Laundry day is out of the way! It's cool and rainy today. I've got a bad case of the sniffles. I've been running my heater almost constantly. I'm feeling achy and dull. I thought that I might start digging into the tasks I need to be doing to get ready for a possible move as well as cleaning/clearing that I'll have to do. But, I seem to only get one thing done each day before collapsing into a sleep or a movie or some form of space out. Life goes on but I'm not so sure about me. I seem to be walking on the edge of everything, ready to plummet into darkness as I make each step.

I watched a Billy Wilder film tonight--Ace in the Hole. It's an old b/w film about a man who gets trapped in an ancient Indian burial site. His story is turned into a big story by a newsman who's been looking for an opportunity to get his name made. The project to free the buried man turns into a media circus of the wildest proportions. The film story may have been based on an actual event. The reported becomes instrumental in prolonging the rescue efforts in order to keep the story alive. Things do not end well for the buried man and the reporter. Such is life in the media!

Tomorrow is another day! Tomorrow is another way! All the kids will come to play! Looking for the reindeer sleigh!
