waiting for superman

I did watch 'waiting for superman' earlier today, as expected i enjoyed it. there was plenty about michelle rhee, the D.C. school czar, who tried to change things but ran into too much resistance. even did a text message, after it was mentioned in the movie. sending the word 'possible', and it asked for a zip code. as the saying goes, 'think globally, act locally'.
   it was one of 5 things i wanted to do today, got all but one of them done. there was 2 movies to see, otherwise i likely would have done all of them, didn't get laundry done. did dishes and groceries. also found an article about my hometown, about the 'Fort Emerson Hough' playground in my hometown, how its future is in doubt. one of the reasons is vandalism.
   the second movie was at a film festival in Minneapolis, a biography about Hank Greenspun, who seemed to be like a Forrest Gump, a part of many historic events as a Las Vegas newpaperman. Would like to see their movie about baseball, but sold out and a waiting list. there may be a second showing later on, due to the demand.
