On such a depressing day, I cleaned out my walk-in closet and took an SUV load of clothes I hadnt worn in years to the closest Goodwill store. (Still trying to get my butt in gear enough to put the For Sale sign up and finally escape MD for the NC the ocean beach.) Now it was time for some escaping from reality by remembering happier days of 1979 - even though Jimmy Carter was president - The Orioles were in the World Series (and I began a decade of the best second/part-time job a healthy single man could ever hope to luck into.) Here is one of the greatest opening movie scenes of all time. And the accompanying orchestration, with The New York Philharmonic playing Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue was the icing on the cake. (Please suffer through the 15 second commercial. The next 3:36 is worth it.] youtube/watch?v=uyaj2P-dSi8
