Message 527

I forgot to mention in yesterday's message that I had an appointment with my dermatologist Wednesday afternoon. She froze a few spots for me and wrote a prescription for Efudex for my forearms. She also said I should start taking 1000 IUs of vitamin-D every day, instead of four days a week as I have been doing for the past few months. Yesterday afternoon I picked Beech up at school and took him to his Kung Fu class as usual. Afterward we went next door to the pizza place. In the evening I watched a DVD of the French movie The Story of Adele H. It was made in 1975 and directed by Truffaut, the same who directed last night's movie. This movie would have been pretty boring except that it is a true story based on the diary of Victor Hugo's daughter, the youngest of his four children. She was a troubled, almost psychotic woman, but very dogged in her dedication to her fantasies. I give it three stars.

This morning a crew is due to show up and install my new awning on my balcony.
