Happy Birthday to Dexter

Dexter

Today is Dexter's ninth birthday. My boy entered out lives five years ago, as an adoptee from the Nevada Humane Society. He is quite the character and a neighborhood favorite.

My BFF loves flowers and lounging in a lap. He will sit on the table and watch birds on YouTube. He is always waiting on the porch when I come home from work, He loves sleeping next to me at night. A typical cat, he accepts affection on his on terms when he wants it. I hope he is around for many years to come.

Happy birthday, Dex!

Feuding Knights in Paris and a new movie

This is a long post. I hope you bear with me.

First, I want to make a quick statement about movies made not books. For the most part, the books are usually better. No director, producer, or actor can honestly impart a real feelings or thoughts that the writer put into the pages of his or her book. Hollywood always wants to change the story to suit their agenda. Sometimes it is because the book is too long, as in “Gone With The Wind” (and what happened to Scarlet’s other children?) or T.H. White’s “The Once and Future King” (“The Sword in the Stone” is part one of the novel). Sometimes stories are sanitized, aka Disney-style (read the original versions of Bambi, The Little Mermaid, or Mary Poppins). The author of “Forest Gump” was so upset with how the movie came out, he wrote a sequel in such a way he knew no one would make a movie out of it.
