"Morgen!" / "Reservation Road"

to nobody in particular:

...Travis usually goes to sleep around the beginning of the 8 o'clock hour, and he did so a few nights back as well...

...around 9:30om, an hour and a half after he went to sleep, Sarah and i hear his door open up and we both look at each other, wondering, uh-oh, i hope everything is alright...

...he walks around the corner into the living room with a smile on his face and says, "morgen!", in the usual way with which he greets us in the mornings in German...

...i think we may have confused him a little bit as we walked him back into his bedroom, trying to tell him that it would probably be better if he slept just a little bit longer -- say, for nine or ten more hours...

...but i must say -- i've chuckled ever since then whenever i picture it...

..."morgen!"...

...the moral of the story is: "chuckling is good for the soul"...

...yes -- that's quotable, folks...

..."you learn something new every day"...

...today, i learned: if you rent a movie with an interesting and challenging story starring Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix and Jennifer Connelly expecting it to be a good one, you will most likely not be disappointed...

...see below...
