1. The Troxstar stopped by and we ambled over to St. Mary's Episcopal Church for the 11:00 Eucharist and caught a bit of the excitement in the building roused by the 9:30 service and the baptism of Tiberius Fortuna. After the Eucharist, we strolled back to our respective homes and, in the course of the late morning, pretty much figured out solutions to all that seems to trouble the world.
2. Christy assured me with some expert gardening tips that if I do it when the air is cool, water them liberally, and give them a drink of fertilizer, I should be able to successfully transplant the two zinneas I want to move from the front of the house to the back.
3. His face sags under the weight of weariness. The bags under his watery eyes, the deep furrows across his forehead, the nicotine deepened voice, the restraint of his manner, walk, and gestures all suggest ghosts, a haunted man. Philip Baker Hall as Sydney in the movie Hard Eight plays a man deeply divided within himself between a past that will not leave him alone and his longing to give the love of a father to a young man at the end of his rope sitting near the entrance of a diner and a casino waitress who supplements her income by hooking. These roles are played by John C. Reilly and Gwyneth Paltrow. I enjoyed this movie's seriousness, its many moods, the world it created, and the way these actors, along with Samuel L. Jackson, brought the aching of these characters to life.
