Saturday at home

It was very cold today (or so they tell us), not that we know since we spent all day here in the house. Let me check...it says that it's -6 right now, high of 13 earlier. And that's not counting windchill.
Yes, it's been a cold cold winter. The cliche is that we should be grateful for these times when it's July and outrageously hot. Or vice versa. It doesn't help of course, but what can you do?
So what did we do today? Watched a lot of movies. Last month I read my first Philip Marlowe novel 'The Long Goodbye'. I also read a second one, 'The Big Sleep'. Both of these have had movies made after them and (thanks Netflix), this morning I watched the later's movie. It's a Bogart/Bacall movie and plenty of fun. There's something about the dialogue from a good hard boiled film noir. It's cutting and clever. (Relia slept through most of it.)
This afternoon we watched 'Double Jeopardy' with Ashley Judd. Far-fetched, but enjoyable and Ashley is very easy on the eyes. The FP Gal hadn't seen it before.
Next was the Gopher basketball game. They won 63-50 and looked good doing it. Well...they missed far too many open layups but what can you do?
Continuing the LA detective theme from earlier, we also watched 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'. A very clever movie, very enjoyable. (Relia slept through most of this one too.)
Don't get the idea that the entire day was spent on the couch. A fair amount of it was spent in front of the computer, too. Not the most productive Saturday...but relaxing enough.

Who needs productivity? I think we all need a lazy day now and than.

The tough thing is that I didn't want to do that all day. That was pretty much baby driven.
