P O V - Point Of View 

leaves a VERY great deal to be desired as I believe I’ve noted in the past. But every once in a while, a true gem appears at least briefly (rather like Halley’s Comet, actually….)

In this single instance, I’m referring to an ad for generic (I assume) HDTV, for which I have absolutely no use since I don’t watch tv at all. This is the ad which follows a boy from his beginnings in the 50s (apparently) through today, from boy to youth to young man, to military duty, to marriage, children, childrens’ growing up and older to grandparenting. It’s memorable, and priceless - especially for one who grew up and into and through all those eras…. PRICELESS. I suggest you catch it if you haven’t seen it, before it fades into the rest of the dreck out there….

I would love to have it on a dvd - to show my granddaughters one of these days. No - they haven’t seen it. They live in Germany and their tv is extremely circumscribed….

April Fools’ Day (even though I generally refer to it as “the Wild Hunt” instead!) Just not my thing…. anyway, now that it’s another month already I’ve been thinking again about “how time flies”. And it does - the older you get the faster too. Wonder whatever happened to the theories from the 60s which postulated time as a stream like water, you could step into and out of it at will, and someone would eventually come up with a viable time-machine? Washed away in the river, I’ve no doubt!
