Awake: 5:35am Temp 65 sleep 5+28 overcast overnight @ Nicktown.
Early morning Skype call from Nick in Hong Kong; Kathy was just beginning to wake up & thought I was watching & talking with my buddy Ray from Ocean Park, WA. When she realized it was Nick, she came to life pronto. We gab for about (20) min with a fairly good signal; his time with the in-law’s & family while in Nagoya was great & his business in Hong Kong went very well. Now he & his colleague have (2) days to enjoy the area of Hong Kong & Kaloon, maybe even the Island of Macao.
K & I attend 8:00am Mass & then join the KK meeting for nearly (2) hrs.
During our late breakfast, we watch Charlie Gibson’s 1st interview of Sara Palin from Alaska; we had recorded it last night.
Mid afternoon, I spend a little more time using epoxy & setting up the wire support for the Brio track piece; after today, it should be ok.
Taking our umbrellas, K & I walk to church & attend 6:00pm vigil Mass; afterward, we talk with & say our goodbyes for now, to Blair Max & Diane, who in a round-about way, will return to Florida for the winter.
Dinner: power burger with fried onions on whole grain bread, corn on the cob & fresh fruit salad.
Late evening: finish watching DVD: “Asphalt Jungle” with Sterling Hayden, Louis Calhern, Jean Hagen, James Whitmore, Sam Jaffe, Marilyn Monroe, etc. The plotting of the crime & the gathering of the gang to pull it off; a taut, realistic film full of fine characterizations (especially Jaffe, & Monroe in a memorable bit). A model of its kind, frequently copied & remade no less than (3) times. 1950. It was great; you don’t want to miss this one.
Lights out: 12:10am
