Tripping Back in Time -- Tonight!

I just love Netflix! It allows me the guilty pleasure of watching all my favorite old movies whenever I want!

I first learned about "Marjorie Morningstar" when JLSHall was reading the book when we were kids. Of course, where Joy went so went Melissa and I eventually read the book as well. Then, I managed to catch the movie during one Saturday afternoon matinee on television. I have never seen it again but I have acquired a copy of the book for my own library -- thank you Ebay. So, as I was making my queue for Netflix, I had to include this movie. It came up, it came in the mail and tonight I am going to just sit back and enjoy!

JLSHall -- you always did have good taste in books/movies -- thanks!

Yes, that was one of the first "grown-up" books I checked out of the library. I doubt that I really understood most of it, and I've never re-read it. I should get a copy for my own library one of these days. Oh, and put it on my Netflix list, too.

Well, I got half way through the movie and had to go to bed -- we started it way too late. I am going to finish it up this afternoon though. It is good but I always did like Natalie Wood. It is strange but all these "old" movies that I am watching seemed so different when I watched them the first time. This is actually "lighter" than I thought it was. It is good, definitely put it on your Netflix list.

Update

 Yes, it has been a month — and what a month it has been.  Long story short all the grafts from my husbands bypass surgery have disappeared ...
