We had a whole bunch of chores to do Saturday -- UPS for a return, Kohl's for a pickup, Target for some household stuff, Guitar Center so Paul could see if he could sell his old guitar now that he has a new one, plus some other stores -- so in the middle of all the schlepping, we took a walk at Washingtonian Lake, which was less crowded than I thought it might be and had lots of blooming flowers and busy geese and ducks. Plus there was a shaved ice truck, so I got blue coconut shaved ice while we walked!
After all that running around, we had leftover stew for dinner, then we watched Thirteen Lives. I thought I knew most of that story and wasn't sure I'd love the movie, especially with big-name non-Thai actors in a story that's mostly about Thai people. But it's excellent: gorgeous cinematography, terrific pacing for a two and a half hour movie, superb acting from the famous and less famous alike, and a really wonderful it-takes-a-village (and a world) storyline that demonstrates how hundreds of people can be heroes.
