The Elkins poem is awesome (sorry, but the word actually fits). Do you know about the twins who were joined at the head? Their story is quite extraordinary. You can Google it. Here is a blurb: "Lori and George Schappell, conjoined twins whose skulls were partly fused but who managed to lead independent lives, died on April 7 in Philadelphia. They were 62."

That was a bit of astro-synchronicity when I came across Elkins' poem the other day. In fact, I rely on that sort of random array of things clicking into place more and more nowadays. I'm getting too old to plan everything out, so I let whatever falls in path do the work for me.

And, yes, I'd read about those twins. I can't imagine what a life like that would have been like. Too much.

To your point about nuthin’ on, I’ve had a hankering to watch some classic Hitch lately and, of course, for me that means Rear Window first and foremost. Every time I watch it I see something new. And I still wait with solemn anticipation for Burr’s cigarette to glow in the dark. Geez, is there a more elegant moment of calculated detachment than that scene? Come to think of it, I think I’ll put North by Northwest on the weekend’s viewing menu. Never a more handsome man lived than Cary Grant, but I digress. (Have you done his chart, Frederick?)

Hitchcock is the gift that keeps on giving. And I've studied his chart, yes. Most recently in the posts I did last year on the film Psycho (and ITS horoscope). A Leo with a Moon in Scorpio, that pretty much sums him up perfectly.

Yes, it does sum him up! Have you done Cary’s chart, too?

Does this mean I'll somehow be shoved out of my house later this month?

Like a lot of people, since COVID, my relationship to socializing has altered drastically. It doesn't help either the political crossfire we're caught in. I've lost track of people that have gone down the rabbithole of this or that odd ball theory (or conspiracy).

Looking forward to an airy Jovial vibe. Thanks for another funny and informative read. BTW your music playlist is so engaging, I discover someone new each time you refresh it.

Read Naomi Klein's new book, Doppelganger, as she illuminates in excruciating detail what happened to us all after the 'shock' of COVID. The best book I've encountered that provides a granular level of understanding about the alternate 'mirror world' we're all living in now.
