Ate like a horse today. Cool weather makes me want to fill up. Ate breakfast and went out later for a sandwich. Had a pastry. Went for a haircut (showing solidarity with MD--got a real short trim) and stopped for a bread pudding and tea. Nibbled also on nuts, candy, and a few cookies. I think that's about it. I could have eaten more but did not do so.

Watched a couple of films--Kandahar and Savages. Kandahar told a story of a woman who tried to get back to Afghanistan to help her sister. It was a revealing look at that country and its relationship to women. There was some beautiful camerawork but the plot sort of faltered and died toward the end. There was a spectacular scene of men with one leg running across the desert to retrieve prosthetic limbs being dropped from a Red Cross helicopter.

Savages was a story about a brother and sister who have to deal with their father's end of life issues. It struck home with me since the father was supposedly diagnosed with PD. In the movie, I thought he had more symptoms of senility or dementia. It still gave me things to think about. Coming as it did along with MD's difficulties, it rang my bell.

I took a short nap in the afternoon before I went for a haircut. Naps are good!
