random thoughts – Day 1,351 – (Tuesday) – teeth and hats

Despite determined declarations on Monday about going to the gym on Tuesday, it didn’t happen. The concept percolated in the back of my mind all day, but when work was done and it was finally time, there was no longer an interest. Funny how that works. I was cold and hungry and it became more of a food mission. A hot Italian sausage was sliced and mixed with rice and hot salsa and topped with cheese and it was delicious.

The evening’s entertainment was movies on Prime that star aging stars. The first was called Book Club: The Next Chapter, with Candice Bergen, Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton, Mary Steenburgen, and Don Johnson and an adventure in Italy. There were a lot of Hollywood perfect brilliant white teeth.

Diane Keaton and her very white teeth.

This was followed by And So It Goes with Diane Keaton and Michael Douglas and more blindingly white teeth. I can’t tell if the teeth are veneers or dentures and if both of these actors always lisped or if it’s something to do with aging and the teeth. Seriously, in And So It Goes there is a lot of lisping happening from both aging lead actors, and it's noticeable because there is a character named Sarah who is addressed by name and talked about throughout the movie. 

Now I’m fixated on the teeth and the lisping, and wondering if I had my teeth whitened would they blind people and also would it come with a lisp and if so, would speech therapy correct it. 

I’m also dwelling on Diane Keaton’s hats. Across the various movies, she sports a great assortment of hats in the outdoor scenes and I wonder if I start wearing my hats more (or at all) if I would look like an aging movie star. Or just an aging fool in a hat. Food for thought.
