Out of Omaha ... Olmost

The longest sit-down on our tour, Egg and I have been in Omaha since Wednesday evening, having driven I-80 from Des Moines, stopping, of course, at the World's Largest Truck Stop. Since that time, I've seen four films, one play and three shopping plazas. I've encountered some rude people and some nicer people. I've dealt with highs of -1 to mid thirties, snow and ice to chilly and sunny. In all, I've found Omaha to be a nice place, easy to navigate, lots to keep you occupied, etc.

Meryl Streep is a genius and in PRIME, which I finally got around to seeing, she is absolutely brilliant. Notice her character choices and nuances, psychological gestures, ticks, et al. One of the finest actors alive no doubt, she should win every award in the book for this role. (I've only been so facinated recently with one other performance, Cate Blanchett in THE AVIATOR -- a horrid film, but a performance to be studied and learned from. Streep is the same in this flick.)

Too bad I'm dumb. I didn't understand SYRIANA. Damn. It was pretty though.

Next time: reasons I wish I were in solitary confinement.
