Sweet Little Wife and I went to see Song Sung Blue with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson.
What a sweet little movie! It's about a pair of musicians in Wisconsin who were the core of a Neil Diamond tribute group. I've seen Hugh Jackman before in films, but this was the first "dramedy" that I've seen him in, and he knocked it out of the park. It also had Michael Imperioli (Christopher from The Sopranos) and Jim Belushi in supporting roles.
Several days prior to that we went out to see Anaconda with Jack Black. 45 minutes into the movie I kept wondering when it was going to start. Really scattered film. You didn't care about the characters, the "plot" was really thin, and we got up and left. The best thing about the film was the box of Junior Mints I got at the concession stand.
And STILL no precip. It's been in the 50's~60's~70's for the last several weeks, and we're bone dry. I mean ARID.... The humidity has been in the 10% range, and with all the winds we've had the soil is desiccated. It was 63* the other day, with a Dew Point of MINUS FIVE. You're talking single digits for humidity. Drier Than a Popcorn Fart as our local weather guy calls it. Trees are starting to bud, and patches of grass are greening up. And we've seen very few Canada Geese this year besides the gaggle or three that live here year-round.
So stay hydrated, check your six regularly, and watch the skies........
Colorado weather. It can break you. The hundreds of homesteads abandoned between Ault and Sterling during the Dust Bowl era is a stark reminder.
ReplyDeleteSide note. The museum in Sterling is outstanding in both the reality of homesteading and rural electrification.
I haven't been East of Ault, so I'll take your word for it. Sterling might be nice trip in the Spring.
DeleteWe're going to keep an eye out for "Songs Sung Blue" on one of our streaming feeds. Sounds like a good flick. Likewise, thanks for the heads up on Anaconda.
