Awake: 5:44am Temp 62 sleep 6+11 overcast overnight @ East Memphis, TN.
Kathy went grocery shopping & shopped for (4 +) hrs. Meanwhile, while the cat is away.....I called & talked with Ron who lives in Collierville & I learned that he has been on sick leave for (3) weeks now with bronchitis. If he was well, we could have gotten together today but Ron is still on heavy antibiotics & can't leave the house or drive. Previously, he was hospitalized for a week; I wish him a speedy recovery.
Next I called Ray in WA state & we gabbed for about (20) min. Skype was too active for video.
Dinner: Tuna casserole, broccoli & fresh peppers.
Katrina called from Denver....not driving. She told us of her interest in getting a brand new Subaru Outback. I told her that "I approve of this message." She will let us know for sure tomorrow.
Zack called from Isilon; he had a few free minutes @ work & we were delighted to hear from him. We discussed his Masters program; he is doing quite well, A- in each of the (3) classes he has taken so far. He also told us of his new software challenge @ Isilon & of KT's veterinarian assistant job, in which she is doing very well & likes very much. He sounds good; we wished him a "Happy Easter" and he reciprocated.
Evening movie: "Mission to Moscow" with Walter Huston, Ann Harding, Oscar Homolka, George Tobias, Gene Lockhart, Frieda Inescort, etc. Fascinating propaganda of real-life ambassador Joseph Davies (played by Huston) in then-peaceful Russia. Well done, giving interesting insights to American concepts of USSR @ the time. Davies himself introduces the film. 1943. Very, very interesting; similar to a documentary.
Lights out: 11:46pm
