Journal Entry for Friday, Nov 4th

Tower Heist From a low of 43 degrees this morning, to a high of 63 this afternoon with partly cloudy skies, it was just one more very nice “fall” day. After lunch at home, we went to see the movie Tower Heist, a comedy caper about working stiffs who seek revenge on the Wall Street swindler who stiffed them, starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. Workers at a luxury Central Park condominium, they discover that the penthouse billionaire has stolen all of their retirement monies. They seek revenge by plotting a break-in of his penthouse and a heist to reclaim what he took from them. Though a little weak in places, overall we thought it was a fun movie with a very good cast. After all, isn't that why one goes to the movies - to be entertained? We give it 3-1/2 Stars. Before returning home, after the movie we headed over to the “M” Resort for a little gambling action and dinner. I won $350 in the poker room. Later in the evening, I went to the airport to pick up Jim Herring and his friend Patrick, who will be in town for the next week.
