I never realized that Ang Lee of Taiwan directed Broke My Back Mountain. My favorite film of Ang Lee are, actually, two: THE ICE STORM... ANG LEE...? No. His name is Li An, from PingDong, Taiwan. At the very least, besides wafers, we countrymen also have one great director out of Taiwan. (By wafers, I just meant a sillycone wafer, and not a Polish Christmas wafer.) Better yet, might be a Texas wafer...

Although I am not Canadian: Sometimes I do wonder if most people alive today can truly appreciate the majesty of Canada in the 1960s. Ontario, for example. 60 years ago, we could canoe for hundreds of miles and not see a soul. We would strip naked and bathe in clear waters. Never a bear did bother us. We would portage our canoes and supplies, from lake to lake, using head straps. We were young, in those days, and just at the edge of puberty. And so, it was never like Brokeback Mountain.... Brokeback Mountain? Ang Lee of Taiwan??? What?

Have you recently noticed that we are in a downward spiral? Any pilot knows that, when spinning a small plane, beyond a certain point, the spin becomes irrecoverable. Check out YT, these days.

I hope it was as good for you as it was for me. Stream of consciousness is not, particularly, my forte, not having much experience documenting it.

Read more Ulysses, in 2023, is my advice. Irish authors and Celtic music can't be beat, for sure. I have a soft spot in my heart for Irish authors. And, Celtic music is the only variety which makes me weep for the utter magnificence of such beautiful sorrow. Regards, Gamma Globulin
