a white-tailed deer, an American crow, grackles, and a red-bellied woodpecker.
I listened to a mandatory continuing legal education course on the new health care act. The course was interesting, but largely a slog through sub-regulations for 90 minutes.
Last night we met our friends Scott and Donna at Cafe Express in Plano. I had a fine roast beef sandwich. Then we went to the movie "Austenland". This was a fun example of a good old fashioned farce. I usually do not like broad farces, but this one had some wit to it. An Austen theme invites the film-maker to make a subtle, furrowed-brow intellectual comedy in which "Emma" and "Northhanger Abbey" allusions led us in quiet, knowing witty smiles to a warm understanding that nobody would really want to live in a Regency novel.
Instead, "Austenland" helps illustrate a less subtle truth--modern folks make everything a big, transparent theme park.
