Have you ever had a day where just the sunshine alone can make you happy? The kind of day you want to bottle and save for when things seem to go wrong? The kind of day when the sky is so blue it's almost painful? A rare day. Today was such a day. Just lovely. The kind of day you can only appreciate because you have bad days to compare it to. I keep telling my children this. That one can't be happy if one is never sad because then happiness means nothing. It becomes the everyday, the mundane, the boring. We need to have good AND bad, happy AND sad, and all those other opposites.
Don't ask me why I've waxed philosophical, except that it's just that kind of day. Hope yours was good, too.

Books I'm reading:
I, Robot, by Isaac Asimov (got to keep teaching those eighth graders something)
Codename: Blondie, by Christina Skye (with whom I had a lovely conversation when she was in town for her book signing. Thanks for listening, Christina. I truly enjoyed talking to you.)
Green Mansions, by WH Hudson (for a book club, but it's just too dense for me.)

Films I recommend are:
Butch Cassiday and the Sundance Kid. A true classic.
Deliverance, just because it's a look into a whoooole other culture. (not really a film for kids)
The Indian Jones films, especially 1 & 3, 2 wasn't very good.
From The Hip. went from a light comedy to a serious drama. Great.
O Brother Where Art Thou. another fabulous Cohen Brothers film, a parody of Homer (I think) and the funniest movie I've ever seen.
The Legend of Baggar Vance. Filmed in a golf setting, but not about golf, like Field Of Dreams.
finally, The Rookie, a great film set in baseball, but about not being too late to chase your dreams.
