I bought the soundtrack, which as I expect you know is just a collection of music of the era in the film. But what music!<br /><br />Knowing someone who used cutting to deal with the pain of untreated depression, I'm not sure that author used the right comparison. Perhaps he wanted a more original comparison than "hitting one's head against a brick wall" but it doesn't sit well with me. There, that's my grump for the day :)<br /><br />Glad you made it home safely. I'm sure Olga and Dave are happy to have you home again.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-88605440715061046862019-09-29T20:23:49.914+01:002019-09-29T20:23:49.914+01:00That photo is truly stunningThat photo is truly stunningJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-47672126596533140492019-09-29T19:28:07.370+01:002019-09-29T19:28:07.370+01:00That alligator is just too cute.

Interesting perspective on Brexit. I heard another interesting take on our divided politics last week. It was at one of my lectures at ASU. It was more about the shift from a "we" society to and "I" society. I should do a post about it.

It was a good thing to get it for her.<br />Interesting Brexit observations and comparisons. So- do you suppose the Koch Brothers supported Trump because they knew he was going to tear the country apart and allow it to descend into a place where the United States of America is nothing more than a phrase? <br />Ah well.
