Day 333 - Windy City

We were woken up in the middle of the nightly the storm outside: driving rain and howling winds. We'd isn't think too much about it until the following morning when we started reading some of the articles in the local press. Apparently we had a couple of tornadoes go through Sarasota, flattening a number of buildings and leading to two fatalities. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss: many of our neighbours received advisory text messages in the middle of the night suggesting that they take shelter in the bathroom. Not sure how many did though...

All if this, coupled with the fact that we had another rainstorm blow through just before 09:00 meant that out planned golf game with friends Brad and Jessica got blown away...literally. Instead, I contented myself with watching Man U vs Liverpool on the box here in the morning.

At lunchtime, we headed to the Club for lunch with the aforementioned Brad and Jess - a delicious Reuben sandwich, since you ask!  After that, with the sun out, though the wind still blowing, we opted for a gentle 9 holes. Actually a nice way to spend the afternoon as the course was quiet. 

Next on the agenda was a trip to see the movie "Spotlight" which is one if the Oscar Best Picture contenders. This is the story of the Boston Globe's investigation into abuse in the Cathilic Church. Parallels were immediately apparent with All The Presidents' Men though this story was definitely lower key and focussed more on the procedural nature of the investigation - and was probably truer to life as a result. A good film and one which kept the audience rapt.
