A Christopher Green update:
I spent the Cleveland Indians opener with my Chris! Of course he was funny - remember, he can't talk - someone actually asked me if he was always funny... I told them the truth - it is his goal in life! but come on - he had four women in the the room - and he is not going to be funny? Right. And, the Indians won in with their fantastic team spirit. He is doing better breathing, but very fidgety. I have brought him in several small squeezy things, but they get lost.
Again - thank you all for the wonderful messages, prayers and thoughts. You are all such loving people!

Twelve Years A Slave
It was so engrossing. I thought the cast did a wonderful job...
I'd heard, of course, just what a downer of a movie it was, and for me, it really wasn't as awful as I'd thought it was going to be. Maybe I was just prepared to see the brutality. I don't know.
One thing I did notice was the continuing undercurrent of fear and stress all throughout. I felt scared for the slaves nearly the whole time.
I did know he would get his freedom back, but I was extremely curious as to just how. It was well done, and very satisfying.
Go see it!
