Munich

The plan for this evening was to use our season tickets to Watertower Theater in Addison...front row center seats to see Parade, set in 1913 Atlanta about a man accused of the murder of a 13-year-old girl. Plans fall apart. My nagging cold, cough, sore throat, and ,most recently, my pink, tearing, puffy and leaky right eye put those plans aside. Instead, we stopped off for a quick Vietnamese dinner on the way home and nested in front of the television to watch Munich. I found Munich thought-provoking, entertaining and well worth an evening. In hindsight, the premise of the film is just profoundly sad. The idea of solving political and social issues through violence and war is appalling to me. It's barbaric and tells an ugly tale of the human condition.

The weather in Dallas today was delightful. Temperatures never went beyond 60F and the skies were blue every time I looked outdoors. It's a shame we were couped up in an office all day...when we left the office (by 5:30 pm...a record!), I felt like I would rather take a walk by the creek near our office than drive home, but we had a decision to make...an early dinner and home to nurse my cold, or a quick bite and off to a play. The walk along the creek would have left my mood a bit more upbeat than Munich.
