The snowman returneth

Yes pantasy, it�s snowing again. Just when we thought that winter was going to give us a break, being the first day of spring and all, more white shit covers us over like a shroud. I think we�re just not getting the message, which is, �Forget it, you puny human beings! You are definitely not in charge here!�

We drove through the white shit to get to and from a movie. Yes folks, we went to a first-run movie in Sherbrooke, in English yet, believe it or not. It was none other than Secret Window, starring the inimitable Johnny Depp, based on the novella by S. King, Secret Window, Secret Garden. I never read the original story, not being a Stephen King fan. I found this movie very disturbing, especially since the good guy was the bad guy (oy, you need a degree in psychology to wade through this one) and the bad guy didn�t get caught, at least not by the end of the movie. So, without giving more of it away for you guys who haven�t seen it yet, let me just add that the scenic town of Tashmore Lake is none other than North Hatley, 15 minutes� drive down the road (at least in good weather), and it was really nifty seeing the interior of LeBaron�s grocery store, the lake and the gazebo. It shore is purty around here.
