Stream of Consciousness

It was cold and clear when I stepped outside to get something out of the car. Maybe it was the crunching of my boots on the snow or the crisp air or the stars in the sky or the darkness or being alone and surrounded by trees but it made me think of the Battle of the Bulge. How cold were those guys sitting outside with ill-fitting coats and boots (if they had them at all) waiting to fight. It was about 5° here yesterday. How cold was it there? What was that like?

That made me think of the HBO series “Band of Brothers” which follows Easy Company from the first days of the war through the very end. I’ve heard rumors that HBO plans to make another series following another company,possibly one that served in the Pacific Theater. When? I’ve watched those ten episodes from the boxed set about five times each since getting them a year ago. It definitely ties with Lord of the Rings for title of my favorite epic.

Lord of the Rings,what a great trilogy. Peter Jackson did an amazing job. What does he have planned for King Kong? I hear it’s long. The reviewer on NPR last night said 3 hours 7 minutes. He also said Jackson probably could have shortened it to 3 hours 5 minutes if he took out all the unnecessary boring stuff. That sounds like a glowing endorsement.

Then I went back inside. It’s funny how the mind works.
