Bob Dylan, childrens book, Forever Young. I did place it on my Amazon Wish List. I need to read it thoroughly before giving it to any child I know. Oblique references to “Lay, Lady, Lay” with a big brass bed? We’ll see. If it makes a child think of the world and his/her place in it, perhaps.
Can we do ten favorite movies next? My brother and I had a competition years ago and we both went way over the limit, but that doesn’t mean you can do so.
If you were stranded on a deserted isle with no-one, a 42″ flat screen TV and electricity and water and food and all the DVD’s in the world, what ten movies would you watch over all others? No. You have to look over the world of movies and choose ten that you can have on your isle. What would you choose?
Just like Gilligan’s TV show a boat will come to take away the other 50,000 movies but for some inexplicable reason, will not rescue you. Even if you just saw the re-runs, why didn’t the Professor and Captain get them out of there? Didn’t Tina Louise need more gilded dresses?
Go for it. It’s a wonderful life, and looks to be a white christmas here, but I have a letter out of Africa from both Meryl Streep and Katharine Hepburn that reminds me of little women and the song that Sam was not to play at Rick’s. The hills are alive with do-re-mi and Thelma and Louise need me to help a young Frankenstein get the flux capacitor working so that Michael J Fox can go back to the future.
I truly, madly, deeply love you for putting up with me these seven months. Please write in. Thanks, Dee and the Tin Man, who has a heart after all

I could have been a contender.
Frankly, Scarlett, ….
I’m cheating, but I’m not allowed to win the contest.
What’s a DVD?
Shawshank. Redemption, indeed.
Wait a minute – is it “all the DVD’s in the world” or only ten??!!??
My list would be easy: all 7 original Star Trek movies (yes I include “Generations” if for nothing else than proving that WS can really RIDE!); then “Fifth Element”, “Robocop”, and eenie meenie mynie moe, pick a Simon Pegg movie just to mix things up a bit (we loves us some “Shaun of the Dead” & “Hot Fuzz”)…
You may select from all the DVD’s in the world, but only retain ten. Eclectic selection. We know our Jimmy would choose Star Wars 4-6 plus seven more. Who knows? When he was home sick last week I caught him watching an old Bob Hope movie. Yet another film and he yells from the bedroom, “who’s the girl? I think it’s Eddie.” Five minutes later I’m awaiting her screen appearance. “It’s Glenne Headley, dear.” Eddie, indeed.
