Message 506

Yesterday afternoon I picked Beech up at school and took him to his Kung Fu class. Afterward we went next door to the Round Table Pizza and he ate three slices, which is a new record for him. He also pulled another animal from the crane machine, but he forgot to bring it home with him. I told him we can ask if they kept it for him when we go back next week. I then picked up Eddy Solomon at his house and took him to Sultana's for dinner. Mary is out of town and had asked me to do this. He had the lamb chops that were on special, and he ate most of them. His Parkinson's disease has advanced so far that he has to mostly lie down when he eats, but he manages. His mind is still good, but his body is in pretty bad shape.

When I got home I watched a DVD of the movie Watchmen. It is another one of those movies based on what they call a graphic novel, or I would call a comic book. As a result, the plot was absurd, the action was stylized, and the characters were costumed heroes. I almost did not even finish watching it, but I managed finally to stick it out until the end. I give it 2 stars. The best thing about the movie was the music that was all from the 1980s.
