OK! So all the problems that go on and on in my little mind before an event vanish by the time the day is over and I look back.
This morning I woke worried about picking up my elderly dad and driving him to brunch and the theater in an effort to see "True Grit," the remake which I saw earlier this year. Better than any remake.
If you already care for people older than yourself, then maybe you will understand my preliminary worrying, but I find myself home now, blogging, amazed and delighted how wonderful a day can be with your Dad. At the movies. At McDonalds. (a place I do not frequent-- ever. Until today.)
Rather than re-hash my early morning doubts and concerns, I think I will limit this blog to state that I had a very fine day, despite a very dark forecast, in a delightfully light McDonald's restaurant and sat in a very high place to enjoy "True Grit" with the very best company.
No "low blood sugar." No problems navigating with his cane traveling stairs. No weather forecasts stopped us. McDonald's did not kill me.
I loved today.
Blogs about all things in the spirit of Doggito, some are really good, so read up and respond. I will keep bloggggging until I hear back.

True Grit Reviewed
So, Hi there. Like I said, I went to see True Grit and this is the run down:
During the Cowboy Days, a 14 year old girl with uncanny negotiating skills, suffers the loss of her father who is killed for unknown reasons by a hired hand. Her mission is to track down the murderer. She hires Rooster Cogburn, an old fat drunken US Marshal with an eye patch. They encounter and are assisted by Texas Ranger LaBoeuf, who also seeks the murderer, but for his own reasons. The search is the adventure but the personalities and the language of the period are the reasons I ask you to go see it. Listen, laugh, squirm.
Do not wait for the DVD. Your large screen at home is not large enough to capture the greatness of the landscape.

New Canvas; True Grit
I bought 10 canvases yesterday since I am a prosperous Artist who can afford such luxury. Ahem. What was that? Anyway, painted a little tiny bit, and experimented a whole bunch, not really ruining any new canvas. Yet.
OK. So I will go tonight with The Babes to see True Grit at the big fatty eaterie movie-place where they serve you food and alcohol, and I will enjoy it all and report back about the movie. Hope I don't wreck it for those who are waiting to see it. That's never my intention. I just like to brag that I saw a popular movie.
I would post a you-tube here but I never embed properly, so ... Imagine Mumford and Sons singing Lion Man. Imagine.... Oh come on. Pretend!
Love and Kisses,
Yum is Why!
