snows of Kilimanjaro

ok, so i had to make a split second decision last night.....watch the president's fictional accounts of the way that he sees the progress his presidency is making in foreign and domestic arenas.....or watch an old movie based on a short story by ernest hemingway.......and i chose ernest...because at least he was upfront about his fiction ebing partly autobiographical .....the film, which was actually co-written by ernest...starred gregory peck.....looking and acting unlike atticus finch.....and ava gardner and susan hayward........it is told in a series of flashbacks.......and one has to listen very carefully for the title to be explained....one had to listen very carefully to understand most of what was going on.....ernest is obtuse in that way.......and now i will have to dig up the short story for an overdue reread.....to see just what ernest himself was willing to change in order to get credit was a screenplay writer.......and mr. bush's fiction......maybe he is trying just as hard to get credit as a screenwriter....in his own way
