I am loving the late light. I worked late this evening and still had time to march around the neighborhood before dark.
I've been watching Grace & Frankie a new Netflix series with Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda. I imagine it is designed to appeal to people of a "certain age" - their seventies. I am all for a drink now and then but these folks are swimming in it - booze, pot, peyote, cocaine. There isn't a single episode where they aren't slinging bottles around. They all look great, healthy and spry and they didn't get that way drinking and smoking for seventy years - or heck, they are actresses so maybe they did.
I ran out of titles. Maybe I will start naming the posts after the night of the week. I am stumped.

This is quite a lovely building, Joan!
Our son graduated from CofC on Mother's Day and a friend asked if I was mad they took the thunder from 'my' day. Seriously? What better gift could a mother ask for? Unfortunately, they don't do graduations on Mother's Day anymore. It was a tradition for longer than Mother's Day has been around so I don't know the reasons. All I know is I'm glad it happened for us. Love your blog - it's a morning ritual for me.

Lovely photo. And I don't know about the folks on that t.v. show. I smoked pot in my day and I still drink heartily and I'm extremely handsome!
I notice this same trait in a lot of my favorite shows... Mad Men, Revenge, Damages... and I always wonder the same thing. Would these people even HAVE all these problems if they were sober for at least half their waking life? HA!
Regarding the show you mentioned, I would watch it if Jane Fonda wasn't involved. She annoys me in the same way Ann Margret annoys me, and Drew Barrymore. When they're onscreen, I can sense the self-involvement palpably. I can sense them "watching" themselves from off camera, and preening. Ruins the moment every time.
It really is. It is a lovely campus.
I am late to the game! When did they stop doing it on Mother's Day? I too that thought was a great mother's day gift - having her child graduate. I see graduation photos today.
You are indeed!
She plays the same role - very uptight and rigid and self aware so they made the character like that. Lily Tomlin is the new age hippie dippy one. The male actors are Martin Sheen and Sam Shepherd.
