I'll watch, on my TV, old swasbucklers like Errol Flynn, Douglas Fairbanks, T. Power etc.. and cowboy ones with J. Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Richard Dix, Tom Mix, Bob Steel along with many Black & whites of considerable vintage. Fortunaely Joan was even less a fan of movies. We never once rented one or had a PPV. We were readers more than viewers. We took kids to the movies for the children's clasics; also the Drive-ins. We saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding at the Strand on invitation by the kids. But before that the last ones were, MASH, The Hospital, Sound of Music, Mary Poppins; all at the old Merced Theater. Give you some idea of our movie-goings? We weren't prudes, just felt there were better ways to spend our time. And still feel that way. We watched the news, Jeopardy, Law & Order, Science CH., Discovery, cooking shows, National Geo., These kept us then and me now.. except I don't watch cooking or Law & order anymore. The others are still on the agenda with History CH added. Leaving me little time to do my French assignments. Sous Ami Lady J:
