Sometimes, the programmers at TCM hit one out of the park. Tonite is one of those times. First up was Casablanca. The epidimy of "classic" movies. Bogie, Ingrid Bergman and a great script in an exotic location. Popular when released, it has stood the test of time.
Next up is From Here to Eternity. Oh, man - Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr in one of the most famous love scenes ever. Frank Sinatra didn't sing. Montgomery Clift as a boxer, and Donna Reed as a hooker. Talk about casting against type! Ernest Borgnine as a bully - well, he sure played that sort of character well!
If I stay awake Notorious is next. A Hitchcock classic with Carey Grant and Ingrid Bergman. I haven't seen this one in years - I might just have to stay up!
It's been a while since I updated my health situation. If it weren't for the loss of use of my left hand, I'd bet I'd be going back to work in a couple weeks. I get around ok, but tire easily yet. More exercise will take care of that.
I'm seeing one of my best friends - The Young Doctor. He is a chiropractor, and he thinks he can help me regain some use in my left arm. I see a nerve specialist, but not until next month. So, it's been major goofing off for me. More than a bit boring fer sure, but these things do take time.

Fabulous movies, all. I love old movies, and particularly like Burt Lancaster. The beach scene is classic. I've never seen one of his movies that I didn't like.
I'm sorry, I forgot to say, glad to hear that your recovery is progressing. Didn't mean to be rude!
Don't worry - I sure didn't think you were rude at all!
I'm glad that you are experiencing progress. Slow progress is still progress. :)
Enjoy those movies!
I am sorry about the left hand. Hang in there. We are pulling for you.
