I have survived a busy and stressful week. Very important presentation Monday Night in Morris, followed by a kick off of a big project in Poteau Tuesday morning, then the first night of a new class Wednesday night at church and then an important interview Thursday night in Tahlequah, nothing slow is happening at the moment. With this kind of momentum it seemed like the thing to do Friday is watch someone else perform.
First, we went to the afternoon matinee to see Clint Eastwood's "Gran Torino". Everyone expects this to be a good revenge movie or as one review said, Dirty Harry combined with Archie Bunker. There is all of that but much, much more. If you wanted to catch up on disparaging epithets of about every race on the earth, this is a refresher. There is much humor mixed with good drama. The story spans all generations (and most forms of profanity as well).
As is my practice, I will not reveal the story, but will say it the Movie is much greater than the Ford that provided the name. I give it **** stars.
Note: This movie has much harsh language, but it is important to the story. It is a hard "R".
It is a Gran movie. Another Note: Stay for the credits, the song playing was written by Eastwood and may be up for an Academy Award.
Second, after a pit stop at home, we went to the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame forZach and Colton, the Colton Brother's CD release concert. It was great fun and great music. These guys will make Oklahoma proud. The band that they assembled includes Reba's former drummer and the
fiddle player from Vinita that has toured in Alan Jackson's band. Our to local side men, Jermaine Mondaine and Ron Boren can stand with any. Jermain plays a great sax!
As we say: A good time was had........... and the week drifted away.
