Monday Wrap: Movie time,

-Netflix movie this evening: The Great Happiness Space. A strange and maybe even sad documentary about Japanese host boys, who, it seems, for the most part host Japanese host girls. Yes, it is a foreign movie and yes it had subtitles. Held our interest but in the end I gave it a rating of just three. Disturbing...

-started a new book that the library got for me: Goodbye, Darkness, a Memoir of the Pacific War, by William Manchester. It was recommended by Ken Burns and The War. It's Manchester's account of his time in The War, one that was written thirty years after the fact. Barely into it; looks engrossing... The Crossing will have to wait a little bit as will Licensed to Kill, Hired Guns in the War on Terror by Robert Young Pelton, a book I ordered from Amazon.com for Eric along with a book on Blackwater.

-something to ponder and maybe live by:

"Life is unfair." but "What goes around, comes around." Go figure.

Golf with the boys, Jack and Jack and Ken and Rex, was good today. Diane warmed me up with three holes before I joined them for their back nine. They were very generous. More good golf weather tomorrow.

BTW, did you catch American Masters on PBS tonight? Good ol' Charles Schulz. A good one.
