Yesterday we went our for dinner in Georgetown, to Bistro Francais. It's was the first time we were in this nice french restaurant, with a beautiful interior and good food.

We had a really good time and stayed till late in the restaurant. Afterwards we went for a late movie; we saw Match Point in the Georgetown Loewie theater.

Match Point is a story about an ex-tennis player who joins high-society in the UK by marrying a rich girl, and who falls in love with his brother-in-law's fiance. The film is directed by Woody Allen, and the main theme is Allen's long-held belief in the power of luck in determining people's destiny.

It's a good movie, a thriller, and although Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is not playing a very good role as the main character, the other actors are compensating for this (most notably Scarlett Johansson).

It's a quiet Saturday morning. Sasha just left for her French lessons; she has conversation classes on Tuesday and regular classes on Saturdays. My Spanish is only once a week, but in March there will be a conversational course on Saturday's also; something I will definitely sign up for.

At work everything's well. Next I'll go to Puero Rico, so we spent a lot of time preparing presentations and materials for there. Some of the presentations we needed color printed -- this is remarkably easy with Kinko's "remote printing".

I finished reading "A People's History of the United States", a book that -as I started realizing while reading the book- was written from an American socialist point of view. Now I'm half-way a great new book by Davic McCullough, 1776 -- an account of the military campaign of Washington against the British. I just read about the Battle on Dorchester Heights in Boston. This was an early victory of the Colonial Army, when they occupied this strategic point overlooking the harbor in one single night, forcing the British to leave the city.
