Secretary
- Commentary: Under construction.
Just a delightful sexual comedy that I first watched some years ago (perhaps even the year it came out), have since checked out of our library system a few times, about which I always thought, "Yeah, I should add that movie to our/my collection," but never did, possibly because Mom was still alive and you know how ravenous she was to watch any movie that became a part of the collection in this house and I may have had my doubts about showing her this one. Then, today, I remembered it, how much I enjoyed it and rethought my doubts about having it in our/my collection. As I think about it now, in fact, I may have been wrong about what I guessed her reaction might have been to this film. Well, Mom, sorry about that, truly. When it arrives, I'll send a quick message "skyward" so you can be sure and settle in, here, while it plays. As you may know, your rocker remains, in it's usual place, and hasn't been used since you left. I'll make sure it's dust-free before I put this in the player.
Likely more later.
