we slowly amtrakked to park city a few weeks ago to spend time with friends and film in the snow at the sundance film fest. what a pleasure! we saw 20-some films, ate delightfully well, partied heartily, saw a few real movie stars, felt the cold 10 degree F in the very center of our teeth and bones, loved almost all of them - more later about exactly what we thought of them:

• In the Company of Women
• Investigation into the Invisible World
• The Corporation
• Heir to an Execution
• Neverland: The Rise and Fall of the Symbionese Liberation Army
• A place of our own
• Farmingville
• In the Realms of the Unreal
• Home of the Brave
• Persons of Interest
• Chisolm '72
• Word Wars
• Imelda
• The Woodsman
• Saved!
• Dogville
• Bright Young Things
• Good Bye Lenin
• Repatriation
• Seducing Dr Lewis
• Primer
• Maria Full of Grace

Plus one panel of authors who've written books that have become movies. Jane Smiley was most witty and snarky.

Now we're back to sleeping in, when possible, and entertaining Wanda with puffy balls of yarn.
