I just saw "Christmas Story" over the weekend.  It'll never win any
Academy Awards, but it was fun.  The movie was based on Jean Sheppard's (sp?)
book "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash" and was narrated by Sheppard
himself.  I'm intrigued enough to go out and search for the book.  Has
anyone read it?

It was a good, kid's-eye view of life, the Universe, and everything.  I'd
recommend it to anyone who, as a kid, was convinced that there was a secret
to coping with the world, that everybody else knew it, but you were hiding
behind a door someplace when the secret was revealed.

Ah, youth; ah, innocence; ah, sh*t, I'm glad I'm not a kid any more.  :-)
