We should have gone outside instead of watching one of the sillier, senseless, meaningless movies it is possible to rent or buy. Winter or not the fields and woods are at least real, commensal and understandable if you know the genus and species. Know the genome and biome. Learn the physics and music. But this much reality requires an escape, hence bad movie. A bad book is better than a bad movie. A good movie trumps a bad book, but a good book is best and a great poem trumps all. Will my son Zach be one who applies the scientific method? Can Aaron explain God's intentions to the people? Their mother and I will wait.
