This Is The Day We Have Been Building Toward, Darlings--The Longest Day Of The Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   Also, 55 years ago today, Judy Garland died. Something to think about, girls!

                                  As I was taught, June 22 is the longest day.  So, does that mean last night was the shortest night?  Or is it tonight?  I'm telling you, last night did not feel so short!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                  The sad thing about today is that from now on, the days gradually shorten--this will not be noticed till sometime past Labor Day, in September--until it starts getting dark at 4:30 in the afternoon.  I would rather have prolonged daylight.  If only this time of year would stand still!!!!!!!!!!!

                                     Hey, why not commemorate the longest day by watching some lengthy movies?  Here are some suggestions.

                                       "The Longest Day" (1962) --The title says it all.

                                       Abe; Gance's 1927 "Napoleon".

                                      "Les Enfants Du Paradis" (1945) --Known as the French "Gone With The Wind."

                                      And how about the Selznick classic?  To hell with culture cancellers!!!!!!!!!!

                                     The 1968 (at least in the States!) Russian "War And Peace".

                                     The 1987 "Little Dorrit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

                                      However you spend this day, dears, enjoy it while it lasts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
