Naked men are running amok on the streets of San Francisco!

I haven't reported on movies lately, even though I saw quite a few in the last week. Capturing the Friedmans is probably the best among them and, at this point, almost everyone I know has already asked me what I thought of it. So now that I've seen it late, and probably no one cares what I think. But I'll tell you anyway. It is just ok. Nothing to write home about. I did see a kind of old school documentary called Hearts and Minds, about Viet Nam. It is an old fashioned documentary, where they weren't afraid to drive their point home with some propaganda style visual rhetoric. I also watched Atlante, which I was told was the best film ever made. It's a 1936 movie in French about a lady who marries a tugboat captain. Ahead of its time, yes, suprising for it's time, yes. Greatest film ever made, I think not. Also watched The Man Who Would Be King, which is a Rudyard Kipling story with Michael Caine looking like Gene Wilder, and Sean Connery still fit. Kind of a good forgotten movie if you need a good rental.

Yesterday we went for a nice stroll, capped off by some fantasic roasted potatos. Kind of a perfect day. But today we went for a hike in Marin, only it was incredibly foggy. So you could hardly see the trail ahead of you. And we came on a german encampment in the woods that was decrepit. I didn't like that one bit. We also saw Mark and Stephanie's new house, which is a very fancy condo, with marble floors and three balconies etc. It's in a gated community. While there, a seaplane landed, not a hundred feet from the bedroom. While not for me, it is very nice, in it's way. Kind of intimidating washer dryer set.

Today a man stood naked outside my office for about a half hour. I don't think he was protesting anything. In the end, the police came and subdued him and put him on a stretcher and took him away in an ambulance. Also, there was another guy in a skeleton suit on a stone wall by the train, with a big skeleton mascot head, kind of dancing around. Just a coincidence that two people were beserk today outside my office. But you'd think people never saw a naked man get subdued by the police, the way the whole office was glued to the windows and looking with binoculars.
