Tonight I saw one of my favorite old movies, 'An Affair to Remember'. For anyone who has not seen this movie or 'Sleepless in Seattle', this movie stars a very sexy Cary Grant & Deborah Kerr as a couple who are both about to be engaged to other people who meet and fall in love on a cruise. They agree to break things off with their others and meet at the top of the Empire State Building in 6 months. They both do as they promised and on the fateful day both head out but only 'Nicky' makes it...'Teri' gets hit by a taxi and ends up in a wheelchair. Even worse she ends up being a teacher to a group of raggety, tone deaf children who sing 2 terrible songs that don't belong in this movie or anywhere else. But I otherwise love the movie.
The romance on the ship was extremely sexy in chaste way. They tried to be discreet and amusingly everyone on the ship knew exactly what was going on. When 'Teri' doesn't show up 'Nicky' wallows for a while and then becomes a successful artist. A chance meeting at a play leads to finale where 'Nicky' says some very mean things to Teri before figuring out as he's leaving that she hasn't gotten up the entire time he's been there. The look on his face when he figures things out is heartbreaking. And they live happily ever after. Woohoo!!!

Lubbock Homeless
Today was the Komen walk and it was great, as usual. The survivors have balloons and release them at a specific time that represents how long they have been survivors. It's a cool moment.
It was a cold morning so a brisk walk was a good thing. At the end, there are lots of goodies awaiting the walkers...food, drink, goodies. After the walk I returned my library book and there are homeless people who hang out at the library, which is next to the civic center where the walk was held. As i was leaving one came in carrying a pink bag and announced to his homies that there was was free food down at the finish line. The guys all headed down for breakfast. It made me sad and a little happy there was food down the path.
Then I was driving home down Ave Q, going about 30 mph and a man who was probably also homeless actually stepped out in front of my car hoping I'd him. I'm grateful foir brakes. I missed him by inches and he stood there looking me straight in the eye. It was pretty scary.
A S S H O L E !!! A man who saw it all pulled up beside me at the light and rolled his window to tell me he lived in the neighborhood and these guys do this all of the time. I hope
the food was all gone by the time these guys got there.
