Ah the good ol' days

You couldn't leave tomorrow even if you wanted to. Can't get any information about how to get out of this place. No buses, not even a fruit truck. Nobody speaks English. Anybody for a nightcap? - The Sheltering Sky


Not much time to write today - I am meeting the gang at MGM Studios for a day in the heat. Don't I have a good attitude? I will only be there for about six hours and then I head to my dance class and then back to Epcot (I think) for a lovely french dinner.

Anyway, I found this article on the way travel has changed since 1994. No, not since 2001 (which many people carp on) but 1994. For all we've been inconvenienced for terrorist security, this will remind one of the conveniences that have come along that completely mitigate the the inconveniences of extra security. I traveled a lot circa 1994 so I find this to be a lovely reminder.

Since I've used The Sheltering Sky as my movie quote o the day, here's yet another excellent quote (Don't recall if this was in the book. I still have not found my copy. It's clearly been nicked."

Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.
