So, in the wee hours of Sunday morning, Mrs. Curley hears the pitter-patter of feet run to the bathroom. She goes to investigate and catches youngest (~7 years old) son popping a Reese' Peanut Butter Cup into his mouth in the bathroom. Mrs. Curley asks son where he got this prohibited food: "Cleaning out the car on Saturday" (Who knows how long it had been there). Mrs. Curley asks him why he is eating it now: "Because Saturday is Lent and Sunday is not."

Watched the "Glen Miller Story" with Jimmy Stewart last night. Made me want to do some dancing with Mrs. Curley. Several years ago I took my oldest son and daughter (both played in a band; trumpet and clarinet respectively) to see the Glen Miller Band on tour. They sounded just like the original-but it seemed funny to sit there and listen and not dance. The movie itself is not a particular classic (and possibly not particularly accurate), but a good time with some good music-including Louis Armstrong playing (and singing) "Basin Street Blues". Number one daughter says this is her favorite scene in the movie.
