It’s 5:00 AM
and the snow has just started and the heating for my suite or building is
broken. I am heating my place with my oven and my decorative fireplace that
emits some heat. I am comfortable, but what timing. It is supposed to snow for
the next week.
I love the
thought of being home, warm and cozy, and making a lot of progress with the
apron over the next few days. It is not, as I have said, a showy piece but I
like it. I think it will interest people
but not impress them. With the letter, it works well.
The wheat dress
is going over really well with viewers. It and the cardinal dress are the
winners. I’m excited about trying to achieve another (or two more) stunner(s).

I chose a movie
called Genius on Netflix. It’s about
Scribner editor Max Perkins (Colin Firth). His wife is played by in incredible
Laura Linney and the first writer we meet is Thomas Wolfe who is played by Jude
Law who does an thoroughly believable job. I was immediately drawn into this
movie until Mr. Wolfe goes home to a partner played by Nicole Kidman whom,
sadly, I find impossible to believe in anything.
I really liked
the movie. I had no idea about how short Thomas Wolfe’s life was and whereas I
knew about how prolific he was, I had no idea how much until this movie. But
what I loved in this film was its central theme: The lovely story of a deep
fraternal love between Max Perkins, the introvert who wanted a son, and Thomas
Wolfe, the maniacal extrovert who desperately wanted to love and trust someone.

And speaking of
fraternal love, today is Dwight’s birthday. We’re going to lunch.
