Technicon Valley --- Day 5/42

Ciwt may have to get serious about setting up a home office.  Oh dear; her tech knowledge gap keeps widening with keeps growing with every breakthrough down the road in Silicon Valley.

Rapid Retro --- Day 5/41

Walk: Sacramento Street, Trader Joe's
Distance: 2.6 miles and small yoga



Ciwt was going to go to the de Young museum today to hear one of her favorite docent lecturers today.  But he was touring the Oscar de la Renta Retrospective.  Retropective less than 2 years after his death?  And aren't some of his clothes still in stores?  To Ciwt, the retrospective doesn't seem very removed from going downtown and crusing through the designer departments of Neiman's and Saks. Not museum worthy but probably drawing enormous crowds...

Hello, Call Me Apprehensive --- Day 5/37

Walk: Polk Street, Sundance Kabuki (Hello, My Name is Doris)
Distance: 4.3 miles, small, necessary yoga stretches


David Teniers the Younger (Flemish, 1610-1690), A Man Holding a Glass and Old Woman Lighting a Pipe, ca. 1645, oil


Now does Ciwt, a woman of a certain age, really want to go to a movie about a woman of a certain age making a complete fool of herself over a younger man?  She assumed No Way! But now the reviews, from both critics and real people, are so over the top about Sally Fields' acting, the movie buff in Ciwt feels she must see it.  Starts in a couple of hours.  Fingers crossed for dignity and non-gooeyness, but Ciwt is apprehensive.

Update:  Very good acting.  For Ciwt (who has an MA in psychology) though the movie was sad. Here is why:  Doris has Real mental issues/problems/whatever, but the movie just cruises right by them into improbable cute.  And this lack of real understanding of who Doris is by the young screenwriter seems sadder than if she were handled realistically.  Yay for Tyne Daly's strong presence which (almost) balances the sadness factor. Overall though: Ciwt says it's worthwhile;  see it (on an upbeat day) and form your own opinion.

Sky Eyes --- Day 5/36

Walk: Sundance Kabuki (Eye in the Sky)
Distance: 2.8 miles and small yoga



Ciwt just returned from movie Eye in the Sky about a drone episode (B- Ciwt rating), and this (drone?) picture of her neighbor, the Presidio seemed appropriate - and beautiful.  Quite the looker, the Bay Area.
