On Saturday I re-potted the remaining orchid and brought it
inside for the winter.  It had finished blossoming and was
more than ready to be re-potted.  Actually, as I look at it
now, I see a new plant that is hanging outside the pot.  It
looks quite happy so maybe I'll just leave it alone.

In the evening we went to Salina for a meeting of the
Film Club.  The film was Sunset Boulevard starring
Gloria Swanson and William Hurt.  David Gatten
did an introduction to the film and a follow-
up after the end.  Robert commented that if we had
watched that film on TV we wouldn't have thought
much of it, but thanks to David it was pretty interesting.
He told us to look for familiar faces at the bridge table
and that Cecil B DeMille played himself in the movie,
as did Hedda Hopper.  Cameo appearances included
Buster Keaton, H.B.Warner and Anna Q. Nilsson.  I
recognized Hedda Hopper and Buster Keaton, but
missed the others.  There was quite a discussion of
the movie after it ended, too. 

After the discussion there were all sorts of goodies
to eat and wine or water to drink.  It was really nice
to be with the Salina folks for an evening.

This morning Keating called, but I was still asleep
and she didn't want Robert to wake me up; we'll
talk later in the week.  I look forward to that.
