forestcats and I received when our own parents died. It was a very good feeling, and I hope that our bereaved friends were comforted by our presence.In a lighter vein, once home, I streamed Mel Brooks' film, Silent Movie, which I had never seen. I remember it being discussed in the Daily Bruin, back in the day; it came out when I was at UCLA. I just never got around to seeing it, along with a couple other films of Brooks. With the seriousness of the last couple of days, it was nice to put on something light and airy. The slapstick was very well-done, and I enjoyed the film.
