Schindler's List. I started crying- maybe a third of the way through. Could not stop. Still can't; seen it half a dozen times or more and it always affects me... then, several years ago during a visit to Prague, we took a side trip to Terezin (Teresienstadt)- one of the camps that was a last stop before Auschwitz. There is a small crematorium in the city, though this camp was not, strictly speaking, a "death camp"- but walking in and seeing the ovens - and then, on the threshold of one of them, a single red rose. I lost it again.
gotta post this before I lose it again, again.
I got a big pot of blackeyed peas'n'hawgparts on right now, for tomorrow afternoon- 17 pounds of peas, about five or so pounds of smoked hawg, other stuff- cawnbread too. It'll all be gone by sundown.
