Balance
The Goddess and I watched Stephanie Daley last night and we’re still talking about it. So many layers, so many lines to read between, and so much to savour and consider.
It being a rainy afternoon, I’ve just finished watching Rambo and enjoyed it tremendously. Was I flashing on my teen years where I grew up with the first three instalments in the franchise?* Rather likely.
And I can’t help thinking: does my unalloyed enjoyment of Rambo make me a Bad Person? Or just Naughty? Time may tell.
* I laughed out loud when, asked about the intervening forty years between being drafted for the Vietnam War and his current situation in Thailand, Rambo says, It’s complicated.

I was on Yahoo and found your blog. Read a few of your other posts. Good work. I am looking forward to reading more from you in the future.

thanks for your kind words, Tom. as hard as it can get to keep on keeping on it’s the intermittent reinforcement of comments like yours that remind me that i am not alone.
