Flying By

 

I've probably written before about how what "they" say about time seeming to move faster as you grow old is true.

But just lately I've been feeling something new again - that each day just doing basic things like showering, brushing teeth, making meals, doing laundry, seem to fill in almost the whole day.  It often feels that I've done nothing but these routine maintenance type things and the day is over.

I don't know if there's anything I can about this.  I will try to be sure to set apart time for reading and other things that really matter to me but still, in the end, the chores need to get done.

Spaces

 

Like everyone, over the years friends and family have died and I miss them.

It is not surprising that at my age such losses are more common but what I find, while I still remember and mourn losses from the past, is that these more recent deaths seem to have left gaps in my life, in my day to day life, that I don't think can ever be filled.  There's this sense of spaces in my life that will be with me now until I die.

Netflix Movie: Bullet Train Explosion

 

Wowza!

This was great fun.  Well done and never dull.

It reminds me of those wonderful all-star cast disaster flicks form the last century such as 

Airport

The Toweting Inferno

Earthquake

Movie: All of Us Strangers

 

I had read the book this movie was based on and liked it very much.

The movie of course is different, but similar, and I felt they did a good job with the adaptation.

The cast was uniformly good.

But Andrew Scott, Andrew Scott.

He was wonderful in this role.  Most actors are lucky if they get one or two really good scenes in a film, but here he manages to make something shining about almost every scene he is in.  He lights up the screen, he breaks your heart.
