1. Wow! A Katharine Hepburn day!

Two of her Oscar-winning performances (The Lion in Winter and On Golden Pond) and a bunch of her Oscar-nominated films as well (Woman of the Year, The African Queen, and The Rainmaker). I hope the weather is lousy Saturday, so that I can justify parking in front of the tube all day long!

2. It's impossible to resist "The Lion in Winter."

What a script and what a cast! I always manage to find some excuse to watch it whenever it airs...

3. The weather is lousy here

but I'm watching the Westminster Dog Show that I recorded from Monday and Tuesday. :)
