Theme Day: Red

Today, April 1, 2010 is Theme Day in the CDPB CityDailyPhotoBlog community. I'm sure we've all heard the expression: "seeing red". Well, seeing red helped to ferry me through a significant part of my recovery... the evenings. My buddy C- in Atlanta gave me a subscription to Netflix, and its 'redness' was easy to spot in our mailbox. I usually watched between 4-5 per week, and they got me through the long evenings before bed. I got lots of suggestions on movie selections along the way, but some of my favorites turned out to be "Keeping Mum", "Lars and the Real Girl", "3:10 to Yuma", "Kite Runner", "Donnie Darko", "Temple Grandin", "Valkyrie", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "No Direction Home" and "Big Love" on HBO. As you can see, my tastes are all over the place. Ahead, I still have about 15-20 in the the Netfix queue, so that'll keep me busy this spring. Pass the Popcorn. Oh yeah, I'm back to work today, finally... after a recovery of 91 days. Ya gotta have HEART!

.No cracks about April Fools either! hahhahaha!

  1. I see the movie going back. Neat idea.

    I chose a picture I took 55 years ago of my Patty wearing a red dress. On April Fool's Day, April 1, 1955.

    I gave her a diamond engagement ring, and today, April 1, 2010 is my entry for theme day on my Brookville Daily Photo blog.

  7. I laughed when I saw your post. I love the friend who thought to give you the subscription. My latest choice can sit on the shelf for weeks before I get to it. Congratulations on your successful recovery and return to work.

  8. You put your Netflix subscription to good use. Now that you are back in the groove remember to go slow at first. The inactivity over the past months will cause you to tire easily.
