I might have thought I was
in Oklahoma
had I not known better.
(That's an inside joke for those
who know musicals!)
After letting all that lovely warmth into the house, out I went to get the third movie for this week: the remake of "The Running Man".
I must say, Glen Powell is certainly a handsome 37-year-old man, with all the right bits in all the right places, to paraphrase Meghan Trainor.
However, he's already done that shtick in his movies.
The man best be careful lest he be typecast as eye candy and not a person of substance.
Without Edgar Wright at the helm of this latest version of the story, Powell's antics might well have derailed the scifi movie into comedy.
In fact, none of this week's A*List dances have been quite in step.
"Die My Love", though well-acted, was a bit jumpy in its presentation, which could have been a cheap shot at reinforcing Grace's post-partum descent into madness.
"Now You See Me: Now You Don't" was certainly full of the magic I love, but it seemed a bit rushed, like they were determined to cram too much movie into too short a running time.
One thing all three movies shared: a fabulous supporting cast, even though many of those actors with street cred - Nick Nolte, Morgan Freeman, and William H. Macy, in these three films - had hardly any screen time.
Time for Thanksgiving this evening!
Yes, this was the last Wednesday Night Supper of the fall and that meant: turkey!!!
Plus there were mashed potatoes, green beans, an cranberry sauce!!!
Several folks at Asbury Memorial supplied the desserts, like Danny Lewis and his pumpkin pound cake - so good!
I sat with Pam and Walt again, as well as Lynn Hoerlin and her son and granddaughter, both visiting from Ohio.
I really enjoyed talking about Las Vegas with Meko - she was a delight!
I sure am going to miss these meals with other Asburians!
I found out I could still
do laundry after all.
The last wash at Suds Laundry
has to be started by 7 PM,
and it was 6:47
when I pushed the button.
This has been a very messy two weeks for me, so messy that my long pants and my fuchsia sweater were both rendered unwearable.
As good fortune would have it, the weather has been in the upper 70's, allowing me to wear shorts today.
All the more reason to do an emergency wash -
and go ahead and do the bed linens, too.
As I was waiting for the flannel sheets to come out of the dryer, I spotted a penny on the table by my basket.
It was not there while I'd been folding clothes.
Right place, right time.
i thank You, God.
Now, time to watch "Wicked" on ABC!

Silly me - I never addressed the post title!
2005 was the year of the coppery messenger that sought me out in the laundromat.
Why that year?
My guess is the coin happened to be handy.
Ghosts can only push objects so far, and not all can even do that.
Of the various spiritual beings in the TV show, "Ghosts", only Trevor is able to make physical contact and move things, like keyboard buttons on phones and computers, as well as a vase or two.
That just lends credence to my proposal that spiritual energy can move conductive materials, like copper items.
I stand by that, I do.
