last night I went to the restaurant where my daughter works and had my usual halibut dinner. Great! Then we went out for a couple of drinks after she was finished work. I'm hoping to have my fabulous daughter and her talented husband over for dinner tomorrow.
I went to see "No Country For Old Men." The Coen brothers were up to their usual tricks. Just when I think I've got them figured out, they do something surprising. It was a very dark thriller. Tommy Lee Jones' performance was terrific. I'm thinking Oscar nomination. Javier Bardem also did a great job in the character of a cool killer. But this movie was not one of my favourites. I found the ending unsatisfying. If you like the Coen brothers you might like this one but I caution those who don't like "weird" movies.
Got to go and get ready for work. I work today from 5:00 till 10:00. I'll be getting double time as it's a statutory holiday! Woo hoo! Keep well.
