That’s a picture I took on the George Washington Bridge a week or so ago. I was on my bike and not stuck in traffic.

My Dad used to send me videotapes when I was stationed in Germany. That’s how I saw all of Moonlighting. It’s also how I saw Night Flight and the amazing J-Men Forever.

And, it’s how I first saw the cult classic Twice upon a Time.

Here’s part of the story line from IMDB:

Once upon a time, there were some people called the Rushers of Din. Each night as they slept, sweet dreams were delivered to them from sunny Frivoli, while nightmares came to them from the mysterious Murkworks. But the malevolent master of the Murk, Synonamess Botch, was not content. He wanted the Rushers to have non-stop nightmares

The Rushers of Din are commuters. They do nothing but rush, work, rush again, and sleep.

I figure I got this tape in 1986, so I was at the ripe age of of 22. I saw the Rushers. I laughed. I said “I’ll never do that.”

Yeah, I’ve done that. Not anymore.
