If someone wants to learn about me, the way I think, how I feel, what I do, it might as well be on and in my terms. One reason I started this site is to build a place where I could be laid bare, so to speak where the thoughts and ideas are all my own, even the filter is my own. No community…

Early steps of a new journey

Thought on Willy Wonka

A few days ago, the great comedic actor Gene Wilder died. One of his most popular roles is as Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067992/). Yet, it’s not my favorite of his and I find the movie a little boring. It looks like it was done on the cheap… all that is for another post. I want to take a…
