I just started watching The Tender Trap on TCM, and I keep thinking of the last time I watched it - the morning of September 11, 2001. I had just woken up (at this point I was still unemployed) and turned on TCM immediately. It's still one of my favorite channels. I can't remember at what point it was that my mom called me, but I was pretty into the film. She told me that a plane had hit the World Trade Center and I was only listening halfway. I'm lousy on the phone when the TV's on. She told me to turn to a morning news show, and that was it for me. About 45 minutes later I flipped back to TCM, and it was showing the same coverage everyone else was.

So those two things are forever connected in my mind - The Tender Trap and September 11. It's a strange relationship, but there it is.

And the thing is, I have yet to see the film all the way through. We'll see how far I get tonight.

(I wanted to do an audio post on this, but audioblogger is wonky, again.
