Hi Movie Nerd, I have been extremely well, by and large; thank you for asking. Glad to note your return, as I have always enjoyed reading your comments here, except of course where you have been accidentally drawn into some swinish counterpoint. Thanks for your comment on Flowers for Algernon, which I will respond to in that thread.

I feel bad about the whole ant debacle, and I should not have responded to his insults and idiocracy. When you're an emotional college student it is hard to keep from preserving your pride. That's a large reason why I left for a while; but now I am back, and hopefully this time around things will be smoother.

I literally just finished rereading FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON last week, and it's one of my favorites.

thanks MN, i started listening to a good audiobook of it on your recommendation.

just marvellous, what a great book on so many levels, instantly became one of my all time favourites.

i noticed that the author Daniel Keyes checked out of hotel paradiso June 15 2014 and the first thought that leapt readily and vigorously to mind was "well he sure left us a damn fine book to be going on with..."

and so i shall now insert this totally random but wryly amusing Abe quote

The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces the shepherd for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.
Abraham Lincoln

Thanks for hitting me up mate. What's been happening?

Oh... Lemme think... All of the above

But in a bearable and sometimes quite enjoyable mix
