To thine own self be true

For three years in the 2000s, I worked as a film classifier for the Province of Alberta.

The white sign is what moviegoers would have seen in theatre cashier windows and on outside display poster boards in the 1960s for racier films.

The black sign below that is what Film Classification used to be called when films were actually censored.

The “We are not amused” look.

The complete Masterworks boxset remains spiritually satisfying.

I studied Classics in university. The Iliad and The Odyssey are where it all began for Western literature.

One of my favorite literature tee-shirts (UK dust jacket, same as poster to left). Right poster is from an American edition. Leonard sitting on a bench near Stanley Park, Vancouver. Movie poster is from a Brando guilty pleasure: The Night of the Following Day.

Grandsons visited in garage. Came bearing nice cards and gifts.

With Hitchcock and Frank Lloyd Wright fridge magnets to add to my collection.
