The Long Highway

Monday, August 09, 2004

Yesterday, we picked up Genevieve's good friend Wendy in Santa Monica and had brunch at the Border Grill. The girls went out for shopping and drinks, while I came home to watch the Cubs lose to the Giants. Grrr. Seeking something to do, I saw that The Spy Who Loved Me was playing at the Egyptian Theatre, down the street, so I toddled off and thoroughly enjoyed this best of the Moore Bonds. Caroline Munro, a B-movie actress who appears in TSWLM as a henchwoman, was in attendance. Suffice it to say, the years have not been kind.

This morning, Donald Duck was receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, honoring his 70th "birthday," so we had to go along. Genevieve swung by after dropping Wendy at the airport. Mickey, Minnie, all the stars were there for the unveiling in front of the wonderful Disney El Capitan Theatre. The Disneyland Marching Band led a procession of characters out of the theatre and onto Hollywood Boulevard.
