They have got it right. Their stories last and are remembered by our generation and those whom came before us.
While watching the opening ceremony my son asked me. Who were the other three characters that popped out of re beds.
He is a child of today and he know Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. He gets excited at the thought of a Diary of a Wimpy Kid. But he doesn't recognize the original Queen of Hearts, Captain Hook, or Cruella deVille.
Were we recall Mary Poppins who can make Medicine go down with a spoonful of sugar. Our children are only familiar with the movie character Nanny McPhee.
Brava to the British authors for their ability to bring us stories that makes us think as well as feel.

I'm Torn on the OOC!
What to think and what to say? There were some positive things about the OOC (Olympic Opening Ceremony) last night.
The performances were well staged. The imagery or the destruction of the simple life that gave way to industrialism broke my heart. One shot in particular was as they were pulling part of the beige fields and poppies and were given a glimpse of what the change looks like from the outside. But the birth of an era leads to ups and downs. And we thank London for all it has brought to the world.
