If I turned every little scene of Night verse that pops in my head on a regular basis, I'd have a whole epic written down by now. It's a bit frustrating at times, but I'm the one not writing so I need to make myself concentrate. Or something.

The Greatest Show on Earth?? Is that the old movie with Burt Lancaster?

Did you mean Charlton Heston? There's also James Stewart. Among others, obviously. I adore the whole movie. Makes me think of my parents' work, too *g*

I love turning off all the lights except for the Christmas tree lights late at night after everyone else has gone to bed

Oh yeah, I know the feeling!

Hope you had the time/opportunity to watch It's a Wonderful Life by now :-)
