Happy & Sad
Two things happened today that give me a pleased/saddened duality of feeling that reminded me of Determan & Surdo in this picture:

I’m saddened because when I went out to my car at 7:24 A.M. I found, instead of the usual dew, a respectable coat of frost on the windshield of my car. I’ve felt the cool breezes and seen the changing foliage, but naturally-occuring frozen water is a more depressing sign of encroaching winter.
Almost two weeks ago, I bought The Blues Brothers. Including tonight, I’ve watched it pretty much every other day. The best word I can think of to describe it is wholesome. Somehow this musical with car chases exudes optimism that I can’t resist. I sit here watching it, smiling. It makes me happy.
