If any of you did not receive and would like to have a copy of the disk that Chris recently sent out with the pictures of the Basler reunions from Fenwick 2003 through Sandbridge 2009, please let me know and I will get a copy to you.

Yesterday afternoon I picked Beech up at school and took him to Kung Fu and then pizza. This time he pulled three stuffed animals from the crane machine spending only four dollars. He is getting quite skilled at it now. In the evening I watched a DVD of the movie The Double Life of Veronique. It is another Kieslowski film, written and directed by the same Polish guy who did The French color trilogy (Blue, White, and Red). He is also the guy who wrote the script for the German movie Heaven, shot in Italy, that I praised a few months ago. It is an extremely ambiguous, enigmatic, and thought provoking film, with a terrific use of music, color, lighting, framing, sex, spirituality, and symbolism to convey its impact. I give it five stars.
