The 80's produced some of the best motion pictures ever. Have you seen the 1989 movie Parenthood? One of director Ron Howard's masterpieces, as far as I am concerned. Brilliant casting with a great script. A quote for you (from IMDB, so it could be wrong. But it's close enough) between the main character and his grandmother-
[Gil has been complaining about his complicated life; Grandma wanders into the room]
Grandma: You know, when I was nineteen, Grandpa took me on a roller coaster.
Gil: Oh?
Grandma: Up, down, up, down. Oh, what a ride!
Gil: What a great story.
Grandma: I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just so interesting to me that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited, and so thrilled all together! Some didn't like it. They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it.
Eight sentences. In Grandma's last quote there were eight short sentences, and she managed to sum up what goes into a great life. It's a roller coaster ride for sure. Feeling great one minute, crying until you're sick to your stomach the next, completely unsure and self conscious a moment later, then laughing hysterically after that.
She's right.
Oh, what a ride!
Time to clean the kitchen. I'll be back with the WIP, the weather and maybe some witticisms (such as they are. Or aren't.).
...
Ok, after a 5 minute search for Phone and Camera I finally found them, hiding in my shirt pockets. Oh, it is to laugh. Ha Ha Hee Hee Ho Ho. Wise arses, the two of 'em.
Weather is such: 16°, fair skies, 5 mph winds and 71% humidity.
Work time.
Have a great day, Travelers
