Fiona and Grant are an Ontario couple who have been married for over 40 years. Now, in the oncoming twilight of their years, they are forced to face the fact that Fiona's "forgetfulness" actually is Alzheimer's Disease. As Grant is coping with the institutionalization of his wife, he faces an epiphany when she transfers her affections to another man, Aubrey, a wheel chair-bound mute who also is a patient at the nursing home. Grant must draw upon his love for Fiona to perform an act of self-sacrifice in order to ensure her happiness . Based on a short story by Alice Munro (“The Bear Came Over the Mountain”), and directed by Sarah Polley. Starring Julie Christie (nominated for an Oscar) and Gordon Pinsent.

June Book Discussion
Lyn Hamilton, The Chinese Alchemist
Canadian mystery writer. Antiquities mystery set in Toronto, New York and China
First stop: 6:00 outdoors at "Stanton Public", 17 Stanton Street in the Lower East Side. Stanton Street is parallel to Houston, just one block south. Stanton Public is on the block just east of Bowery. Great lounge atmosphere!
Second stop: 7:30 outdoors at "d.b.a", 41 First Ave. between 2nd and 3rd Streets. Relaxing, unpretentious atmosphere.
Both places specialize in oustanding beer, including very fine cask-conditioned ale. But don't worry if you're not a beer drinker - Stanton Public offers all the usual lounge offerings, and d.b.a. offers wine and an amazing Scotch selection too!
Third stop: 9:45 (when the d.b.a. garden closes out of consideration to their neighbors) - another nearby spot, to be chosen by those who are still game. Maybe a jazz bar, or a coffee/dessert place.
RSVP to Jaye Landon at j3landon@yahoo.com. This is a totally open event, so invite your friends, significant other, colleagues.
