For the past month or so, Monday has been my day for escapism. I will wake up for breakfast, trade out my clothes, and spend the rest of the morning and afternoon (until 3:00 music practice) with my eyes glued to the TV. The reason: James Bond all day long.As ashamed as I am to admit it, I am a fan of the hokey plots, super-weird villains, crazy stunts and all the other staples of the 007 movies. This summer the cable channel USA has been showing them all day long Mondays and some on Wednesday. The exotic locales are very a welcome change from my current environment - a drab white and gray squeezing steel enclosure. For me, these mornings are my ticket out of here and a way to avoid the realities of the prison around me. I can make some tea or hot chocolate, watch Bond pursue the bad guy of the hour and laugh at every terrible line or ridiculous stunt. It's dumb, but it's a nice comfort.
