March and Movies
I wrote last night’s entry around 1:30am. Tonight, a few hours earlier, Jessica and I are planning to watch two movies, Suburban Girl and Trade. We would’ve started an hour earlier but we’re lazy parents on the weekend and let the children go to bed a little later. I’m hoping we’ll get to bed a little earlier tonight as we woke up a little late today. Today was bright, warm, and beautiful. Tomorrow, the complete opposite with snow forecasted. Colorado weather is unique and exciting every day. There is never a dull moment in this state and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
Inadvertently, and much to my chagrin, I forgot to mention that the United States Postal Service delivered my renewed passport yesterday. I submitted it on February 22, received it one week later. Now I’m legally able to enter Germany yet I’m placidly depressed. Someone mistakenly informed me when you renew your passport you get the old one back, you don’t! I had stamps and visas from many countries and ports of entry and now they are just a memory. The Department of State probably shreds old passports considering they are government property and our government historically misplaces documents.
Jessica and I finished watching Suburban Girl. It was a fun movie to watch with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alec Baldwin. Good acting, fun character development, and realistic, all qualities of this genre of movie I enjoy seeing. For once seeing Alec Baldwin in a semi-serious role outside of his 80s and 90s films was quite a change from his latest television roles. Sarah Michelle Gellar is a great actress who adds a semblance of beauty to virtually any movie she’s in. Admittedly, she wore some dresses that looked horrible but that’s not her fault.
My work is never finished. I’m on an international conference call that I’m hoping will end soon. It’s almost midnight and with one movie left, we’ll probably watch it tomorrow evening. I wonder if we’ll get an inch of snow or a foot of snow; I’m hoping for a foot.
