Silent Movies

The highlight of my day today came around noon when J and I went to the Central Library and watched two 20-minute silent films while a pianist played the piano. The first one starred Buster Keaton, the second one Laurel and Hardy. The program was part of the Music Sandwiched In series. It started at 12:10 and targeted workers on their noon lunch hour. Sandwiches were available for purchase at the door of the auditorium. From the looks of the crowd, I don't think many of the downtown workers availed themselves of the opportunity to take in the program. Most people there were of retirement age, I would guess.

On the way home, we stopped at Subway and got a five-dollar footlong (Black Forest Ham) and brought it home and ate it.

After lunch, I went to the TCC Fitness Center where I walked three miles.

At 7 pm we listened to the President speak to Congress and the nation. I thought he was persuasive, but I know there are many people who will oppose anything he says.
