Day 17: Something that makes me smile Today I am grateful for my local classic movie couple: Bob and Patricia. Everything about them makes me smile. First, there's how we met. We happened to be crossing Hollywood Blvd. at the same at the TCM Film Festival and discovered we live within blocks of one another! Then there's how they look. They are both tall and cute in a cornfed, Midwestern way.
Most important, they make me smile because we vibe. We had lunch today, and when I suggested George's – the old-school local coffee shop that has hit hard times – because I want to throw it some incremental business, they immediately said, "of course!" They have an elderly dog they have built their lives around, so nothing I did earlier this year to help save my Connie Cat even made them blink. Last week, after a night of violent storms, they helped their neighbors capture and rescue a wet and frightened kitten (who now has a home with a grade school teacher). We talked classic movies, the Cubs, and our personal transitions to retirement. Our little lunch lasted more than three hours, and every moment made me smile.
