Alex: Hey, Grammy! Okay I come by again this weekend? Joanie: What for, dear? Alex: Just want to ask you a few more questions about Lacey's later years... by the way, good news - my professor says that with a few tweaks, my film is - her words - "Sundance material"! Professor: Not exactly Sundance material, is it? Alex: That's because I haven't tweaked it yet. What she actually said.

you have to be careful, tweaking and spinning at the same time is just asking for trouble with your lower back.

Well, well, well …
Professor certainly did say “Sundance material.” Ah, but the devil is in the details … those pesky bits of fact that often dislodge us from our moral high ground.

mfboyd - anyone who plans to tweak and spin simultaneously should definitely invest some time into a good classical tai chi class. It’s not a cure-all, but it sure helps.

Alex might be becoming a politician as Lacey’s or an author for writing the books? That’s her goals in her future I guess.

Reminds me of the time the Soviets quoted the psalms (13:1?) saying that even their own Bible says, “There is no God.” Of course, the whole verse is, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God above.’” Details, details!

Or something like that.

I think it’s more like “You get an infection from a spiders deception.”
