The Good Doctor and I went to see “Capote” Friday night. It’s excellent. Philip Seymour Hoffman has mad skills. His turn as Capote is mesmerizing and should certainly warrant Oscar consideration.

You know it was good, because I stayed awake for the whole thing. As this was our first joint cinematic experience, I warned him about my proclivity toward falling asleep in theaters. But I didn't close my eyes once.

I do think he checked on me a few times, though. Which was probably wise.
