Tuesday Miscellany

We saw True Grit this afternoon and really liked it. In the last month, I've watched the John Wayne version, read the book, and now seen the new movie. Aand I must say, I enjoyed them all. As I’ve said before, the scenery in the first one was SO not Arkansas/Oklahoma. And this scenery is much more Ozarks. I preferred Jeff Bridges in the Rooster Cogburn role, and liked the way Matt Damon did LeBoeuf. We’d definitely recommend this movie. And we’ll hope to see The King’s Speech next week.

After the movie we went to a new little store-front Asian place - good food. We had soup, spring rolls, and shared a "fusion roll" - three different kinds of fish and avocado wrapped in rice and rice paper. Very tasty, beautifully presented on the plate, and a nice fairly light supper (for less than $20.00).

John had a physical exam this morning. With the new health care guidelines, Medicare is now paying for “physical exams”, a terrific thing. We just changed to this family doc last year, and it’s the first time John’s had a complete physical with her. With lots of listening and an EKG, she was concerned about a cardiac irregularity - some extra heartbeats. So this afternoon, he was fitted with a Holter monitor to wear for 24 hours. Hopefully, he’ll get some sleep tonight, and all will be okay when the test is read.
