Woke up in the night with worry about the world situation, and read the article "Fractured Fairy Tale" about Meghan and Harry. It was mildly diverting.

I haven't seen the article, but the headline takes me back about 50-55 years! :laugh:

I never did get around to adding Rocky and Bullwinkle to my DVD collection. ;D
Front-Ranger:
A couple of days ago I watched the recent movie The Lighthouse which was favorably reviewed in TNY. It was so creepy it gave me nightmares.
Two guys in a Godforesaken lonely place out in the middle of nowhere. Yes, there was attraction, but not in the Brokeback way. Ends badly, but not in the Brokeback way.
I honestly can't recommend it. If you like psychological thrillers, then maybe. It could also be termed a horror movie, in the sense that you are horrified that it was made into a movie.
And yes, wonderful Robert Pattinson is one of the two guys. But still...

I jumped ahead in my magazines to read "Fractured Fairy Tale," and I quite enjoyed it. I enjoyed the story of Augustus Frederick, duke of Sussex, as much as I joyed reading about Harry and Meghan.
I had an Aha Moment when Mead wrote that Queen Victoria had granted Augustus' wife the title Duchess of Inverness. That event was a plot point in one episode of Series I of Victoria, which ran on PBS. In the show, for a reason I can't remember, the queen awarded her the title so that she could be presented at Court. It probably had something to do with the queen's wedding to Prince Albert.
