Thank you all for your good (and otherwise) advice. I compiled it for my writer’s group and it was popular. The ‘don’t gain more than 5 lbs after marriage’ got a laugh.

I have leftover beef stew and sweet corn that Jim got from his banker - there might be more to that story - for lunch.

Today is the monthly used book sale at the library. I plan to go and I plan to come back here and tell you what I found.
Bonus - I watched two movies on Youtube last night. Both were fairly recent ‘small’ movies, shot on location. Both were small movies that looked like acts of love. Both were well done.

‘Grace is Gone’ was made in 2007 with John Kusack as the father of two daughters whose wife/mother is killed in Iraq. Set and filmed to some degree in Minnesota and featuring a road trip to Florida, it’s just a nice movie.

“Georgia Rule’, also made in 2007, this time in Idaho, has three generations of troubled women, Jane Fonda, Felicity Hoffman and Lindsey Lohan. I’d never seen Lohan or Hoffman before. Hoffman cut her hair mid-movie and then wore an unflattering wig. Lohan was pretty much all about sex, but she did it well. There was a Mormon boyfriend. At one point Jane wears a bucket hat and for a second look just like Henry on Golden Pond.

Our library set up a table at the Free Fair. Books available for a donation. They have a room at the library year-round for books for sale. I can pop in any ol' time.
I won't tell my sister her advice got a laugh. She was very serious.

Is the 5 pounds advice for the husband? Asking for a friend...

John Cusack is an excellent actor as is Jane Fonda. Those sound like good movies. I would love to go to a library book sale...I wouldn't miss that. Looking forward to hearing about your haul.

Third Thursday of the month, so time your visit.

I read, but I need to read more even so. The problem is availability of LARGE TEXT versions (I get eyestrain now). Some titles are available in large text, some aren't.
Not much of a home movie watcher on TV anymore. I'll still go to the theatre if there's something good (which is increasingly rare).

Thanks for the leads on decent movies, I hope to get to these :)

I like the idea that the crowd sourced data from here was a hit in your group. I have a neighbor that wears a bucket hat. I will think of Jane Fonda via you now when I see him.

"Otherwise Advice" seems like a good professional sobriquet. :)

I love movies and books. I am reading or watching a movie every night:-)

I watched 'African Queen' the other night on youtube. It is as good as it ever was.
