Interstellar

We finally went to see Interstellar this afternoon, along with Hardy and Judy. The movie is almost three hours long and very intense. The intensity of the music and sound effects matches the extraordinary cinematography and special effects, but the greatest intensity is in the emotional relationships and conflicts. Much of the film has viewers on the edge of their seats, moved by the dramatic tension and suspense.

We started the day this morning with our doctor appointments at 8:15 a.m., which went well. Since it was only the second appointment of the day, we had minimal wait time. When we left there we drove to Pharr South for Randy's C-2 workshop at 10:00 a.m. We had three squares plus one couple. After dancing we went to the nearby Subway for lunch and then to Costco, mainly for food. We got the last loaves of La Brea multigrain bread that were out on display. We also got several free samples, the best of which was Ghirardelli triple chocolate brownies.

Tonight we watched a documentary titled RICKOVER: The Birth of Nuclear Power. Rickover was an eccentric genius, and the film clearly dramatizes both his triumphs and his decline.
