Goats are working for Kansas City

For the third year, Kansas City has goats working for them.  I like the idea.

A movie from long ago

Once upon a time in the mid-nineteen-sixties when I lived alone in my apartment in Kansas City, I first heard this song while watching a 1952 black-and-white movie on my not-very-big, black-and-white television. It has haunted me ever since, and often reminded me that even in the valley of the shadow of death, I am not alone, ever. It was a time when "method acting" was all the rage and it seemed to me the actors went overboard with their actions. That movie… "Member of the Wedding"... seemed very much over-active, but I have never forgotten the song.


If you want to see some of the over-acting, here is a longer version from the movie, a clip that leads up to the song.
