i woke up at about 7:15 this morning.

i watched an Eddie Murphy biography in the early morning. i watched Beverly Hills Cop a few weeks ago on cable. i had forgotten how funny that movie was. the bio reminded me of a lot of stuff eddie has done. good and bad.

breakfast

scrambled eggs
bratwurst
toast
coffee
iced tea

snack

banana

i had been planning to do some chores in a fairly leisurely way and read some back issues of the newspaper. elizabeth suggested that we take advantage of the good weather and get rid of some leaves that were still on the siding of the driveway. so we decided to do that. lots of work to rake wet heavy leaves. much fun.

lunch

soup
rye toast
iced tea

snack

coke
pop tart

after raking leaves

dinner

potato soup
crusty bread
iced tea

quite good.

PBS was showing an episode of Ken Burn's The Civil War as part of pledge. They showed the segment that included Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, and Vicksburg. Gripping. Hard to believe that that program originally aired 20 yrs ago.

after The Civil War, i watched bits and pieces of The Hurt Locker Awards Show. I liked the John Hughes tribute. Interesting to see all of those people, including both hosts, showing up in J.H. films. I must say that I still loath Ferris Bueller even though I like Hughes and I like Broderick.
