in the evening i went to see the movie 'high sierra' at the trylon in south minneapolis. this was part of an ida lupino series, and i chose this one because humphrey bogart is in it. i wouldn't expect a heist movie to make me laugh, but it did. a quip about a lady, and a dog, on a heist by the main character got a laugh out of me. i also liked the subplot of the main character wanting to help a young lady with a club foot, by getting her the surgery she needed. i had seen some other bogart movies before, one of them was 'caine mutiny', in a high school class. another was 'casablanca'. another day of not having much planned, at least until the evening. in the morning i did the laundry, and when it was done i drove to the best buy in roseville. i did my research and there was one box of baseball cards at that location, so i bought it. and i used the certificate i was sent, likely from buying a microwave oven a month ago. when i got home i had lunch, then i got to getting the cards into binders. i took some out because i don't value cards that have no stats on them, but there was still a net gain on the cards i have. i added one plastic page to one team's section. and one binder was swapped out as it was starting to fall apart. it was the evening by then, so i ate and went to the movie shortly thereafter. i had some popcorn and seven-up at the movie. i was online just before leaving and saw the news how ex-president carter had passed. i recall the first passing of an ex-president in my lifetime, it was nixon, near the end of year two of college in iowa city. i recall there was no mail delivery the day of the state funeral, and wondering what this means related to me working at a bank. i am used to all federal holidays being bank holidays as well. guess i will find out more when i am back at work, as i have one more day off. during my walks i found 53 cents.
