"In my End is my beginning."
C...Curtis,<br /><br />"In my End is my beginning."<br /><br />Congratulations on the exam. I never doubted you would pass it... nor did I doubt that the thing was really putting you through the wringer for a month or two there.<br /><br />(I'm just guessing in my certainties, naturally, as usual.)<br /><br />Jack Benny... yes, that can be a difficult argument to sustain.<br /><br />Years ago I had the acquaintance of an eager young American purebred poetry debutant upon whom I bestowed the legacy of an ancient Jack Benny appreciation, in the form of about 300 taped shows.<br /><br />The bloom was off the rose before it even had a chance to see the light of day, I fear, in that instance.<br /><br />Perhaps there are some tastes one should never attempt to explain.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139185550151027390.post-22387941120652799732010-11-06T15:36:55.699-07:002010-11-06T15:36:55.699-07:00Having just completed the exam I was preparing for...Having just completed the exam I was preparing for (it was an exhausting, draining experience; it wasn't one of those exams you could complete with a feeling of obvious triumph; I finished by driving, exhausted, over a parking barrier), I wanted to say that I have been turning to these photos for a sense of connectedness and comfort since they were posted. In college, I got into an unexpected, irrational argument (I didn't pick the fight) with a friend over Jack Benny. I love Jack Benny. My friend averred that there was something wrong with that. I'll (re)submit: There isn't. I love going to the movies. Each of these pictures reminds me of parts of my life and positive and hopeful feelings I've experienced just thinking about entering a cinema. That being said, Jane informs me that at the Anthony Wayne Theater in Wayne, PA, popcorn prices have now reached $8. End Times, I say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
