Yesterday, for the first time in over a year, we went to the movies: Savor Cinema to see the live action shorts that were nominated for an Academy Award. There was no problem with social distancing as there was only one other person in the theater. The films were mostly depressing: a Palestinian man who goes shopping and is thwarted by soldiers at checkpoints, a young Black man who has a recurring dream he’s being shot by a policeman, a corrections officer in a high security prison. The highlight was the coming attractions, as one of the trailers was for The Truffle Hunters.
Needing relief, we went to Las Olas for dinner. It was not our lucky day. As soon as we sat down at a table near the window we saw shuffling down the sidewalk, with a covey of the curious, Dennis Rodman.
