Comfort
How do you feel when the love of our lives Is dying of liver failure I remember him here, and it makes me sad To know how he was and it also makes me mad

Dead Poets Society
Introduction Dead Poets Society (1989) is more than just a film; it is a powerful reflection on education, individuality, and the courage to live authentically. Directed by Peter Weir and starring Robin Williams as the unforgettable English teacher John Keating, the movie is set in a strict boys’ boarding school in the late 1950s. Through poetry, unconventional teaching, and emotional honesty, the film challenges rigid traditions and inspires generations to question authority and embrace their own voices.

Dear Groundhogs...
Note: some of you do not celebrate Groundhog Day (every February 2nd). You might be familiar with Candlemas Day (European inspiration for the event). If the groundhog in question sees its shadow on a sunny day, six more weeks of winter; if not, an early spring. And our rodents - starting with Willy and Pete (there are others) - have different prognostications above and below our borders. Nice.
