Both RQS and I took it slowly on Friday, not just because my legs were misbehaving, but because RQS was aroused by an unexpected phone call. The person she was supposed to visit at the end of the month would be unavailable due to health reasons. And that would mean we have more time together. We're both glad that I didn't book a 5-day cruise to Bermuda as I once planned over a month ago.
I got moving slowly, and we had a bite to eat before visiting the book store. It took a while to get there, as I didn't want to go to the store nearest me. Instead, we drove down to Hartsdale, and RQS found the magazines she wanted to buy. Then, it was back to the house to rest.
It was not much of a day. But after the day before's rush to take care of things, it was nice to spend a day without a schedule.

Saturday came, and it was time for us to see the legal case of the millennium:
Although the opening says the film is based on a real story, this is pure fiction and inspired by a story in a magazine. It is a fun film, and well worth seeing. Most of the major Looney Tunes characters appear in the film in one form or another - including Bugs Bunny leaking information to Coyote's attorney. The film is a David vs. Goliath story, and an indirect indictment of the corporate structure that caused this film to get shelved for tax purposes.
We went to a mid-afternoon showing of the film, and we noticed that half of the multiplex was being torn apart. Modern seating was being installed, and it appeared as if the multiplex was being reconfigured for these seats. There were only a handful of people in the theater, and it made me wonder - will people return to the multiplex when the renovation is finished? I'm not sure.
