Friday we went to the Gateway to see The Persian Version – happy that the theater is still showing the occasional non-mainstream movie – and before the show had dinner with our friend Joe at the Greek restaurant next door. It was the first Greek restaurant I’d ever been to that had entrees in the $40 range, and crabcakes on the menu but no moussaka.
Going over recent events, Joe expressed amazement at all the press given to the death of Matthew Perry. “I bet Jimmy Carter is lying around thinking, ‘If I don’t get at least half of this attention …’” He also regaled us with his evening spent using ChatGPT. Joe being Joe, he gave it some unusual tasks, one of which was “Create a knock-knock joke about Pol Pot.”
The movie was delightful.
