Its Monday. Time to get up and... ...not sure what to do. The morning is looking overcast. Wonder if its even worth it to bring the boys to swim camp as I might get a call 30 minutes later to pick them up. Sue is safely in Chi-Town, but not after waiting near six hours for her flight. Yesterdays turbulent weather played havoc with our nations air travel system. Someone asked me what I thought of the look of the new Wonder Woman who will be featured in the upcoming Superman/Batman movie. I dont have much of an opinion actually. I like Wonder Woman and all, but its not something Im passionate about like I see so many others. But can I put something in perspective for those who are so passionate? To most of them, Linda Carter was Wonder Woman. She was to me too. Thats how I got introduced to the character. In turn, I started reading the comic books. In reading them, I began to see different incarnations of the character, but she was still Wonder Woman. Why? Because she was still the same character no matter what she looked like. She strove to do what was right while bringing a message that men and women could really be equal and not dominate each other. People are focusing on her appearance. She doesnt look like Linda Carter. Ill know if shes Wonder Woman when she interacts with Batman and Superman. Her words will determine if she is the character, not her appearance. Because if thats what youre going to hold her up to, then you need to chastise the first season producers of the Linda Carter series who got it wrong when Wonder Woman was set in World War II. Because in the end, this is more about appearance, which is what has held up humanity from progressing as a species for centuries. Were uptight about how one looks rather than taking the fiber of their character into consideration. Can I get an Amen!? Happy birthday to Eileen, Peg, and Justin. Have a great birthday starting off a great week leading to a great year.
