Every plant knows this:  It’s only when you get crap thrown on you that you really start to grow!” Scott Sorrell

The boot shaft on mine is buckskin color…not black.  Very cute.   Make me an offer.

I used to play on this rock as a kid…we went searching for it on this vacay.  It’s buried in sand with no beach to speak of…..

I watched Crazy Heart last night and here’s the thing.  Did the casting director have to pair Jeff Bridges with an actress who could pass for his friggin daughter?  Yuck.   Is there not one  actress even ten years his junior (if she MUST be younger) in all of Hollywood  to fill this role?  He’s older than I am  for crying out loud.  I just checked.

And here’s the other thing.  Has anyone mentioned the equally serious  love/sex addiction of the character played by Maggie Gyllenhaal?  Did she make it into recovery too?  What’s her story.   Or did she simply meet a “really great guy” and everything got all better.  NOT.

Geez.   I thought I would be seeing a  serious film about recovery.  What a disappointment.
