On this Wednesday, Boston will enjoy warm to hot temperatures, with a high of 82* and a feels-like of 93* under sunny skies.
And so do the next days look splendid.
Seventies and eighties with a lot of sun.
Anyone complaining?

This from Kali L:
I too have gained weight and I eat ‘properly’ and run so I was just at my hormone doctor so much is not in our control even if we like to think it is
You look great
To age is to be in a constant state of acceptance of all that we cannot change
Web Meister Responds: “Constant state of acceptance.” Lovely.

Released on 30 June 1941, Panggilan Darah, the black-and-white film starred Dhalia and Soerip as orphaned sisters trying to make a living in the colonial capital of Batavia (now Jakarta) as housemaids for a man named Iskak, before moving to Kudus to work at a clove cigarette factory.
They later discover that they are Iskak's nieces and are welcomed into his home.
The film was shot on location at an orphanage and two factories in Central Java and was a modest commercial success in the Dutch East Indies and Singapore.
The acting drew critical praise, while the soundtrack, with nine kroncong songs, was reviewed favourably.
Despite this success, Oriental was unable to meet its expenses; the company merged with Multi Film soon afterwards.
Panggilan Darah, which was screened as late as 1952, may now be a lost film.
I bought two spec tickets from the Kendall Square theater.
If they find a copy of that lost film and they release it and Kendall Sq features it, I’m guaranteed two tickets at market price on premiere night.
Smart, huh?
