Working 0n Sasquatch Novel

It has been over two and half months since I last worked on my Sasquatch manuscript. On Wednesday I started working on it again.

The weather is again warming up. This week the temperature is suppose to get to the mid-70's. It has been generally cool in the morning, then it warms up.

“Fun With Dick and Jane” Movie

On Wednesday, I saw the movie “Fun With Dick and Jane”, which starred: Jim Carrey, Téa Leoni, Alec Baldwin, Richard Jenkins and Angie Harmon.

The plot involved the following: “History does seem to repeat itself, and so, the story of a successful couple striving for the American Dream through alternative means is just as relevant as the 1977 comedy starring George Segal and Jane Fonda. In this updated remake, Dick (Jim Carrey) and Jane (Tea Leoni) seem to have everything: good jobs, a big house, a Mexican housekeeper named Blanca, and a son who speaks Spanish because he spends so much time with her. When Dick is promoted, he is set up to take a fall for a big corporation, Globodyne, in an Enron-like scandal concocted by corrupt CEO Jack McCallister (Alec Baldwin) and his henchman Frank (Richard Jenkins). When the family falls on hard times--their lawn gets repossessed and they have to sell their prized plasma TV--they turn into modern-day Robin Hoods.”

I give the movie a “B”, and the movie is worth the price of an admission ticket, a large popcorn and a small soft drink. Both Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni were great.
