Just finished watching Shawshank Redemption
For the 15th time (or so).

The movie ends with Morgan Freeman saying the words "I hope".

Just seems appropriate on Election Eve.

1. That movie always reduces me to a puddle of tears.
That ending scene on the beach as the camera pulls away ... :cry:

2. An incredible piece of work.
It's what turned me on to Morgan Freeman, as much or more than Driving Miss Daisy. Here's to hope.

3. hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

4. Here's another bit that also seems appropriate, after 8 years...
"Anything you put in my mouth, I'm going to bite off."

6. My favorite movie of all time
Love, love, love that movie. I might just have to pull out my dvd tonight and watch it again-- keep my mind off the election.
