Today’s Business: 2009-09-15
Grilled two 8-ounce trout and heated a can of vegetable soup for lunch for the two of us. Aside from the strong and quite residual fish odor here in [Emmy's] apartment, the meal tasted quite good and was moderately filling. Next time, we’ll have to get some slightly bigger fish.Â
We watched our usual TV today, including The Young and the Restless, Dr. Phil. KDKA TV local news, NBC Nightly News, and CNN’s AC 360. We may look in on the last episode of Guiding Light, which is to air this coming Friday, September 18th, 2009.
Patric Swayze passed away last night of pancreatic cancer. His death reminded me of my favorite movie of 1990, which was  Ghost, in which Swayze played the protagonist. The Dirty Dancing movie was pretty good also; I watched this for the first time in 2000 with [Lynn]. But of these two, I liked Ghost the best. Though I’ve seen this movie perhaps ten times, I still get teary-eyed at the end when the gates to heaven open up for the last time, beckoning Swayze to enter.Â
[Emmy] gave me one of her world-class back massages during AC 360.
The Penguins played their first pre-season game tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Pens won 5 to 4 in overtime. We listened to the game on Internet radio.
Cloudy morning today but mostly sunny afternoon with high temperatures in the low 80s.
