April Saturday

Maybe ten times a year it happens in Cincinnati, the temperature in the 70s, without humidity, and skies that are blue and clear. I hope everybody got outside today - and I hear it was beautiful all over the eastern part of America.

For my part I took advantage of my city neighborhood, and walked down the street, passing folks on their front lawns playing ball or having a cookout - and visited the local businesses for a haircut, and a stop at the local stores. (Try that in Mason or Westchester.)

This evening Rachel and I also caught 'Millions' by Danny Boyle. This filmmaker has a gift for combining magic realism and deftly drawn, true-to-life characters. The accents are a little thick for the American ear, but it's a very good movie, and I strongly recommend it. The little kid who plays the lead role is brilliant.
