A far cry from winter - Ostronomos - Apr 7, 2022
Today I had the pleasure of taking an afternoon stroll outdoors and was pleased to encounter nothing unexpected. I was in a group so in my typical manner I sought every opportunity to demonstrate my intellectual superiority. I can't imagine why anyone would not want to. Is this a sign of a fragile ego? For instance some fellow repeated what I said and added the words ''._.good sir,'' in a sarcastic Shakespearean tone.

Has my nascent pseudo-intellectual superiority been suitably and correctly stroked by this deduction? Good sir?

The vision of Ostro living in Mom's basement fitted perfectly. It still does. The notion of the outing (in the 'breath of fresh air' not the 'we know who you are' sense) also fitted the picture. But in England's green and pleasant land? I think not.

I'll probably wait and watch it on TV rather than cinema, since "A Far Cry From Winter" has received mixed reviews.
