Matt I don't know how to stream things . Well, if it costs money to see that movie you are talking about, I don't use credit card online, so maybe I will never see that movie.but yes, it sounds awesome. And most certainly I will go see Dark Tower. It was too many in the series for me to start reading it, but the movie will do for me.

Love your stream of consciousness here, matt. You are one of the lucky teachers who gets summer off. my work weeks never end except for this one week off in the summer and the holiday at end of the year. enjoy our marvelous summer. the years are flying by!

Such touching imagery Matthew, If I ever get across the pond I'll join you for a cuppa! Love the humour about the croissant and computer age! oh how wonderful that your father set your poems to music that would be amazing to hear and those memories you will always have - I hope he's looking down on and keeping a watchful eye on your both :-) hugs Jan xx
