Bowling, Movies.

How things change, Friday a week ago I bowled up a storm, Monday I did the same thing, yesterday I bowled like a man with no arms. Boy does that ever tee me off. It wasn’t just one bad game, it was 3 although the middle game I did get close to my average. Ah well, Monday is another day. Matt won’t be able to bowl Monday as he is having the skin around his eyes stitched up so I think he will be resting up for a while. No not cosmetic.

Had you asked me I would have sworn that I had seen The Shawshank Redemption, but Friday night we watched it on TV and I remembered nothing of the movie at all. Morgan Freeman was wonderful, but then what wasn’t he wonderful in? I have just discovered that the report of his death last year was a hoax, I really believed he had died. What weird things people do. According to the report, its not the first time this has happened to him. I guess the first time I really registered Morgan Freeman was in Driving Miss Daisy which was a wonderful movie and I suppose the one I just saw was probably just as old.

Well, its pretty late at night now, so this is only a short blog and then I’m off to bed.

The recipe following reminds me of one we often do, taking a nice summer tomato, cutting it in half and sprinkling it with olive oil, basil, salt and pepper and sometimes a little garlic. You then put it under the broiler until done. We usually are grilling something like pork chops when we do this. Delicious.
