Springy Saturday

It is a beautiful early Spring Saturday. The sun is out, and the temperature is just over 60 degrees. Lovely day.
Went for a run earlier and then ran errands, including a stop at the Post Office, which always makes me think back fondly of going to the Post Office with my grandparents.

The Red Sox finally pulled out a win yesterday. My favorite moment of the game came in an email from my mom who wrote, "Lackey SUCKS!!!!!" So true. Reading the paper today, another funny moment, perhaps even some psychological warfare we're waging against our rivals, "The Yankees were unable to shower after the game because of a plumbing problem in the visitors’ clubhouse." Great move.

In other news, very sad to hear of the passing of Sidney Lumet. Lumet's book on filmmaking is an invaluable and hugely entertaining resource. Lumet seems to have done it all, big-budget, small-budget, tv, theatre, live television, musicals, and he had an undying excitement for making movies. In the last few years he was engaged in the digital medium and the openness it allowed for longer takes. RIP Sidney Lumet.
