I opened the door and the screen - it's warmer outside than in! 

Batman 

yesterday was pretty good, but very dark- and Robert Pattinson was not much of a Bruce Wayne. The story was supposed to be Batman in the first couple of years of his history. It's a bit harder to stretch the imagination than it used to be. His Bruce Wayne kept to himself, not a playboy or a philanthropist.

Catwoman was not so hot either- not enough cats. Her "mask" was a "pussyhat " (like the pink ones knitted for the anti-Trump protests) with a strip across her nose. Her leather catsuit was good.

Dinner at Bahama Breeze was good - we had $30 in gift certificates. It just about covered Steven's dinner. I got my usual cup of Cuban Black Bean Soup and Conch Fritters. We also got an appetizer of empanadas - not much filling in them, compared to the ones we get from the Empanada Lady here in town. They were more expensive than my whole meal. No dessert - I was full.
