71 and one day! The clock hands (or digits) keep turning (or spinning). Time marches on! As it was noted in the movie Before the Rains, time never ends--the circle is not round.

I ended up sleeping this morning and part of the afternoon until I could sleep no more. Finally got up and out, ran some errands, grabbed some food, and returned. Watched a movie Ben X. It was about an autistic (high functioning) guy who was being harassed by his schoolmates. He came up with a scheme to get even with them that exposed them for what they were--sadistic bullies and tormentors. The movie relied on video game graphics that were used to show the boy's inner life. It was a intense film, but a bit tiring to watch. Although it did show what the boy had to endure to make it through each day.

The DVD for the film has a short-short about a young girl who's mother has Alzheimer's. It gets across the frustration and helpless/hopeless situation of a young person in this circumstance. So much for happy movies! It was my youngest sister's B-day today--sent her and e-card!
