Phone calls come in steadily throughout the day for Kathy’s “Mother’s
Day.” 1st call from Katrina in Denver, then Nick from Seattle. Next, we
rendezvous with Melissa in Strongstown, & later Zack calls from Seattle.
She really enjoyed hearing from all of her children today.
@ 1:10pm we drive to the small town of Strongstown, & join up with the
Footes + my cousin Florentz & his wife Anna for a Mother’s Day dinner
celebration. We eat the ham dinner & talk for 1.5 hrs. The dinner meal was
held in a very old historical school building.
Evening movie: “Shortcuts” with Robert Altman, Andie MacDowell, Jack
Lemmon, Lily Tomlin, Robert Downey Jr., etc. A series of short stories all
happening @ the same time but eventually, interconnected. Basically, a
mordant mosaic of unpleasant, unhappy lives in Southern California. As a
feat, a directorial achievement-it’s something to behold & admire, but as
entertainment it’s less rewarding. 1.5 hrs into the film, we tired of the
unpleasantry & stopped the show. 1993
