    Sorry to be unclear... here you go:

    "Somebody Ease My Troublin' Mind" [youtube.com]

    About six months after my dad passed, I dreamed I met him on an infinitely long beach. I asked how he was doing and he told me, "It doesn't hurt anymore." I was happy to have encountered him there. Do miss him still.

    Last week stopped me cold; drained the color from my gut. We knew it wouldn't last, even if it left a scar. Didn't want to post here, didn't want words or pictures at all. "Somebody Ease My Troublin' Mind" pretty much underlies that whole project, and somebody has to do it. Nobody do nothin' for awhile, okay?

    Watched Good Girls Go To Paris (1939) [imdb.com] tonight. Throw-away lines are the best:

    Customer: "Waitress, what time is it?"
    Waitress: "I don't know, this isn't my table."

      My go-to for a good chuckle has always been His Girl Friday (1940) [imdb.com].

      Walter Burns: There's been a lamp burning in the window for ya, honey.
      Hildy Johnson: No thanks - I jumped out that window a long time ago.

    Shouldn't have posted in that Digitization thread. Thinking about mortality. Relatives were scattered or already gone, except for my mother and me. When the time came, I was the one who made the decision to "pull the plug" on my father. Watched the big white hospital clock tick.

    Remember every tick. Remember what you can.
