A colleague is doubting my boomer cred, because I was born in 1963. He says, "You're on the cusp." But my parents were *both* WWII veterans. I'm a late boomer, but a boomer, dammit. I remember reading Douglas Coupland's "Generation X" when I was 29 and thinking the characters all seemed young.

I just saw John Christopher Jones perform as the ghost of Firs in a great Off-Off/Broadway production of his translation of THE CHERRY ORCHARD, by the company Adult Film NYC. He recorded his performance weeks before he died.

“Andrei Rublev” is a timely watch, and, as it’s episodic in nature, you can view it in installments like a limited series and still feel its power. It’s on the Criterion Channel, and rentable on demand. youtu.be/fYy9lhLqtEw?...
