For me the weak link was Cuba Gooding as OJ, but everyone else was stellar.

I'll have to research her story. I saw that OJ show on the Netflix menu but sort of dismissed it. Maybe I should take another look.

Oh, often, but since this blog is family rated, I'll spare the details...I am also familiar with Vera Lynn having heard the White Cliffs of Dover on several occasions and seeing a clip of her on television while I was briefly in England long ago. I'm glad to hear she's reached one hundred.

Is that short for "ecstasy"? When my mother's coffin went into the void behind velvet curtains, the song that was playing was "The White Cliffs of Dover" by Vera Lynn. Mum was in the Women's Royal Air Force in WWII so the song had special resonance.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
