All pretense of normalcy evaporated today. Just too many interruptions and distractions to get anything at all done. Well, I’ll just chalk it up to lack of sleep. One of the hounds was pacing around all last night and after that and a day of work my brain is fried. Hopefully tonight will be better for sleeping.
I was going to review the movie “Master and Commander” tonight but I would have done a poor job. Tomorrow will be better.
One quick thought. I was watching the 1970 movie “Patton” and it occurred to me that any American WW2 soldier alive today would have to be at least 96 years old. Now statistically this is not a empty set. There are probably still many thousands of these veterans alive. But that number is probably diminishing at a terrible rate. WW2 is becoming like the Civil War was when I was a boy, ancient history. Temporal change is a little shocking when it reaches you. But it’s also enlightening. It gives you better insight on how the past is misrepresented.
Well, I’ll try to do better tomorrow.
