Thursday Shorts

Still enamored with surfing, I rented Big Wednesday, a movie made twenty-five years ago, starring William Katt (Greatest American Hero) and Jan Michael Vincent (Airwolf). It was strange seeing them so young and actually surfing. The movie itself was average, but the surfing, especially on the big swells, was pretty amazing.

Since To Kill A Mockingbird was unavailable, I rented Roman Holiday in memory of Gregory Peck. It also stars Audrey Hepburn who will be appearing on a stamp near you. Speaking of stamps, there will be a lighthouse series that includes the Tybee Island Lighthouse, which is the logo of this page. Fascinating, I know.

I checked the lineup for tomorrow's softball game. The captain, who is also a little league coach, has me batting first and playing shortstop. I'm tempted to believe this is a practical joke, but we'll see.

I have yet to ride the train to work since returning from vacation. I blame it on the widening of Highway 101 from four lanes to eight, shortening my commute by more than ten minutes. The fact that I've been having trouble getting to the station on time has nothing to do with it.
