Since we washed the car yesterday, and then stopped for greasy burgers and got rained on, today we went to Terebithia. The movie was well done. Lloyd stayed awake through the whole thing. He said afterward that it was not what he was expecting, but it was good anyhow.
I was afraid of full-blown Disneyfication. As the fantasy element is integral to The Bridge to Terebithia, I was anxious that it might be overdone. However, the special effects were kept in their place and did not get in the way of the story. If you tend to weep during movies, take an extra hanky.
The quote† for today is from Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), Journals, "entry for Nov. 13, 1839" (1906):
Make the most of your regrets; never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it come to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh
