Marilyn and I are watching the TV series "Forever" -- featuring actors Ioan Gruffudd (whom we LOVE), Alana De La Garza and Judd Hirsch. It's apparently received poor reviews, which surprises me.

Marilyn and I were both tired, so we decided not to drive to Seaside today. We're thinking we'll go down tomorrow, instead.

We spent a quiet day here, mainly watching TV. (A lot of "The Virginian" and "Big Valley.") Then this evening we got a movie On Demand: "Godzilla." We really loved it!

Marilyn and I actually got up at a decent hour today. We find it hard to do that on the weekend, as a rule. Our time off is so much about getting LOTS OF SLEEP these days ( Read more... )

This evening Marilyn and I went to dinner at a new place in St. John's called Brekken's (it used to be the Portland Rose Chinese restaurant). It's located right on Lombard, not far from the St. John's Theater ( Read more... )

Marilyn and I spent a lot of tme napping/sleeping today, and watching TV. That included a couple of our favorite movies: "True Grit" (with John Wayne) and "Angels & Demons" (with Ewan McGregor ( Read more... )
