A perfectionist walked into a bar…apparently, the bar wasn’t set high enough.
The sky was leaking this morning. I attempted to take Scout, The Wonder Dog, for a walk, and as soon as I got to the street, the faucet was opened, and it poured. Mary’s hip was giving her fits, so I suggested she do half the walk, and she agreed. When I came back down the street, the faucet was turned to drizzle, so she joined us.
We probably got 0.2 inches this morning.
Mary headed for work at 8:00 AM, and I headed home to wash, pay bills, fight the computer, and try to figure out what’s for dinner. I talked to Colleen and Robin on the Bat Phone and did some minor shopping before heading back to Mary’s. Robin and Irene plan to be with me next Friday as that is the first anniversary of my dear Sue leaving us.
In the shower, I shaved for the first time in a week. Mary suggested I wear a goatee for another week because my chin is so sore, and I agreed. The face is slowly turning back to normal, and that may or may not be good? I didn’t like my beard at first, but then it grew on me.
Around 3:30 PM, I headed for Mary’s because today is “cooking day,”; the day I fix dinner for Dr. Mary. Scout and I whipped up dinner, turned on the fire, set the mood lighting, and awaited her arrival. If dinner isn’t waiting on the table, I get in real trouble.
Tonight we are having tri-tips with sauteed mushrooms, cauliflower puttanesca, and a green salad. I met Mary at her door wearing only my risque cooking apron, which made her laugh. It was not just a laugh; it was a belly laugh! A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never cease to be amused.
Mary found my culinary skills quite good this evening! I have a menu already selected for Monday, and it will be amazing!
We had dinner and watched Two And A Half Men before hitting the hot tub. We sat in the tub and talk for over an hour, leaving the water looking like two little prunes!
After standing by the fire and warming up, we attempted to watch Dirty Hary. Mary wasted seven minutes while I finished it off. At 11:30 PM, I headed home, and Mary crashed.
Dirty Harry is a 1971 American neo-noir action thriller film produced and directed by Don Siegel, the first in the Dirty Harry series. Clint Eastwood plays the title role in his first outing as San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) Inspector “Dirty” Harry Callahan. The film drew upon the real-life case of the Zodiac Killer as the Callahan character seeks out a similar vicious psychopath.
Dirty Harry was a critical and commercial success and set the style for a whole genre of police films. Four sequels followed it: Magnum Force in 1973, The Enforcer in 1976, Sudden Impact in 1983 (directed by Eastwood himself), and The Dead Pool in 1988. In 2012, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being “culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant.
