6 年Not sure if video clips work in a non visual format. My storytelling would probably lead one to think my sister is ten months old. Time travel is possible. Kurt Vonnegut said that which is another strength of having a good memory. City Slickers was about a man dissatisfied with his job who takes a journey. He sold radio advertising which inspired him to say "I sell air." leading to a lack of fulfillment. The Princess Bride is the third greatest children's movie ever made behind Mary Poppins and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Never went further on that list if it matters.?
Wisconsin guy, writer, a ponderer, a reflector, let's not call it brooding, but deep thinking and thoughtfulness, ok?
