Friday at last! Huzzah!

As today is the birthday of one of our favorite Scotsmen–Sean Connery,

who is turning 87!–I think it is appropriate to watch (at least) one of his movies. I suggest The Man Who Would Be King (1975)or Time Bandits (1981)or The Wind and the Lion (1975)

You could also watch the early Bond movies or The Hunt for Red October (1991) or others, but don’t watch The Untouchables (1987) which, coincidentally, I watched the other night. Sean Connery won his only Oscar for this movie, but it is really pretty bad. It boasts a handsome young Kevin Costner, but every time Kevin opens his mouth, I cringed. He may look a little like Gary Cooper, but he doesn’t sound like him! What a terrible voice. Anyway, even Robert de Niro as Al Capone can’t save this movie, which is just a lot of mobster violence and bad music.

On another note, the wee babes visited their dad at his store the other day while their Nonnie (other grandmother) had to be somewhere else.

They had fun in the stock room and were, of course, precious.

A few days later they were sitting up by themselves!

Brilliant!

I  hope your weekend is brilliant too.
