We have this movie club here. We've been trying to watch some classics: Citizen Kane, Double Indemnity, It's A Wonderful Life, Casablanca, etc. Well, I came upon my new favorite movie today: MOONSTRUCK. Cher is just really amazing. I loved her in MASK, but that movie provoked tears; this one just provoked good humor. And Nicolas Cage didn't even get on my nerves in this movie (although I didn't mind him the movie about orchids and writing)--maybe because he was 20 years younger and hadn't yet learned arrogance.
I also happened to come across a movie called Grizzly Man over the weekend. It is quite a trip and I recommend that the rest of you take the trip. Pretty footage; wacky man; and grizzly bears, of course. If the man hadn't been eaten by the bear at the end, his mental health could have greatly benefited from the services here at CooperRiis.
Read two issues of THE SUN. Wrote some poems. Taking a break from knitting. Going on a Peace Walk in Asheville tomorrow to celebrate Martin Luther King and to think about my dreams (dangerous territory, lately--luckily, I have psychotherapists in my circle of acquaintances now). And maybe I'll play a little softball and be bored by the Golden Globes.

Hey Ellen,
I just answered an e-mail from my mom where she asked, "I just got this e-mail from Ellen. What's a BLOG?" Hehehe.
I'm glad you started this. Now I can have more of idea what's going on with you and Meg. I just sent you guys letters but it was before I found out about the stamp increase - who knows if it will get there?
Miss you.
Emily
Hey Ellen. It's great to hear from you and about what you have been up too. I saw the Grizzly movie a couple of days ago. I thought it was pretty good. He was pretty out there huh?
Well, i'm glad you are doing well.
