Saw the movie of Seabiscuit today. It was good, though because I’m reading the book I was disappointed that it had to leave out a lot of the great stuff in the book. I’ve never given a thought to the very dangerous and physically punishing life that jockeys experience. Nor did I know anything about Seabiscuit and his importance to the spirits of those who went through the Depression. I was just born about the time he made history.
 Deep Thought: I think people tend to forget that trees are living creatures. They’re sort of like dogs. Huge, quiet, motionless dogs, with bark instead of fur.

It’s tough to make a good movie of a great book — a feat seldom accomplished. I’ve heard both are good, but the book far greater.
