We had to cancel our WInter Solstice plans out in the pasture, it’s pouring and foggy and miserable outside, a night to feel bad about being a donkey or sheep or cow, not that they feel bad. We went to see the dumb but funny and relaxing Anchorman 2, I enjoyed it, as a former CBS New producer it seemed to me that the movie was almost a documentary, even though it wasn’t trying to be. Tomorrow we’re going to see the Hobbit Smaug movie – I loved dragons, I think George Forss is going to come alone, he ought to have a lot of insights into mythology and hobbits, a form of aliens. On the way to the movie, I saw this old yellow barn (with a new garage door) sticking out of the fog.
