Micah 6:8
Proverbs 30:25-27
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today is National Badger Day - something perhaps celebrated more in Wisconsin than elsewhere. Of course, Badger is a fairly major character in The Wind in the Willows (please see my earlier post on children's books here), a book that takes place in England, so apparently badgers are not at all confined to Madison, WI. In fact, on a trip to England, we were in our hotel room (the Oxford, hard by the Earl's Court tube station) when we saw the fabulous film, UHF, for the first time. It included this intense, badger-themed scene.
It was a bit of serendipity, really. We were sitting in the room, looking for something to watch on television when we heard peals of laughter floating down from the room above. It was others of our party we heard, so we yelled up to them, asking what was so funny. "Turn on BBC3," we were told, so we did, and there was UHF in all its Weird Al magnificence. Why one should have to go to England to watch a Weird Al movie about a local television station in the US is a question that will probably never be answered satisfactorily. Nonetheless, that's my story and I'm happy to share it with you.
Enjoy!
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
