Sunday, 8:00 pm…
Somehow, without a deliberate plan of doing so, we ended up going back in time today… probably in a subconscious attempt to escape our present reality. After a pretty good night of sleep finally, we went out to breakfast at this place in old downtown Palo Alto that I had noticed yesterday. It’s an old diner that started in the 1920’s and is just a classic place - all original interior with the old booths and fountain bar - and good simple food too. This evening we went back downtown to go to an old movie house we had seen… but it wasn’t just any old movie house. The Stanford Theater is truly like stepping back in time… and they only show old movies there (we saw And Then There Were None, 1945, from the original archived print from film archives - amazing quality - one of the last places in the country that can show these old original film prints) . The theater has been restored to it’s original look with beautiful carpet and sofas in the lobby and a large balcony, art deco lighting, a huge square screen and the best part - after the movie ended, a huge amazing organ rises up out of the floor right in front of the red curtain onstage with a guy playing these old songs on it - the organ music was a perfect end to this day of going back in time… way back…. before all this. It was a good escape for awhile.
Good Night
Dan.
