Happy Friday! Tomorrow I get up pre-dawn and fly back to Chicago and get to see Albie Dog again. But today, site seeing!

Last night I got my friend to watch JHMS a second time! And she liked it a lot more than the first time, so much that she was wondering why she didn’t like it the first time? And once again, she decided, it’s expectations. When you are watching it trying to figure out what this movie is and what it is doing, you can’t enjoy it. Once you know what to expect, you like it. At least, that’s what I’ve heard most from people and that was my own experience as well, enjoyed it much more on the second watch. Did any of you like JHMS the first time, or was it a second time for you too?

I’m going to Alcatraz today! Which is apparently amazing, and also very very VERY cold. Those are the two things I have heard from my friend, her husband, and another friend who used to live in SF that I mentioned it to. Any tips? I’m planning on wearing two shirts and two pants and comfortable walking shoes.

I had a nightmare that Albie Dog wasn’t being taken care of at the sitter and when I went to pick him up, it was just a hollow sleeve. So I asked the sitter for a proof of life photo, he looks happy and healthy, right?

Do they serve coffee on dawn flights? Do airport coffee shops open before 6am? That would be another solution.
