Sigh.
The girls and their dad were out in Guyton for the night.
But, wait!
Maybe that could be a good thing for my mental health, right?
I could watch a favorite movie on the twins' tv, using the twins' dvd player...
couldn't I?
I treated myself to "Into The Night",
the action-packed, dramatic, comedic,
romance from 1985, with the incredible
blues of B.B. King as the soundtrack!
Plus, it had the ever-delightful Michelle Pfeiffer and the ever-zany Jeff Goldblum, with a smidge of David Bowie, and Dan Aykroyd, and even Clu Gulager with his "or what category"!
Oh, there was even an Elvis Tribute Artist, played believably by Bruce McGill!
No singing or dancing by him, but at least he had a beautiful car!
Yes, that movie always lightens my mood and makes me smile!
(smile!)
It was "Bonus Material", with a mini-documentary of John Landis talking to B.B. King!
Plus, the blues legend was playing with Dan, Michelle, and Steve Martin all blowing brass, while Eddie Murphy beat drums and Goldblum played piano!
All footage I had not ever seen!!!
What a magical treat for both me and my two feet!!!
(smile!)
I was in graduate school in Tallahassee and the man came to play at a fairly small club, The Moon, near campus.
I must have been no more than thirty feet from him!
What an incredible experience that had been!
And now, feeling right as rain, I'm off to bed.
Sweet dreams are awaiting...
(smile!)

After the Oscars, I logged into oscars.org/inmemoriam to check on some favorite actors and musicians who had passed.
Sadly, I found Clu Gulager ("I'd say I fall into the "or what" category") and Irene Papas (Shaheen, the grand matriarch of the Iranian mafia) had both died.
Both were 93 years old.
I had not realized they were the same age.
Well, not quite.
She had just turned 93 at the time of her death; he was soon to be 94 at the time of his passing.
Sad to know they're gone now.
