Shameful

Dear Julie,

In true Labor Day fashion, I'm eschewing labor altogether. I went to Mom & Dad's yesterday with a three-fold purpose:

1) To retrieve Beloved Pearl (who is now quiet as a mouse after a new muffler)
2) To make Mom's nametags (okay, so a little bit of labor...)
3) To take the little girls to a movie

You know I saw Halloween on Friday night (it was truly dreadful, but no, that's not the shameful bit). But yesterday, I paid hard-earned money to see Daddy Day Camp. I'm quite certain that Sony Pictures showed Cuba Gooding, Jr. the money. That's the only plausible explanation for his presence in this horrible movie. He's a great actor and he chose this??? Shameful, Cuba -- SHAMEFUL. The only thing good about this expedition was that only 8 other people were in the theater with us. I want a refund.

Oh! We turned on the Jerry Lewis Telethon for a minute before I left Mom & Dad's last night. Jerry Lewis IS still alive & he actually looks pretty good. He wasn't nearly as puffy. I wish I could report the same thing about me...(sigh)

Happy Labor Day, Chicken.
Love,
Karen
