Zen

I had to rest for a few days last week following a trip to the infirmary. I supplemented my recuperation with a couple of old movies, including this classic with Bogart and Bacall, from the pen of Raymond Chandler. The dialogue still snaps and crackles 76 years on.  

Have a good week. Wrap up warm.
