Film Premieres, Comics and Chili

We took my mother-in-law to a film premiere this evening; all of my children participated in an environmental film camp and a big premiere with a red carpet was arranged for all participants.  It was fantastic and the matriarch enjoyed every minute...I can't imagine there are too many 98 year olds running around theatres these days.  She could hear, if not see, most of the three minute films and didn't mind staying for the reception.  In some ways, she has become something of a show and tell person; I introduced her to Rob Spencer, the bionic Canadian who put a camera in his eye, and comic, Albert Nerenberg, laughologist and maker of the film, Laughology.  We got a picture of the three of them and Mr. Nerenberg was incredibly nice especially when he listened to her talk about family born over 100 hundred years ago.  On the way home, the matriarch talked about him and how he had pushed a boy off the stage--he hadn't it was part of an act, but she did connect with the right person.  It was quite something.  Mind, the hunger situation doesn't seem to change.  On the way home, at 11 o'clock at night, we had to stop and pick up food at Tim Hortons; who else but my mother-in-law would eat chili before going to bed?
