when the going gets tough,it's time to start watching 'band of brothers' again. i'm too old to be going through a midlife crisis (unless i live to be 96,which,really,doesn't sound like much fun at the moment,but who knows...),but i'm not feeling too great these days.
to distract myself from thinking about how much my life insurance covers,i'm thinking about what choice of looney bins i have...well,i suppose i'll probably get through. going through depressive episodes it's easier in some ways as one gets older (you know you've survived it before,and occasionally can use some tricks you've picked up over the years to make you feel better,though they work sometimes and sometimes not) and tougher in other ways (you're tired of dealing with depressive episodes and wonder why you should try to survive them because there's a lot less future than there used to be.)
anyway, BoB got me through some tough times from the holiday season before my mom died of als through her death in the spring of 2004. for many months,i watched some of it every day. there are...god,i can't remember how many episodes,because it's been a while since i watched it...but i think there are 8. and it's some of the best television drama i have ever seen.
a few musical asides while i'm writing:
