OK I know. The world is ending, the climate is cooking, the economy is crashing and God only knows what else is happening in the "real world." Even so – Twitter and Facebook and all points in between are so so sad. This break up is just not fair. Susan Sarandon and I are the same age and I once spent time with her (well, twice but both times in an elevator in our building where friends of hers lived and we DID talk…) and in some crazy way felt more in common with her than with most shiny people. The politics of course didn't hurt either. And Bob Roberts may be my favorite political movie and so Bush-prophetic.
Because of all that, I too feel a floating sadness – nothing heart=wrenching – just sad. These two have always done what they believed and made us all happy. And they deserve to be happy too. Whatever it takes to get there.
That was exactly my reaction! Oh No. I was sad to hear this. I think partly because they went against the norm. Something that most people felt would never work did – at least for a good long time. And they sort of seemed made for each other. But – we really never know wht is actually going on in people’s lives, do we?
