The Miracle Worker is not for the faint of heart: plenty to enjoy but an entry level 1930s movie this is not. TRIGGER WARNINGS: melodrama, ventriloquy, racist tap dancing puppet boxd.it/e2swjF

An astronaut floats alone above Earth during a spacewalk, surrounded by the blackness of space, with the blue curve of the planet visible below.
This iconic 1984 photo is often called one of the most terrifying space images ever.

55 yrs ago this week, 4/17/71, all 4 former Beatles had solo singles in the UK charts:
Paul McCartney: "Another Day,"
Ringo Starr: "It Don’t Come Easy"
John Lennon: "Power To The People"
George Harrison: "My Sweet Lord"
All 4 songs still sound great, 55 yrs later.
Play 'em loud.
Wishing you speedy recovery. Hope you can make the most of it with some satisfying reading and film wallowing.
