Good morning Heathens :)

I don't know if I have posted this one yet. If so, enjoy the rerun :)

From today's Fort Worth, Texas Star-Telegram, a quote from Larry McMurtry:

"On Brokeback Mountain: "[Writing partner Dianna Ossana and I] both recognized Brokeback Mountain as a great story and asked that day if we could option it. There was a flood of people wanting to read it, but we got it first. My partner’s very tenacious and through thick and thin, she hung onto it. We waited until Heath Ledger got big enough we could cast him. It was a lot of luck and a lot of patience. You have to hang in there for a long time sometimes."



Wow!

Lovely photo as always. Do you think it will ever stop hurting? Over 6/12 and yet still sometimes I am caught all unaware again. I sometimes think, I must be completely nuts.I always said I would never cope with anything happening to one of my children, now I am beginning to really thnk that is true.I am still poleaxed so long after, about someone I really did not know.

WOW indeed, I have never read before that they waited for Heath.It is as always bitersweet.So many projects which will now never see the light of day.
 How can so many less than/evil people still be alive and kicking and killing, yet we lose someone like Heath. I know I run the risk of being shot down in flames, but it is one reason I have rejected formal religion.It makes no sense to me.

Optom, life most of the time isn't fair at all. :(
