The coffee places Mom knows of don't allow dogs inside & it's cold out. After some searching, Good news, we found a few small shops that do allow dogs inside for pupcups. They're a bit further, but we will try those very soon instead of Starbucks. Our ears are open and we hear you. #dogsofbluesky

It would be criminal NOT to extol the charms of HAROLD & MAUDE (1971) on Bud Cort's 77th Birthday, 3/29/48.
Perfect as a death obsessed teen romancing octogenarian Ruth Gordon (stunning), this weird little movie is so joyous, poignant, hilarious & life affirming. Lifelong favorite!

When I heard today that Bud Cort had died, it struck me how much Harold and Maude is a historical record. The film captures a moment in American culture that's so alien to today, I wouldn't even know where to begin to explain it. And it's Cort and Gordon who have kept that moment alive in our minds.

The best film ever. It taught me how to be a little less uptight. I still watch it a few times a year, just for good measure.
My heart is breaking.
May your memory always be a blessing, Bud Cort.
