Calling it a day

#WriteStuff A6 19SEP ... "International Talk Like A Pirate Day".

Columbus day.

#WriteStuff A4 This is a harder question than I thought it would be ... but it's Barbara Kingsolver's "Demon Copperhead".

#WriteStuff A3 I'm going to give a nod to Peter Capaldi's Oscar-winning "Franz Kafka's 'It's a Wonderful Life' ". He mangled the director as a slip of the tongue, and realised the only way to see it was to make it.

#WriteStuff A2 In "Everything I Know About Zombies, I Learned in Kindergarten", I used them all ... both to help tick off the passing time, and to show how the survivors strove for some sense of normalcy with celebrations that were only partially successful ... much like most of our holidays.

#WriteStuff A1 It's shifting as the years wear on. It used to be that Thanksgiving would drive me beserk, and Christmas would always result in feelings of failure.

As we've settled in on lives of long-term-married senior citizens, they've become more relaxing and much calmer.

#WriteStuff As seems to happen once a month, this is a night that I bear an uncanny resemblance to the host.

#3 is as bad ... it's not even the funniest Woody Allen movie.

Del Toro explicitly credits Bernie Wrightson ... so if you feel like you have a case, I'd start there.

I share the Manson association and it does keep me from appreciating it as much as I should. It was originally "Hell to Leather" and I wonder what impact keeping the original lyrics would have had.
