Fifty-four.
.
Nope, it doesn't look any better written out. Be that as it may, I am now 54. Thank you to all my facebook friends who sent wishes, and to those (both FB and non-FB) that sent a card.

What did we do? Well, Eddie and friends gave me a grand day out. Aldona, Ed and I went to see "Oz, The Great and Powerful" and I liked it. Although it might have been called, "Oz, The Great, Powerful and Overly Lengthy".
.
Then the 3 of us, plus Simon and Ben, went to Blue Water Grill. Very nice dining experience.
.
Then Eddie and I went to see "Breakfast at Tiffany's." How was it you ask...

| Cory Michael Smith and Emilia Carke |
Well, I went because I loved Cory Michael Smith (who played Fred) and was very very good. It was very true to the novella, not the movie - which was actually a bit of a problem. Too much expository and bizarre gay / not gay activity.

| Her expression in Game of Thrones matched her performance in Breakfast |
But the bigger problem was Holly GoLightly as played by Emilia Clarke. She was no Audrey Hepburn. She was no drag impression of Audrey Hepburn. She wasn't even a drag Better Davis. She held the stage with grandeur of George W Bush at an ACLU convention. She was (as once said of a better actor) a charisma-free zone. And, in the big bathtub scene went way way out of her way to hid her boobies, which is odd considering that everyone that HBO has scene her boobies often.

Much to the chagrine Emilia's fans (both of them?) we got a much longer look at Cory Michael Smith torso, nakid backside and a little full frontal.
