Discovery

I discovered something today.

When I was a kid, my mother watched and read romance stuff. Not my thing, but whatever. Gone With the Wind was one of the movies. The Thorn Birds was another.

Interesting story about that, and I just learned this – a character in the Thorn Birds had a very similar name to my mother. I don’t and can’t know if that had anything to do with her obsession, because she is no longer with us, but either way, I can’t help but smile. I don’t even know why — I hated those movies as a kid, and would roll my eyes and go upstairs to get lost in some fantasy book or textbook. I couldn’t understand the draw.

I dunno. just a random thing.
