We have a very quiet weekend. The weather is very spring-like. We walk around the neighbourhood, doing our chores, umbrellas open. Sunday afternoon we take in a movie, an American thriller with Robert Redford, Helen Mirren, and Willem Dafoe, called The Clearing. With a cast like that, you’d think it would be good. It was disappointing, but it was a couple of hours out of the rain, and with ticket prices about $1.50 each, how can you go wrong?
