TELL ME A STORY, SHEP


 Buzzfeed has produced a video of clips from Jean Shepherd's "A Christmas Story" with some digitally added things. I am totally surprised at the comments from the many who have not seen the film and who probably never heard of Shep, one of the very great storytellers of the past century. His stories began on radio, then books and in films, including this Christmas Classic.

 One of the splendid things about being quite terribly old is knowing about stuff like this.
