Uh, I do mostly feel just alright, actually, . . . for the time being. It all feels a bit out of time & place, and I'm concerned for others, but I'm the sort of person who's happy to have to stay home.

I love this episode! One of my faves! Maybe time to re-watch it today...:)
ReplyDeleteKIRSTEN: Me too-I saw "True Grit" when I came out--can that be? I was only 8 in 1969---but, yeah, my parents took us to pretty intense movies:
ReplyDeleteI was scarred by the collapse (death?) of Kim Darby's horse Little Blackie!
What was her character's name?
Mattie Ross.
Of course. But I have to look it up!)
STEVE: I keep meaning to watch an episode and keep being "too busy"!
