What we did on our Thanksgiving Break, part 6 (last)

Finished up this weekend with usual Sunday activities (Mass, breakfast, nap...)


We stopped by to drop off leftover turkey for Mom, then headed to see "The Queen." Well acted, esp by Helen Mirren, and well edited. The scenes of "Diana the hunted" were intense, and her destiny seemed inevitable. The film did a good job of evoking the questions and memories of that week between Diana's death and her funeral. Mirren is QE2 -- appearance, mannerisms, intelligence, etc.

There's a great prediction made by QE2 to Tony Blair about how, just as the public clamored against her family in their slow reaction to Diana's death, they would someday clamor against him. "It will come, Mr. Blair, and without warning." Seems fairly prescient given current events, or maybe this was just the voice of wisdom speaking to her 10th PM.

Great weekend ending for the monarchy/history buff.


Great leftovers from Luigi's. Hope everyone else is rested.
