It is a lovely night tonight, and the moon and stars were glorious as we drove home from Bennington, where we went to the movies tonight. We saw The Call, which was quite harrowing for me. I thought it was going to be more of a chase suspense movie, and not so much a Silence of the Lambs type suspense movie. My eyes were closed for some pretty big chunks of it. David and Joy liked it. After getting home we watched an episode of Foyle’s War. Good series and good episode. David was tired and went straight to bed afterwards. We had a good day today – went to New Skete Nuns for cheesecake. Cloistered nuns, so you go into a room and pick up cheesecake and slip the money through a slot in the wall. Completely on the honor system, so David suggested we just pick up the cheesecakes and run! I can’t say for sure, but I think Joy probably slipped the nuns a few extra bucks! The cheesecake was good, and you can mail-order!
After we got back, we had a visit from Jay Elkin and his wife Stephanie from Fieldston. Great visit, and David was pleased to see him. After that, we had our call with Alex, Claire and Theo. Great, as always, and David is getting more across, even with FaceTime.
I missed yesterday, and it was also a good day. Had dinner with Dad and Nancy at an Italian restaurant in Cambridge, and I got my VT drivers license, and before that, had a tour of Hubbard Hall in Cambridge. I had sent my resume for a job there, and they told me that if I was up in the area, to call and meet and take a tour of the facility. Pretty impressive. An old rural opera house and they also have a series of buildings that were warehouses associated with the old train depot. Dance studios, rehearsal spaces, offices and a small black box theatre. Very nice folks as well, and similar in many ways to the Atlas, but very different. Will keep you posted on that progress.
David looks great! Thanks for posting! We’ll be thinking of you guys next month when we’re in the Caribbean with my family! Sending lots of love your way!
