The flyers

I did have the "entry from hell" set here from two this morning until about a half an hour ago.. Why do I feel guilty about it??  Well it is a "deep track" type of thing, and I'm not sure it is worth taking a chance on being seen.. It includes every aspect of the odd things that were from the beginning even before their wedding.. 

The holidays have come and gone and things between us are quite the same as they were before but with the exception that at least we got together, and things seemed better at least.. But there is tension still..  With the impending birth of his second son looming I think Donald is thinking everything will be healed with that event, and he may very well be right.. I would hope so as well but I would hope that he realizes that mom has always had their best interest at heart all along..  Even though they go through their periods of isolation, staying away from and keeping as little contact with everyone as they possibly can.. Reminds us of someone else in the family..  And it was that way in the early days of their marriage as we rarely heard from them, then suddenly we heard from them regularly.. Now we seem to be back in that lul of not hearing from them for months at a time.. Mom wants to stay in contact and in fact was hoping that after the first of the year we might could stop by once in a while..  That feeling seems distant, like it might just never happen but like I keep telling her wait until Ryan gets here.. If things aren't different then, then they may never change.. But we have done as much as we can.. I care, I just don't want things to be completely back to the way they were before.. Not completely... 

Three movies from Netflix this weekend were  Arena about a guy who gets kidnapped and forced to fight to the death for his life on a guys website.. Kinda cool flick..  Ted was the next movie, it was good and I could see why everyone thought it was  a good movie.. And then there was the classic "Bridge on the river kwi"    yep that classic from the late fifties I believe.. The whistle movie, that's right..  Quite good and extremely long.. I have said I wanted at least one classic movie every month and keep to that.. A couple months ago it was Soilent Green.. the classic, mom said she would never watch that one again.. I had never seen it from the very start..   I might try to get the original Planet of the apes, but I know I have seen that one from the start..  That was something I was thinking about last night.. Getting to see movies from the very start on cable tv on the movie channels, it was very hard thing to do,, Knowing a movie starts at the top of the hour was easier to get to but any other time and it was very hard to hit, and Starzz and their kin of channels that we had on cable was time shifted oddly.. I don't think I ever watched a movie from the very beginning that way.. And yes this is leading me to say that is the difference between cable and streaming.. Streaming you can start what you are going to watch when you want to watch it.. Instead of top of the hour or bottom of the hour you get to start the movie when you feel like it.. And watch the whole movie or you can start  it in the middle somewhere  simulate watching it on cable that way..
