My Secret Life

This has nothing to do with politics, but I wanted to talk about "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."

I watched it as we fell asleep the other night, and it was a wonderful experience. Not because it was such a great story or a great movie (it wasn't) but whenever Danny Kaye went into one of his fantasy worlds, I was just amazed.

The reason is because I realized that the kind of imagination I saw there was the kind I used to have as a child. I'd actually forgotten how to use this type of imagination, or how it worked.

I want to watch this movie again (probably with Jack and Liam). I feel as if I'm on the brink of unlocking the hours (years, really) of imagination I once enjoyed.
