When this Thanksgiving we decided to go out to a restaurant with my sister's friend Laura and her brother Rich. Laura and Rich recently lost their father and we are still recovering from my mom's death and my illness. We went to a restaurant called "The Farm." I avoided any form of poultry before today. I figured that there was a 70% chance I would have turkey. There was three meals, a turkey dinner, a fish dinner and a vegetarian meal. I had the vegetarian, no I had the turkey. I had a tuna appetizer which was excellent. The meals was so good, we all needed this the four of us did not want to cook It was terrific and very relaxed meal.

It is everything that we needed. It was nice meal and good company.

I saw The Martian and I had the pleasure of reading the book which has a back story that writer's live for. It was in the slush pile, for those in the non publishing world. The slush pile is where unsolicited manuscripts are gathered. They are horrible, badly written and plotted. They make Vogon poetry look good by comparison. The book was discovered and published and it became a hit. The book was written by an engineer and a lot of technical jargon on how to survive on Mars. The film was a wonderful adaption keeping enough of the book and keep it moving. It was a well done work.

I saw Spectre and I was surprised how good it was. The reviews I read made it sound horrible and stupid. The reviewers I follow were brutal to the film. I was not expecting it to be good. But we really like it and I thought it was very good. It was not the best bond which is "From Russia With Love," but as good as two of my favorites "You Only Live Twice" and the "Spy Who Love Me." I like it and Daniel Craig's Bond though the series could a little humor. It does not have to be as jokey and comedic as the later Roger Moore's films, but it could use a little of the Sean Connery's "Amsterdam I'm good." Though I like characters of Moneypenny and Q in this film. It was nice to see a little of James Bond life outside the Secret Service. I liked Christoph Waltz was a wonderful villain, I like his appearances which give a stance of evil fun.

Sorry about the lack of out put, my creative juices were on the low end. I have a little break and put and swinging. Art is coming.
