| DVD of the Week |

This week's DVD of the Week is "Maudie"
"Maudie" is a foreign film coproduced in Canada and Ireland. The story is a dramatized biography of Maud Lewis, the Nova Scotian painter, who has struggled with arthritis for most of her life. Longing for an escape from a family that shelters her, Maud finds work as a cleaning lady. She explores artistry and love in the home of her fish peddler client. Sally Hawkins plays Maud 'dynamically,' which is a vacuous word that doesn't explain anything, so you will have to see it for yourself.

Sometimes it is a relief to think about something happening a mind-boggling distance away to put daily stresses and concerns in perspective. The British Broadcasting Company just put out an article explaining that two neutron stars collided with such impact, a kilonova, that ripples theorized as 'Einstein's Waves' hit Earth. The LIGO-VIRGO Scientific Collaboration detected the wave's effect in time to alert more than 70 telescopes to witness the event. It happened a thousand billion billion Kilometers away and 130 million years ago. The wave and light just arrived.
Come on by and check out a new book. Happy Reading!
