Weekend Update........

The weekend was great. We ate at a great little fish place on Friday night and stuck to our healthy eating plan. Saturday night after church was The Keg....wonderful, we "splurged" from our 'diet' and had bread and baked potato's with our steak - very yummy food, and great wine.

Sunday night we to SMG and saw "The Changeling" ...(ate some great appetizers, too). It was a good movie. It depicted the complete and total corruption within the LA police department in the 1920's. Had I not known this movie was based on a true story, I would never have believed that corruption to this degree existed back then (much less now). Angelina Jolie plays the lead role of the movie, as a single mother named Christine Colins. Her 9 year old son ends up missing. Several months later, the LAPD announce they have found her son. She is a great actress, because the emotion she showed when she was told her son had been found, was intense and moving. Then the "hiccup" - - - would you not know your own son (?). He has been missing only a few months, not a few years. The child they brought back to her - is a full 3 inches shorter than her son, and - unlike her son - this child has been circumcised. He is definitely not her son. Since she continues to talk to the LAPD about the fact that they have not found "her" son, and she refuses to accept the boy they brought her as her son, they end up saying she is crazy and they commit her to an - insane asylum (yes, that is what I would call it). Her friend, The Reverend, who has been fighting the corruption in the LA police department with his weekly radio broadcasts, manages to hire a lawyer "pro bono" and get her released from the "hospital". They go to trial, and - she "wins" as far as the trial goes. Some of the top officers in the police department are removed from duty, and others are recommended to be removed from duty. But as far as her son goes, there is "no winning". She never stops looking for him, but he is never found.
