Hush!

We've always loved going to movies together.  We brought our infant son to a theatre showing Fantasia.  He was fascinated by the music and the animation, almost lulled to sleep - until the Russian thistles started dancing!  After that, we had to take him out to the lobby.

Once, at a Wehrenberg, when they played that signature pre-show clip of theirs, with the whispering "Wehrenberg, Wehrenberg, Wehrenberg," ,Robin turned around in her seat and shushed the projection booth.

When she turned back around, she had the most mischievous grin on her face. Cracked up the four rows behind us, and was forevermore a family in-joke.

Admonition

When you have so much

that you couldn't possibly spend it all,

not even if you lived many lives,

there is so much more that could be done

before you start sending luxury cars into space.

So much more value to be wrung

from the cost of the politicians you can buy

than your next tax cut.
