Either way, I kind of liked how the movie wasn&#8217;t as grim as the book. I also watched the orginal version of <b>The Man Who Knew Too Much<\/b> and I didn&#8217;t like it as much as the remake. Even with Doris Day, I liked the newer one better.<\/p>\n<p>So last night I was at the Lucky Lab brewpub for the second night in a row. The first night was a going-away party for a friend who has a 3-year job in Germany. The second night was to hear a neighbor&#8217;s band play. He&#8217;s in all sorts of bands and I never saw this group, but he&#8217;s been playing with them for 25 years! I feel kind of bad about it, since I&#8217;m on his email list for his shows and I haven&#8217;t gone for a long time. Don&#8217;t people know I&#8217;m boring and like watching TV?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a beautiful spring day in Portland.
