It's what you do in the
medieval city of Göttingen, you kiss the Goose Girl. I made a
pilgrimage side trip to see her, during my stay in Germany. The
fountain is based on a Grimm fairy tale, and local doctorates kiss her
when they graduate...tourists too. I also met the Pied Piper himself in
Hamelin.
In Portland, Oregon, The Kronos Quartet played the 1999 score to
Dracula (1931) with its composer Philip Glass, a show I'd seen a few
times before when the composition was new. I also enjoyed the classics The Graduate, Suspiria (restored print), The Warriors (in Paris), Psycho II and Saturday Night Fever, all looking fantastic on the big screen. New films I loved this year included La La Land and Disney's live action Beauty and the Beast. My favorite new movie of 2017: The Disaster Artist.
My nephew took me trick-or-treating during my autumn visit. I'm
grateful to have visited my family during a beautiful time of year.
